Marcolin has launched its annual Leadership Academy in Venice, a training project dedicated to talent and future leaders, with a session this year dedicated to women’s leadership.
Launched in 2021, Marcolin’s Leadership Academy comprises 10 sessions focusing on aspects of the company’s leadership model, including openness to change, practicality, responsibility and sense of belonging.
This year introduces the ‘integration of soft skills enhancement modules dedicated to women’s leadership’ with company executives and external experts training the future managers based on the principles of equity and inclusiveness.
Sabrina Paulon, Marcolin Group HR Director, said: ‘The Leadership Academy, and specifically this year’s run, is an integral part of a vision launched many years ago, whereby Marcolin is committed to promoting a culture of respecting differences.
Diversity is a value for us and a driver of economic growth and development not only to the advantage of women, but of all the people involved.’
Today, 57% of the company’s employees are women, 43% of whom are senior managers. In 2022, Marcolin received the recognition ‘Best Employers for Women’ in the eyewear industry from the German ITQF Institute, which rewarded the top 360 companies in Italy.
