The mission of HR in Lombardini and Kohler Group

The overview of the Human Resources Department in Lombardini, a Kohler Company, is focused on building our mission with accuracy and significant investments: consider the associates a strategic asset for the Company.

The "person" in Lombardini, and in the whole Kohler Group, is considered the factor that makes the difference. In order to pursue this objective, this capital has to be managed with thoroughness and dedication.

As a matter of fact, Lombardini dedicates huge resources for training processes and associates' career development, mostly aimed at the achievement of excellent performance in all fields and at all levels.

The respect of individual diversity, the continuous improvement of professionalism and the sharing of values that lead our daily behaviors, help all associates to build trust both inside the organization and outside with our partners and customers.

The focus on our associates' career development is aimed at creating new profiles with high technical competencies in the correspondent fields, capable of working in cross-functional environments, prepared to adapt themselves to changes and willing to assume responsibilities with more and more significance.

Specific training paths are the most important tools in achieving our objectives: first, thanks to different class training, second thanks to coaching, mentoring and training on the job and finally, thanks to innovative processes to evaluate performance. All of these training methods have the intention to spread a sense of membership in all associates as actors/players in the definition and achievement of their objectives strictly linked to the objectives of the company itself.

For those reasons, Lombardini wants to attract dynamic people, with international culture, motivated to grow professionally, results oriented, leaders capable to come up with new innovative ideas and to find out new market opportunities; people with a strong passion, that believe in the importance to work in a team to achieve a common objective in a proactive organizational context, based on strict collaboration and mutual trust.

Our key values could be summarized in:

• Build Trust: provide information in a way that is candid, informed and not manipulative. Our efforts are aimed at showing openness and thoughtful consideration to all ideas. We strongly believe that this attitude is the basis to build strong and long-lasting relationships, both inside and outside the company.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: we initiate actions to improve existing processes; try to identify new opportunities, implement solutions and measure their impact on the organization.
• Focus on the End Customer: we make the customer, internal or external, and their needs, the primary focus of the business, analysis and actions.
• Set High Standards of Performance: we ask all associates to assume their responsibilities and accountability for successfully achieving goals or completing assignments; develop standards of excellence rather than waiting for standards to be imposed.
