Work, for those approaching the October junction. After a disastrous first quarter, with the closure of 9,000 more companies due to the coronavirus, another turning point is approaching for Italian companies.
In the next month of October, the stability of the Italian system will be tested again after the summer break. According to the Confcommercio research office, 270,000 Italian companies are in danger of definitive closure these days. The alarm does not concern all sectors: while construction and agriculture are preparing to launch 310,000 hires. But wood and furniture, tourism, fashion, finance, consultancy and commerce are on their knees. 49% to 65% of businesses in these sectors will not be able to recover pre-Covid turnover levels before June 2021. Where should you go to look for work? And how, in person or from home? Here is a guide with the support of the Stock Exchange Projection Studies Office.
What happens in the private sector
While those who received the citizenship income got concrete help, those who are currently doing business gasps. Due to the freeze on layoffs and the guaranteed loan formula that does not yet exist, it is heading towards its definitive decline. On the subject of work, the October turning point is approaching: second Unioncamere within 5 years, 3 million new hires will be needed. But currently on the table of the Ministry of Labour there are 150 disputes involving 160,000 employees in companies of all sizes. Those who resist by keeping their doors open have used the redundancy fund at 81% compared to a year ago and go on.
Work, for those approaching the October junction
Pending the aid promised by the Recovery Fund, companies turn off the taps where they can. There are thousands of proposals for early retirement, especially where in the future more suitable staff will be needed for teleworking. While the decline in hiring reached 600,000 units. In the management sector, a flurry of layoffs is also expected between now and December. And a sensitive scissor cut to the remuneration of those who remain. The sectors where there will be greater demand in the short future are those of food and construction. Therefore, agricultural workers, specialized workers, employees with HCCP qualifications and qualified maintenance technicians are needed, those to work on electrical, heating and cooling systems are in great demand.
The news in the public administration
In the meantime, from next September 15, public employees will return to work face to face in the workplace. And not only within the limits of non-postponable activities. Agile work is becoming a structural element in the organization of the Public Administration. Which established that every year, by January 31st, an Organizational Plan for Agile Work (POLA) must be drawn up. It must indicate the activities to be carried out, the organizational measures including the technological requirements, the training courses to be created and the verification of the results. Where Pola is not applied, agile work can be applied on request to 30% of employees.
Employees who, in the meantime, obtained suitable certifications in the IT field, would therefore have an advantage in internal paths. For now it is clear that the reduced attendance return to the offices will lead to queues of the public in some sectors, even if the appointments will be by reservation. And the node of access, remotely, to the Sicid platform and to the most sensitive files in the justice sector is still unresolved.
