Bucking the market trend, Furla has signed an agreement to increase employee variable earnings.
Furla is expanding and the company had decided to reward its most important resource: it's people.
The Italian handbag brand recently signed an agreement with the Filcams-Cgil trade union, committing the company to raising bonuses over the next three years: level 4 and 5 employee bonuses will rise from 3 to 5%, level 3 from 5 to 7% and 8%, and 10% bonuses were confirmed for level 2 and 1 employees, setting them at an extra month's salary.
The increased production bonuses apply not just to workers in the San Lazzaro (Bologna) headquarters, but also to employees working in Furla branches around the world.
This agreement significantly pre-empts the renewed national agreement on which negotiations have still to commence. It is also a positive break with the wider trend in a period of widespread cuts and dropping profits.
Furla has posted an increase in turnover for the past three years, equal to an overall 48% which took revenues to 228 million euro in 2013, and also a 10% boost in its workforce.
The company has been constantly growing, a trend driven in part by the international expansion and investment in R&D, but also by the focus on human resources which has triggered a virtuous cycle with a positive effect on economic performance.
"Employees are a strategic resource at Furla. The new agreement is an investment, not a cost. As we move ever deeper into a global market, we must be sure, 24/7, that we have the full support of everyone working with and managing Furla's customer relations professionally, wherever they are in the world. Everyone's efforts must be rewarded,” said Eraldo Poletto, Furla CEO.
