Employee initiatives

All areas of the welfare system were strengthened and enriched with services to respond and help employees cope with the issues arising from the pandemic.

Easy was launched in July 2020 as a flexible and customisable intranet, integrating the many applications used in the company while remaining simple to use.

The "BE PARENTS" program, an online training course that enhances at work the skills acquired as new parents, is still available for all the interested employeses
Corporate intranet
Snam's new intranet, co-designed with a group of 80 employee users, today confirms itself as an essential tool to ensure communication and encourage engagement, representing a virtual space available to all of Snam’s people and which can respond promptly to everyone's needs.
Easy is the only Italian intranet to have received, in 2021, an award from the American digital consultancy company Nielsen Norman Group, after winning the Intranet Italia Champions 2020 last year.
The award was assigned as part of the "Intranet Design Annual", which prized the ten best internal platforms at global level for their ability to facilitate remote working, support internal communication flows and simplify access to company services available to employees.
The Snam Company Welfare system
Corporate welfare is the set of operations - both as monetary support and services - which increases the level of social protection and the purchasing power of employees and can indirectly generate a good working environment.
The company's welfare system was created over time with the goal of accommodating the emerging needs and requirements of the corporate population.
Since 2018, the Welfare Plan has been developed on a digital platform called "Snammy" around five areas of intervention: Family, Education, Work/Life Balance, Well-being and leisure time, Health. The platform was equipped with a welfare assistant, activated as a single point of contact and mediator between personal needs and corporate welfare responses.
In the Family and Education areas, in addition to the "dediCARE" service, which helps solve small and large family problems, from assistance for the elderly to school tutoring, Snam has set up services and counters to assist families through listening services, legal and tax advice and discounts on the purchase of books and school supplies, as well as offering scholarships for employees' children.
In the Well-being and leisure time area, Snam offers the possibility of using sports centres at advantageous conditions and has devised the "SnammyBene" project, an awareness-raising initiative focused on individual well-being issues.
In the Health area, employees have access to concessions and incentives in the health field, thanks to insurance coverage paid for by Snam, in mobility, with public transport passes at advantageous prices, and in catering, with the company canteen and takeaway service for private use. In addition, Snam offers its people a system of flexible working, including smartworking, flexible working hours in and out, and "short Fridays", i.e. the possibility of ending the working day at 1 p.m.
In addition, the Flexible Benefits system continued, which increases the purchasing power of employees who participate in the initiative, transforming a portion of the participation bonus, up to the entire amount, into welfare credit that can be used to purchase services to support health, school and training, cultural and sports activities, travel, mobility and supplementary pension plans for themselves and their families. The advantage of converting part of the bonus into a welfare credit is that, on this amount, no tax is due and the company recognises an additional bonus that increases proportionally from 8% to 20% depending on the amount converted.
Besides all areas of the welfare system were strengthened and enriched with services to respond and help employees cope with the issues arising from the pandemic.
