Workplace inclusion initiative brings prize for Gruppo Mastrotto
Leather manufacturer Gruppo Mastrotto has won an award in recognition of inclusion and diversity efforts in the workplace.
An organisation called Difference In Addition (DNA) named Gruppo Mastrotto as one of the winners of an award it has made available to Italian companies of all sizes to recognise inclusion and diversity projects for a project the Arzignano-based tanning group set up in 2018.
Gruppo Mastrotto’s winning project involves bringing people with learning difficulties into the workplace to enhance their personal and professional development. People taking part in the project contribute to the company’s productivity by assembling leather colour charts and samples to present to customers all over the world.
“These colleagues are following a development path that focuses on building self-esteem, autonomy, skills and practices that will help them feel fulfilled in the workplace and in their personal lives,” Gruppo Mastrotto said.
