Culture, growth and continuous improvement: we are a Great Place to Work!

Our organisation is founded on three fundamental principles:

Those who hold leadership roles at adesso.it are supported by training programmes and specialised coaches who aim to improve their competencies, which we believe are fundamental to being a host leader(*): knowing how to develop valuable relationships that generate value, constructive feedback, active listening, the ability to ask developmental questions are just some of the capabilities that a leader at adesso.it must master. Added to this commitment is a clear corporate vision of collaborative leadership, with leaders capable of engaging and motivating people in their teams by defining clear and shared objectives. 

This leadership model aims to build a corporate culture oriented towards collaboration, where each person's contribution becomes essential for achieving ambitious goals.

Skills development represents a strategic priority for adesso.it, as it constitutes the foundation for guaranteeing solidity and security to our people and consequently to our organisation. This is how we offer concrete value to our clients. 

The results are tangible: our personalised growth pathways improve the technical and methodological preparation of our teams, and the mechanisms of our "learning organisation" model (e.g.: Communities of practice, Internal webinars, etc.) also favour the spread of a continuous learning culture, a crucial element for remaining motivated and competitive in an increasingly complex and dynamic working landscape. 

In this way, skills development is not just an investment in people, but a fundamental driver for the company's overall success.

At adesso.it, development and growth pathways respond to the specific needs and interests of each individual. This is realised through the adoption of a multi-level feedback process: continuous feedback in projects, from which most training needs emerge, and periodic feedback (three times a year) with the Leaders of Centres of Competence, members of the People Care organisational area. Leaders are capable of agreeing development objectives with hard and soft skills training pathways and coaching techniques, to support people in making happen what fulfils them and realises their ambitions. 

This system contributes to stimulating innovative solutions, creating a dynamic, proactive environment capable of continuously changing.

The adoption of Agile at adesso.it has been, beyond a methodological choice, above all a cultural change that has made the organisation more open, flexible and collaborative. 

Leadership has evolved into host leadership (*), an approach whereby leaders create an environment favourable to autonomy, collaboration and the valorisation of each person's talents, inspiring trust and inclusion. Beyond leadership, agility involves every single person in the organisation. It's a process that empowers everyone, allowing all to have a concrete impact, actively seek collaboration and feedback, and see change as an opportunity for growth rather than as a limitation. 

The benefits of this transformation have been significant and are reflected both on people and on business: 

• For people: greater autonomy and motivation, opportunities for personal and professional growth, and a more collaborative environment that has improved working wellbeing. 
• For business: greater effectiveness and productivity, continuous innovation and organisational resilience that allows prompt response to market changes. This approach also amplifies the positive impact on the community. It represents our commitment to building a modern, innovative and future-oriented organisation, where each individual is the protagonist of their own development and collective success. 
  
  Every day we work to consolidate the results achieved and push ourselves further, aligning corporate and personal objectives with Agile values. The success of a transformation is also based on incentives consistent with adopted principles: for this reason, we are progressively adapting performance evaluation systems and recognition mechanisms, rewarding behaviours and practices that favour collaboration, everyone's contribution towards continuous improvement.

For us, technology is a tool, not an end. We use it to improve the working experience, optimise processes and ensure that individual success translates into collective success. Every milestone reached is an opportunity to continue growing, in line with a world that continuously evolves. 

In our journey towards innovation, we are, for example, exploring the use of intelligent agents to support and facilitate business processes (onboarding of new colleagues, adoption of company policies and procedures, company knowledge management, etc.).

The "Great Place to Work" certification is a great satisfaction for us. Being recognised for the results achieved is a source of pride, but we know that true success is measured in the ability to constantly improve. We look to the future with the conviction that uniting people, innovation and knowledge can build a working environment in which each individual is the protagonist of their own development and shared success. 

"The reasons for successful growth are always the same: the will to change and people who give shape to this will in the form of sophisticated software." – the words of Dr. Volker Gruhn, founder of adesso SE, guide us every day, inspiring us to build sustainable and inclusive growth.
