Procter and Gamble will also invest ten billion dollars in female entrepreneurship. “” When the pandemic emergency broke out, we immediately collaborated on the health level and also for the delivery of life-saving food and medicine. President Draghi acknowledged the commitment of the Red Cross and we are proud of this and we thank our volunteers. However, the pandemic emergency was followed by a social emergency with 300,000 jobs burned; so we decided to study the phenomena to plan aid and the portal ‘For people’ was born in the Red Cross, with which we collect the data of the territory to analyze a more targeted analysis and create the necessary help “.

We have thus created the ‘Lisa’ e-recruitment platform which facilitates matching opportunities between job demand and supply “.” On the one hand – he underlines – there are the beneficiaries of the Lisa project who, with the support of the principals of the Italian Red Cross, will be able to create their own curricula vitae online with the skills, interests and knowledge. On the other hand, companies and employers who will have the opportunity to search for qualified personnel and view personal profiles. The platform will also allow the communication of training events, webinars and seminars that can be used by all interested users through a simple registration “.” We are part of the Aula 162 project to promote better and sustainable work. For us, job sustainability means finding employment in line with our skills, intervening with training and bridging the existing gaps “, said Alfonso Santaniello, regional director of Manpower speaking at #FestivalFuturo 2021.” Right now – he explains – 85% of companies have difficulty in recruiting talents within the labor market and this is due to the fact that the digital and soft skills that are required “.” To combat violence against women – he remembers – we have launched a path of professional training that will lead them to reintegration into the world of work and to economic autonomy “.” Altroconsumo will play its part alongside the new collaboration, launched today, between the Next Association, Procter and Gamble, the Italian Red Cross and Manpower for labor integration of women victims of violence “.
