Ampli Academy

Ampli Academy is the platform comprising the development and training offer designed for all Amplifon's staff and clustered on the specific needs of each Country and function. With the introduction of a “Learning Experience” platform, the offerings have been enriched to over 20,000 courses and pathways, accessible by all employees. The aim is to develop two distinct areas of competencies: the first one is more focused on functional pathways, or rather functional skills, while the second one is focused on behavioral & leadership competencies, to develop soft skills.

Talent attraction strategies

A desire to work in a dynamic international environment and a keen interest in innovation are essential qualities that we look for in the talent we want to attract. To pull key talents we leverage a unique and innovative Employer Branding strategy, supported by a global careers website and targeted social media activities.

We encourage regular meetings between employees and their managers, to ensure anytime & continuous feedback capable of supporting the right orientation and recognition. This way, we allow everyone to evaluate their performance with transparent criteria related to the achievement of the objectives and the continuous improvement of their skills.

Stock grant

Our “Stock Grant Plan 2023-2028” incentive system aims at aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders and rewarding human capital. It foresees Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) beneficiaries, i.e. managers who hold key Group positions, Amplifon Extraordinary Award Plan (AEA) beneficiaries, i.e. employees who are selected and identified from year to year according to criteria based on retention, promotability and extraordinary recognition.

Assessment

to foster results

Through the Performance Development Review (PDR) process, we measure the achievement of targets and monitor the development of skills, also supported by training sessions related to the Leadership Model. At Group level, approximately 88.8% of employees received a performance review in 2024, with the exception of those employees who cannot be included in the process due to special circumstances.
