Management model

Enhanced quality of life for greater efficiency

SELEX Sistemi Integrati promotes industrial process improvement policies to link greater production efficiency with enhanced well-being of employees.  The backdrop is the awareness that workers - their professional experience and cultural and emotional backgrounds alike - are a key factor of the company management model centering around value creation.
In 2005, the company thus launched the "Well-being Project", to offer staff innovative solutions and services, capable of harmonising their work activity with their private lives, with a view to achieving the best "work-life balance". One of the main initiatives of note is the setting up of a nursery school at the Rome site. The "Well-being Project" agenda also comprises the organisation of placements in Italy and abroad for employees' children, along with in-house events, some typically company-oriented, others of broader scope, such as the "Working Mother’s (and Father’s) Day".

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Inaugurated in September 2006, the "Nanna Bella" nursery at the SELEX Sistemi Integrati Rome site is the first facility of its kind among the FINMECCANICA Group companies. "Nanna Bella" is located within the premises of the company headquarters, at the heart of the Tiburtino technology district, covering a 3,000 square metre surface area.
Conceived in full compliance with the most advanced health, hygiene and environmental rules, the nursery - a 700 square metre building in a spacious garden area with an open-air playground - stands out sharply against its urban surroundings, thanks to a distinctively expressive and unique architectural style, in line with principles of clarity, simplicity and functionality. In the eyes of visitors, the building appears as a sum-total of easily recognisable volumes (cylinder, parallelepiped and triangle) which develop around a large central cylindrical space, at the center of the nursery’s shared activities.
From a psychological and educational point of view, the service provided by “Nanna Bella” draws inspiration from a 'community care' educational model, characterised by three objectives: full integration of the architectural project with the educational project, promotion of the quality of life, creation of a family support network.
In addition to the to the employees' children of this and other FINMECCANICA Group companies, the nursery welcomes a group of children living within the local Municipality. The success of this initiative has recently led to the activation of an intermediate junior school, for children aged from three to five.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Working Mother’s (and Father’s) Day" offers employees, especially mothers, the opportunity to introduce their children to their parents’ workplaces.
SELEX Sistemi Integrati, in participating for the first time in the 2006 event, has followed a constantly growing international trend: every year, in spring, it opens the gates of its Italian sites to the young and very young, organising guided tours, teaching activities and tailor-made entertainment.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During the summer, SELEX Sistemi Integrati promotes study vacations for employees' children, with several teaching activities, including English language courses. The company also organises placements in every country where it has offices (besides Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States), thus enabling employees' children from each of these four countries to meet with cultural and work milieux different from their own.
