As always, Barilla relies upon the excellence of the People who work at each level of the organization. We believe that only through a continuous improvement of the professional approach, behaviors and appreciation of individual diversities, it is possible to obtain the customer's trusts and satisfaction as well as the worldwide success of our business.

Because of that, Barilla wants to attract and develop, in each country of the world where it operates, dynamic People who are motivated to constantly grow, are goal oriented, and are leaders capable to develop creative and innovative ideas as well as creating new opportunities for action. People who are strongly involved with food products and who believe in the importance of working together in order to reach a common objective in a proactive organization based upon interdependence and reciprocal trust.

The professional route foresees the progressive development of the specific areas needed for growth in each of the company's various areas, encouraging the interfuctionality and international experiences, thanks to the ever-increasing expansion of the Group. People's growth is constantly monitored through moments of sharing the functional skills and acquired behavior. This exchange is useful to improve the results obtained and to plan future developmental projects that aim to support the People when they take upon higher responsibilities.

For the newly hired people, a Company path of knowledge has been designed, which pays particular attention to the processes and the main functions that interact with one's area of pertinence. The training period includes: the learning of necessary skills, the follow-up of professional development both nationally and internationally through on-the-job training, and the management and functional training plan defined for meeting the different kinds of requirements of each company's areas.
