Employees on the payroll
At the end of the first half staff numbers shown in the table included 183 who had ended their employment contract on 30th June 2014 and had gained access to extraordinary benefits from the sector “Solidarity Fund” on the following 1st July, under the provisions of the Framework Agreement of 6th March 2014. Net of those staff leaving, at the end of the first half, the total workforce of the UBI Banca Group numbered 18,255 (83 fewer than as at 31st December 2013).
* At the end of the first half, BPB Immobiliare staff also included personnel appointed on seasonal contracts that were not banking industry contracts: 44 both as at 30th June 2014 and as at 30th June 2013.
The table above gives details for each company of the actual distribution of ordinary employees (workers on permanent and temporary contracts and on apprenticeship contracts) as at 30th June 2014, adjusted to take account of secondments to and from other entities within
or external to the Group (column A) compared with the position at the end of 2013 (column B) and the position as at 30th June 2013
(column C), both restated on a consistent basis. Column D, on the other hand, gives details for each company of the number of employees on the payroll as at 30th June 2014 compared with the end of 2013, also restated on a consistent basis (column E).
Compared to the previous Interim Consolidated Financial Report the figures as at 30th June 2013 have been adjusted as follows:
the figure for Banca Regionale Europea staff was increased by one in relation to a reinstatement which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2013 as a result of a court settlement;
the figure for Banca Popolare di Ancona was increased by one following a reinstatement which occurred in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of a court settlement;
Banque de Dépôts et de Gestion Sa was excluded from calculations of Group staff numbers as a consequence of the disposal of the company completed on 29th November 2013.
Compared with the figures published in the last financial report, staff numbers as at 31st December 2013 have been increased by one at
At the end of the first half of 2014, the total staff of the UBI Banca Group numbered 18,438 compared with 18,338 at the end of 2013 (restated on a consistent basis) with an overall increase in the period of 100 (two of which due to a return from secondment at companies not included in the Group consolidation of the Group).
Nevertheless from 1st July 2014, in accordance with agreements signed with trade unions on 6th March 2014, 183 staff with permanent contracts gained access to extraordinary benefits from the sector “Solidarity Fund”. If those staff leaving are considered, total staff numbers in service at the end of the first half stood at 18,255, a contraction of 83 compared with 31st December 2013 and of 171 compared with 12 months before, a continuation of the general policy to reduce staff pursued in recent years.
The change in workforce numbers recorded in the first half is attributable mainly to the following events:
the recruitment at BPB Immobiliare of 44 staff with seasonal contracts (not banking industry contracts);
the recruitment of staff on flexible contracts mainly at Banca Popolare di Bergamo and, to a marginal extent, at other network banks, consistent with the provisions of the Framework Agreement of 29th November 2012 and the subsequent memorandums of intent signed on 12th February 2013 and 10th October 2013, already mentioned in previous reports.
As shown in the table giving figures for type of contract relating to staff with employee contracts, staff on permanent contracts leaving were offset by more staff being recruited on temporary contracts.
As concerns intragroup movements, the table shows the following:
the centralisation at UBI Banca, consistent with the trade union agreement of 15th January 2014, of Prestitalia, UBI Factor and UBI Leasing governance and control activities, with the relative changes in the workforces of the companies concerned;
the growth in employees on the payroll at UBI Banca, attributable to the registration on the payroll of the Parent with effect from 1st January 2014 of 302 staff who are continuing to work at UBI Sistemi e Servizi. As a consequence, staff on secondment from UBI Banca to UBI.S at the end of the first half numbered 823 (524 at the end of 2013).
Finally, as shown in the table there were no significant changes in the composition of banking staff by rank. Employees on the payroll

Training
Training conducted in the first six months of 2014 mainly addressed the following:
the improvement of expertise in commercial roles, through training initiatives on the 2014
commercial programme, foreign trade and corporate internationalisation, inter-channel banking and payment cards;
the improvement of managerial and behavioural skills, by means of remote training delivered
to all employees on subjects relating to communication and professional assessment and, with regard to the “Human Resources Quality” project, classroom training focusing on awareness of the managerial model and the new performance management. Also a training course to support the career growth of 41 young talents in the Group for the target role of Area Director.
As always training initiatives were carried forward to qualify and update staff who conduct in- house training.
As concerns the university masters courses for Group talents, the “Masters in the Management of Banking Companies” organised in co-operation with the MIP at Milan Polytechnic came to an end and the “Masters in Management, Banking, Context and Tendencies” commenced in co-operation with Bergamo University. Also the Masters in “Corporate Finance and the Creation of Wealth” continued in co-operation with Turin University.
From a quantitative
viewpoint, 35.2
thousand training days were delivered in the first half, compared with a target of 80.3 thousand person days set for the whole of 2014.
In addition to the continuation of the projects mentioned above, new initiatives in the following areas are planned for the second half of the year:
credit quality monitoring, by means of specialist training on new systems, processes and
procedures to support the development of credit quality monitoring activity and tools to manage companies in crisis;
improvement of distribution network staff skills, through action in both behavioural areas
and targeted at specialist knowledge for small business account managers, affluent account managers, customer contacts (Mass market team) and roles in the “Private Banking Market & Corporate Unity” division.
A new training platform (web 2.0) was introduced at the beginning of August as part of the
“Human Resources Quality” project, which will allow a simpler and more immediate and
effective approach to training. At the same time the new tool, “Social Learning” will be rolled out for the sharing and development of knowledge through the use of social tools (blogs, forums, wikis and material for further study that is always available). Essentially this is a new “virtual meeting place” where experiences, knowledge and virtuous behaviours can be discussed and shared.
