27. Castel Monte
(Centrati su di te)
Focused on “you”

the one who is receiving it

29. Often their employees
are people with complex
family situations.
Many of them have
important needs.

30. Audit in Castel Monte?
Castel Monte’s logic is completely different than a profit
organization, we are made by people.
Our work is a very delicate and very personalized:
dealing with children, old people, disables.
So it was very difficult to create a family friendly
environment.

31. Castel Monte was already doing
what the audit procedure asked them.
This served to highlight that it was
a value for the company.
They had never thought enough
that the work in our cooperative
is not the best from the economic point
of view, but it is great regarding the
harmonization of labor and organization.

32. Family Friendly company has the
purpose of analyze the problems of
their operators and understand how to
solve it. That's why they thought of a
team of psychologists and people
who can help them.

33. Thank You
Time for questions and discussion.
