Caring, listening, including, and building – this is how we work. Our commitment to promoting the health and well-being of our people extends beyond our Family and workplace. This defines the meaning and purpose of our program For you, For your Loves, For the World: a set of projects, policies, and experiences designed for our people, their loved ones, and the world we live in.
With people at the heart of everything we do, we strive to shape experiences that matter –that are truly meaningful and relevant for our employees – while staying true to our culture and attuned to our business priorities. Our goal is to support our Family members in achieving a healthy work-life balance and overall well-being, through a range of services and benefits such as remote work, flexible working hours, concierge services, inclusive permits and leave, and financial assistance for caregiving.
The people at our headquarters in Italy benefit from flexible working hours, remote work options, a structured welfare program, time-saving concierge services, and a mind, body, and lifestyle program – all designed to support time management and sustainable mobility.
They also have access to a wide range of inclusive permits and leave, covering their medical checkups, personal needs, and the needs of their children and pets. Further provisions extend to people with certified disabilities who are not eligible for the standard leave entitlements provided under Italian law; those undergoing gender transition; those pursuing assisted reproduction treatment; and those navigating pregnancy loss – with 5 paid days of leave granted to mothers in case of loss in the first 5 months of gestation, and 2 paid days of leave to the co-parent.
We are committed to giving our Family members the opportunity to make time for their loved ones – ensuring equal parental status for all families, providing financial assistance, and offering extended parental leave and post-natal remote work opportunities according to local regulations.
We have several programs in place to support families and parents, including same-sex parents in civil unions. The following are a few examples of the initiatives implemented in Italy.Golden Baby Bonus and Baby Born Kit: the former is a monetary bonus given to parents following the birth, adoption, or pre-adoption fostering of a child. The latter is a unique and special gift we designed for new parents to welcome the arrival of a newborn. Both initiatives are also available in EMEA and APAC. Golden Family Leave: another way we promote shared parenting is by offering time off to both parents, with extensions and leave terms tailored according to local regulations.Golden Post-Natal Remote Working: within 12 months of a child's birth, the primary parent may resume work remotely for up to 6 continuous months, in line with business needs.
We actively encourage our Family members to make a positive impact on our communities and the environment by promoting corporate volunteering during work hours, and by offering special paid permits for projects that benefit both society and the planet.
At our corporate offices in Italy, we have introduced Give Back Permits – a corporate volunteering program offering our people up to 12 hours of paid leave each year, during working hours, to volunteer individually or collectively with local organizations on initiatives that benefit society and the environment. It is a meaningful opportunity for personal and professional growth, while strengthening bonds within the Golden Family. For longer or more sustained projects, employees may also use our special paid permits for a total of 10 business days per year. Our next step is to extend this initiative to our other Regions of operation.
