Compensation, welfare and benefit - Our history and our future are built on the value of our people. Prometeia’s biggest investment is in our people, and it concerns every aspect of professional life. We call it “Total Compensation,” and it is made of three elements: Compensation, consisting of a fixed and a variable component, a Welfare Plan active since 2015 – we were among the first companies in Italy to introduce it – and Benefits, including all initiatives for the well‑being of our people.
Remote Working
Flexibility is an intrinsic value of our approach to work. In Prometeia, remote work is an organizational model grounded in trust. It delivers benefits for work‑life balance, environmental impact, and improved company results through the autonomy and empowerment of people.
People Program
Our evaluation system is based on the full enhancement of our people and on continuous dialogue as a stimulus for regular, mutual professional and personal growth. Within the projects, several moments are dedicated to transparent discussions between managers and team members. This enables reciprocal, prompt feedback. The process is fully digitized and designed to continuously drive the strategic growth of both the individual and the company.

Prometeia means continuous training. We provide an average of 11 days of training per year to our people, in person and online. We pay specific attention to younger colleagues, the protagonists of dedicated growth programs, and to the continuous sharing and internal transfer of know‑how and skills. On‑the‑job training is also important and is made of immediate and direct confrontation with the market.
