One Group, one big team

Ensuring a good work-life balance is essential for us. We always seek to put our people at the heart of every project.

Flexibility and Smartworking

For us, efficiency and skills are not tied to a physical location.

Smart working allows for work planning that responds to the personal needs of Ifis People. People must be free to choose how best to combine activities at their own pace.

This way of working improves the work-life balance of our people and responds to the needs of the new generations.

We want to allow people to manage their work, combining personal and family needs, without missing out on the valuable element of ‘live’ exchange. People are Banca Ifis’s greatest asset; their balance is our balance.

MyIfiswork

In April 2022, we entered a new organizational phase based on alternating between remote and face-to-face working. It allows employees flexibility in their choice of working hours and space to pursue their activities and is based on mutual trust and responsibility.

The following new measures have been introduced:

A new code of "Netiquette"

ideas and advice that encourage an effective approach to work, respecting the space and time of every worker.

Agile Work

All employees will be able to use smart working up to a maximum of 10 days a month.

Smartworking for parents

For parents with children up to the age of 10, there may be 12 days a month.

Smartworking programming

Employees can come to an agreement with their manager about which days they work remotely.

Smartworking for future moms

Expectant mothers are entitled to do all their work remotely from the 5th month of pregnancy onward.

Flexible times

Employees can come into the office at flexible times from 8:00-10.30 am, depending on the needs of their particular office, and can make up for fewer/extra hours worked during the week in question.

Internal contests for Ifis People

Flash Cyber News

We have created a new internal newsletter, ‘Flash Cyber News’ to help Ifis People become aware and keep up-to-date on the main Cyber Security issues. Each month, it turns the spotlight on the latest cyberattacks and the commonest cybercrime activities.

Ifis People and sport

At Banca Ifis, we promote sport with many internal activities as a vehicle for positive values and a tool to support local areas. These events involve our people and bear witness to the determination, tenacity, curiosity and team spirit that characterises the world of sport and our Bank’s commitment.

The Banca Ifis cycling team is a close-knit group that in 2022 took part in the famous Gran Fondo ‘Strade Bianche’ in Siena and ‘Il Lombardia’ in Cantù, which despite the rain, generated huge excitement.

The employees participating in the Gran Fondo’s sent a strong message of commitment and social responsibility, which, on a bicycle or in life, is expressed through respect for people, the environment and our neighbours.

All the km travelled on bikes by our ‘champions’, together with the thousands of supporting interactions from colleagues on the company intranet – like a photo, videos, news – led to a donation to the Foundation Michele Scarponi, onlus which creates and finances projects on education for correct behaviour on the road, respect for the rules and others.

The Bank organised the first Padel tournament for Ifis People, who competed in pairs in four groups. It culminated in the well-attended final, with the winners receiving their awards from Alberto Billio, assistant coach of Umana Reyer Basket.

Football-loving Ifis People participate in the annual Social Goal Tournament in Milan. The project also has a strong social impact with the proceeds going entirely to organising sports and social programmes for children in difficulty.

For the second consecutive year, Ifis People participated in the Venice Marathon, the biggest running event in the Venice lagoon area. Fifty-four colleagues from different regions of Italy participated, united and enthusiastic, in a day of sport and togetherness.
