Imperial is Top Employer in Italy

Imperial Tobacco has been recognized by the Top Employers Institute as one of the best companies to work for in Italy.

“Their comprehensive analysis highlighted our ‘exceptional employee conditions,’ especially the way our HR leadership strategies nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation,” Imperial said in a note posted on its website.

Margherita Ciaschini, HR manager, Italy, said that Top Employer certification was obtained only after a rigorous evaluation of employees’ working conditions and benefits.

“This process also looks at the opportunities we provide for training and career progression.

“Certification is an important achievement that recognizes the great progress we’ve made in terms of investing resource behind developing our people.”

Meanwhile, Claude Mullender, general manager, Italy, said he was proud of this success and delighted to see the continuing commitment and determination of employees, who had ensured that Imperial was the only tobacco company in Italy to grow market share last year.
