The numbers speak for themselves: more than 11,000 A2A’s employees have decided to become shareholders, representing more than 85% of A2A’s workforce. With €72 million in annual welfare investment making national headlines, A2A has clearly struck something remarkable.
Setting the Standard, Not Following It
While Italian companies rush to launch broad-based share plans, A2A's "Life Sharing" program isn't following trends—it's setting them. This three-year initiative transforms employees into genuine stakeholders, offering regular share allocations and additional investment opportunities within a comprehensive welfare framework.
The program goes beyond financial benefits. It includes educational components to help employees understand their shareholdings and builds authentic engagement through ownership. In uncertain economic times, A2A's plans sends a clear message: taking care of people means taking care of the company.
Optio's Proud Partnership
We've been honored to support A2A from day one of this transformative journey:
- Launch and Administration: Our teams ensured smooth rollout and ongoing plan management
- Employee Platform: Through our technology, A2A employees can easily navigate their shareholdings and understand their value
Watching 11,000+ employees embrace share ownership has been inspiring. It demonstrates both A2A's vision and their workforce's confidence in the company's future.
A Blueprint for Italy's Future
A2A's welfare plan works because it creates genuine shared value. The 85% participation rate isn't just impressive—it's proof that when companies invest meaningfully in their people, everyone wins.
At Optio, we couldn't be more proud of our partnership with A2A and the incredible success they've achieved. This remarkable program sets an example we hope many other Italian companies will follow.
This is just the beginning of what promises to be a new era of employee ownership and engagement across Italy. For more information, kindly reach out to contact@optioincentives.com
