TIM, the Italian mobile, fixed telephony and internet services group (formerly Telecom Italia) has secured agreement with the trade unions in plans for a fresh series of voluntary early retirement departures that in 2023 will impact some 2,000 staff out of the currently approximately 40,000 employees in Italy. The plan includes more attractive departure conditions for female staff as partial compensation for their interrupted career history profiles. The group also intends to take advantage of it generational renewal thrust to promote gender parity by increasing the proportion of female employees, particularly in scientific and technical positions.
Signed on 21 March by TIM and the SLC-Cgil, Fistel-Cisl, Uilcom and UGL Telecomunicazioni trade union bodies, the agreement provides for 2,000 voluntary early retirement departures by 30 November 2023. These will occur via the ‘isopensione’ mechanism that allows workers to receive a monthly allowance until they attain official full pension entitlements, and for up to a maximum of 7 years.
