Training at the company

Lombardini has always promoted the training of its personnel at all levels in its organization. The company is aware that the quality of its products, its service and its organization largely depends on the preparation and the ongoing professional training of its personnel.

Preparation and ongoing training have become indispensible because of the need to compete on a rapidly developing market, and due to the continuous development of technologies and methods of work associated with such a market. A dual purpose is thus attributed to training: to develop in our employees the skills that are consistent with company strategies, in order to meet the challenges of the market, and also to meet the need for professional enrichment of each employee.

Thus, working with the managers of each department, the Personnel Department has introduced an Annual Training Plan at the company. The goal set for the Plan is to teach and extend the skills that are required for the company’s success and for the growth of its Human Resources.

Lombardini has identified several important guidelines for its training programs and activities:
   

• Managerial Training Courses   
  Cost Value Management
  The strategic role of the supervisor
  The sale of multiple product lines
  Electronics for mechanics
  The supervision and administration of intermediate managers
• Company Master Program  
• Technical Training Courses
  Objective Based Training
  Measuring logistical performance
  Course for operators of CNC machines
• Language and IT Training Courses  
• Safety and Accident Prevention Courses  
• Internships and Apprenticeships that Connect Businesses to Schools – Universities – Companies 
• Training courses for newly hired staff, with relative on-the-job tutoring    


One of the training initiatives of a managerial nature which is of strategic importance to the personal and professional growth of staff who are identified as “having great potential” is the Company Master program called “Managerial Development”.
Many young high school and college graduates who have participated in this project subsequently attained positions of increasing responsibility at the company.
Starting with the exploitation of experience and know-how in the engine development and manufacturing sector, the plan seeks to improve skills by offering training programs for individuals and groups of professionals that effectively motivate and retain highly talented people.

The training involves more than 80% of staff. To be specific, by applying the O.B.T. (Objective Based Training) model to certain production lines, operators have had their capacities and professional skills certified through a mixed process of training and tutoring.
We have implemented this program because we’re convinced that success in global competition necessarily requires that the key skills of the entire organization (and not only of a few individuals) be given an upward direction.
Thus, we work to recognize and take full advantage of personal initiative and of the prevailing entrepreneurship at the company by providing each person with demanding, yet reachable goals. And we compensate the results in a highly objective, measureable manner.
