THe FIRST MOnCLeR KIndeRGARTen In ROMAnIA In COLLABORATIOn WITH ReGGIO CHILdRen
In 2023, as part of the expansion of the production hub, which involved an in- vestment of around 10 million euros, Moncler announced the opening of a kin- dergarten for the children of employees in Romania.
The initiative reinforces Moncler s presence as a major local employer and confirms the company s commitment to improving the well-being and work-life bal- ance of its employees by providing their children with an advanced learning space.
The Moncler kindergarten, which welcomes children ages two to six, of- fers an innovative learning experience based on one of the most internationally renowned teaching approaches developed by the Reggio Children organisation. This innovative approach fosters an environment that encourages children s po- tential and promotes experiential learning through interactions, autonomy, ex- ploration and communication.
The architecture, the design of the spaces and the furnishings of the school recreate the idea of an open atelier that stimulates children s knowledge and creativity. All educational activities are carried out according to a multilin- gual approach, in Romanian, english and Italian, to allow children to learn in a natural way and stimulate the multicultural dimension. Family involvement is key to designing a tailor-made learning journey. educators work closely with parents through regular meetings and workshops on well-being and nutrition to ensure continuity between children s school and home experiences.
The kitchen also pays particular attention to the origin and seasonal na- ture of products, involving children in activities related to the preparation of some meals to develop their personal autonomy.
The Moncler kindergarten obtained WeLL gold certification in early 2024, the world s leading building certification programme with the highest standards of health and well-being. The project adheres to the most innovative protocols and policies that promote health, safety and well-being, based on several factors, including the quality of light, water and air, energy efficiency, interior comfort and the quality of food offered.
DEVELOPMENT The identification of the best talents and their retention within the company is crucial for the Group. To value and develop people, Moncler uses the PIUMA leadership model, an annual performance evaluation system that measures the skills people use to achieve the assigned targets. Based on a robust methodology it measures performance by assessing the level of knowledge, problem-solving ability and impact on the business and leadership, then compar- ing it with the standard expected for the specific role. This allows to verify the level of adherence of the individual to their role, defining potential training and development plans.
The assessment is based on values of which every employee must be an ambassador and promoter: integrity, passion, harmo- ny with company culture, ability to build trust-based relationships, global vision and the drive towards innovation. Specifically, one of the dimensions in which each employee is evaluated is a specific area for assessing the compliance of their behaviour with the prin- ciples of the Group s Codes of ethics.
The evaluation system, which aims to improve business per- formance, has a medium-to-long-term perspective and is there- fore one of the key processes for managing and developing people, defining succession plans and retaining the best talent laying the basis of the salary review process, ensuring equity, equal oppor- tunities, meritocracy and market competitiveness. The employ- ee self-assessment is an important step in the evaluation process. It enables employees to compare the perception of their perfor- mance with that of the Company.
In the assessment process, each manager evaluates his or her staff using a digital platform. In addition, where applicable, the functional manager is also involved in the assessment. This assess- ment is subsequently circulated to and finalised within a committee of senior managers, with the aim of ensuring the comparison and calibration of the assessments, thus making them even fairer and more objective. The process ends with the sharing of the assess- ment between the manager and the employee, in a conversation, in which the areas for improvement identified are discussed, the re- sults achieved are emphasised and an action plan to strengthen fu- ture performance is shared.
The process is thus structured to include various steps in or- der to make the performance evaluation system multidimensional.
The assessment process is applied to all organisational roles,
