The role of corporate culture: the importance of personnel

Today, Luxottica's universe is composed of over 37,000 people throughout the world.
A vast structure that has succeeded in keeping alive the values and feelings typical of a community: having respect for individuals, sharing common goals, boosting development, and giving special attention to personal satisfaction and well-being.
All this, in a basically flexible and casual work environment where communication and dialog among participants are pursued and regarded as a value.
In such a context, workers and employees alike feel they belong to a global process where their contribution can be crucial, in spite of the size of the company.
In this way, a virtuous circle of common interests originates. The staff works in a friendly environment where results are seen and appreciated by everyone.
