CNH Industrial has developed a program of mentoring to enhance women’s professional development in Italy.

As part of its commitment to foster the development of its female professionals, CNH Industrial invested in a Women’s Mentoring program in Italy. The program aims at boosting professional growth by creating inter-functional synergies, inspiring a culture of giving back, and promoting a sense of personal and professional commitment.

The 9-month program, which involved 24 female professionals, utilized a staged approach, featuring a tailored program of coaching and training, together with specific tools. It was also designed to enable both mentors and mentees to tailor learning paths based on individual needs and  backgrounds.

During the program, participants engaged in face-to-face meetings, each conducted by a coach, giving mentees the opportunity to share their feelings, doubts, and takeaways from the experience. The initiative also contributed to enhanced networking opportunities. All participants recognized the program’s value in improving managerial, assertiveness, and listening skills, as well as in creating an increased awareness of how to achieve personal and professional growth, and pursue a preferred career path.
