HR Policies
At Avernus, since the first day our company was founded, we believe that our performance and growth prospects are linked to the dynamics of our people. This is why we wish to retain, inspire, and develop our most capable employees and, at the same time, attract new talent.
Our HR values, practices, and programs are intended to respond to our employee’s needs and expectations and provide a working environment where everyone can feel secure and creative. Ultimately, we want our company to be a role model for our people so that they can find motivation, meaning, and moral satisfaction in their work every day.
Equal Opportunities and Non-Discrimination Policy
For us, promoting equal opportunities and avoiding any type of discrimination are non-negotiable principles. The company ensures that no discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, physical ability, age, sexual orientation, religion, or any other criterion is accepted, designing all processes, actions, and policies related to human resources based on the principle of equal opportunities.
There is no wage discrimination between men and women. The level of remuneration is determined solely by the position requirements and the employee’s qualifications and experience.
It is worth mentioning that our company, committed to the principle of equal treatment of all employees, provides the same benefits and amenities, both to full-time and to part-time employees.
Human and Labor Rights
Respect for human rights and ensuring compliance with the fundamental freedoms and human rights are an undeniable commitment of us.
All our employees have equal opportunities regarding remuneration, development, and evolution without making any discrimination based on racial, religious, or other differences. In addition, any form of harassment or violence is expressly prohibited, while there are procedures, guidelines, and mechanisms to ensure the prevention of such phenomena within the workplace.
The integrated program of practices, benefits, and incentives that has been applied over the years is based on the analysis of the human resources key issues and concerns the absolute total of 100% of our employees. Through this program, our goal is to provide employees with a work environment where they can feel secure and creative. At the same time, we are committed to a system of values that governs our working relationships based on respect, trust, equal opportunities, and meritocracy.
It is a program that we evaluate annually with satisfaction surveys.

The core pillars of our HR program are:
Training and Development of our Employees
The educational programs focus on professional empowerment as well as the personal development of our people:
Professional development and empowerment: our goal is to identify the skills and knowledge our people need to have, the points for improvement, and to develop and empower them in order to become more effective in their role.
Personal development: we recognize that an employee’s professional progress is inextricably linked to their personal development. To this end, we make sure to design and implement training programs aiming to meet wider educational needs that are not only directly and closely related to their business objective scope. Training includes both internal and external courses from certified third party providers.
Recognition and rewards
For us, in Avernus, the concept of recognition and reward has both moral and material meaning. We give all employees opportunities to be promoted, based on their performance and contribution to the company, regardless of their current position. This ensures that all employees can contribute, to be assessed, and can expect recognition for their achievements.
Health and safety issues
- We ensure our facilities meet the necessary safety standards.
- From the very first day of work, we provide all employees with health insurance
- We monitor specific Health and Safety indicators to evaluate and continuously improve our practices. Among others, the number of working days lost is monitored, with the categorization of sick leave, maternity leave, and annual leave.
Work-Life balance
Family and Work balance between professional and personal life is essential to the welfare of our employees and is something we always take into consideration.
