Italian companies are struggling to secure workers
After the covid-19 pandemic, Renner Italy experienced increasing difficulties in recruiting people within the production departments.
The problem is widespread
Confindustria in August 2024 analysed that 58,9% of Italian companies have difficulties in recruiting for manual jobs.
Working at
Renner
Renner Italia has always instituted 14 monthly payments in the face of a national contract covering 13.
Each year, all employees receive a bonus of approximately EUR 1700 and EUR 700 in welfare.
Seizing on the difficulty resulting from inflation, the company has decided on surcharges of EUR 200 for those who voluntarily go to work on Saturdays.
Moreover, Renner was among the first in Italy to launch the short week, obviously with the same salary and holiday pay.
Yet, the company has difficulty in securing workers.
What's
Renner's
new
housing
welfare
To ensure continued business production with motivated and reliable workers, Renner Italia has launched an innovative housing welfare project.
Four key points of the project aimed especially at young refugees:
1. Selection process
2. Training path
3. Permanent contract
4. Housing for young refugees
The project is in synergy with the Opera
Salesiana of Castel De Britti.
Goals
of Renner's
new
housing
welfare
Demand and supply of employment.
On the one hand, migrants seeking a better life based on work.
On the other, manufacturing, which in recent years is finding it increasingly difficult to secure manpower
Selection process
The selection of participants is entrusted to Opera Salesiana and will become Renner Italia’s structural recruitment method.
Selection is one of the main issues on which we will invest time and resources.
The target audience will preferably be between the ages of 18 and 28.
Training path
- Workplace safety
- Technical skills of managing and using Renner Italia equipment
- Basics of coatings chemistry
- Digital skills
- Soft skills
During the course, participants will not only learn the required technical skills, but also immerse themselves in the business reality of Renner Italia.
Permanent contract
Duration of internship: 8 weeks under the supervision of company mentors
Housing problems in Bologna
Bologna tops the list of European cities with the largest increase in rents in a single year: +20.2% over 2023 for renting a room.
An economic burden impossible for new hires, especially migrants, to bear.
Housing agreement
Young guests will sign a Housing Agreement for transition to autonomy.
- The fee is sustainable and increasing (150 euros the first year, 170 the second, 200 the third).
- Renner Italia agrees to donate the rent it receives from the beneficiaries to Opera Salesiana.
- The agreement has a duration of 3 years
- At the end of the 3 years, Renner Italia reserves the right to grant an extension for a maximum of an additional 6 months and no more, in agreement with the beneficiary
Housing for young refugees
To make it possible for new recruits to join the company, 9 beds were created at a property owned by Renner Italia.
The goal is to support and empower these workers and to grant the same possibility to numerous other migrants.

A win-win integration model
Renner Italia’s housing welfare project consolidates corporate CSR with innovative and ambitious ideas in the area of integration.
A win-win model
- The company that secures continuity through the workforce
- The young immigrants who can integrate into the community and working population
- The territory that is not forced to bear the social costs

NEW
DAWN
for the housing welfare project
of Renner Italia
A
new
dawn
It’s the title of the latest Laika’s work, a 150-square-meter monumental mural on the wall of Renner Italia plant.
The work depicts a man and a woman at sea, wearing life jackets, while behind them the sun rises, a symbol of a dawn of hope
Above, are heartbreaking lines from Moroccan poet Tahar Ben Jelloun’s poem “At dawn the pain is exhausted”
At dawn the pain is exhausted
The body abandons itself on the damp earth.
Slowly from the wound the sun rises
While the night has already taken off on a lifeboat of fortune….
