Flexibility is an intrinsic value of the way we work. At Prometeia, smart working is an organizational method based on trust, which results in benefits in terms of work/life balance, impact on the environment and optimization of company results, through autonomy and empowerment of people.

Our evaluation system is based on the full enhancement of people and their continuous dialogue as a stimulus for regular, mutual professional and personal growth.

The process is fully digitalized and aimed at continuously improving the development trajectory of the individual and the company.

Prometeia means ongoing training. We provide an average of 11 days of training per year to our people, in person and online. Particular attention is paid to younger colleagues, who are 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, through immediate and direct confrontation with the market.
