Cultivate a Caring Culture
Founded in 1946 in Alba (Italy) by brothers Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero, it is a family-owned business, now in its third generation, with around 45,000 passionate employees globally. The Ferrero Group operates in more than 50 countries and products are sold in 170. The Ferrero culture is rooted in strong family values and we work to build a culture of trust, respect, diversity and opportunity for all. We care about our people and we encourage everyone to grow and thrive. For Ferrero, it is essential to build a fair and inclusive workplace that upholds good working conditions and wellbeing, one where all employees feel welcome and have opportunities to fulfil their potential.
Ferrero aims at creating an environment which promotes a state of contentment and wellbeing, allowing all people to flourish and achieve their full potential for the benefit of themselves as well as the whole organisation with the intent to offer a workplace that feels good, thus creating a positive impact.
For this reason, Ferrero has designed a comprehensive Wellbeing Framework based on 4 dimensions: Health, Energy, Protection and Community.
To ensure the proper deployment of the framework Ferrero works with a Group Wellbeing manager and wellbeing focal points in each region to ensure the implementation of the initiatives.
Roughly every three months Ferrero launches awareness campaigns worldwide. Each selected day aligns with the Wellbeing Framework and its pillars and it echoes certain International Awareness Days, such as the Global Day of Mental Health in October, the International Volunteering Day in December and the World Cancer Day in February. Communication material is provided with subtitles or is translated in the 12 official languages at Ferrero allowing also some local adaptation to reflect territorial realities and context.
In addition, countries can decide to further deep dive and enrich the local experience with further actions in line with the agreed topic. The campaign is promoted at Group level via the official Intranet and social media, while countries reinforce messages locally (QR codes, screens), physical supports (posters, roll-up) and informative sessions (meetings).
Organised every year between April and May, the event reaches all Ferrero countries and locations worldwide, combining the implementation of global events with specific local actions. All staff are invited to participate, both in factories and commercial offices, differentiating the offer according to the respective context and target population. The focus is on drawing attention to our Wellbeing Framework at Ferrero, seeking to combine information sessions and interactive experiences. From theory to practice, from instructions to games, encouraging community spirit and socialization among associates.
An internal social media channel, fully dedicated to Wellbeing is regularly updated with pertinent information and reflections. Resources are relaunched locally, suited to the context.
During the Wellbeing & Safety Month 2024, Ferrero has launched the Global Kinder Joy of Moving Step Challenge. A virtual event open to all workforce globally (blue collars and sales included), incentivising physical activity by tracking the collective number of steps taken by people worldwide while walking or running. Ferrero asked employees to set out, walking together, to feel good and do good, discovering, step by step, the values of the Kinder Joy of moving project. A challenge to create greater Ferrero people’s awareness of the benefits of active living, a hypothetical route touching different continents and over 30 countries where our Social Responsibility project Kinder Joy of Moving operates. More than 4.000 participants have enjoyed initiative, returning positive feedback and enthusiasm for the idea of repeating the experience.
