Tack TMI Italy Wins First Place at Excellence in Training Award 2024

We are delighted to announce that we have won the prestigious award Premio Eccellenza Formazione (PEF) from the Associazione Italiana Formatori (AIF) with ALL IN, a training project aimed at promoting social and employment inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities and creating a welcoming corporate community for those with vulnerabilities.

The initiative was realized by Tack TMI Italy in partnership with Fondazione Più di un Sogno VALEMOUR and Fondazione Gi Group for Inditex Italy, involving a close and continuous collaboration between the business and non-profit sectors.

The ALL IN Training Path

The project is structured into two main phases to facilitate the integration of new resources into the brand’s stores:

First Phase: Implementing the work inclusion model, mapping in-store competencies, recruiting and training local associations on the application of the ALL IN model, and effective communication between the business and non-profit sectors.
Second Phase: Developing a training program for the store’s internal resources. Store managers and salespeople participate in a 3-hour online workshop, co-taught by a behavioral instructor and a technical expert in disabilities. This workshop provides practical insights into disabilities and their potential impact in the store, helping to uncover and dismantle cognitive biases that hinder full integration. Through role-playing based on real cases, learners are guided in identifying functional and inclusive behaviors, overcoming the misconception of a possible reduction in store profitability.

Store managers and deputy managers also participate in four virtual team coaching sessions, two led by a behavioral coach and the other two by a disability expert. During the training, coaches delve into the scope of their roles and responsibilities, address issues that arise during integration, and identify personalized solutions to facilitate cooperation in the store.

Finally, the project includes a monitoring phase with periodic interviews with store managers, regional HR, and associations to ensure the continuous employment of new hires.

The project framework is transferable, in part or wholly, to other companies with the same sensitivity towards inclusion and the need to comply with regulatory requirements.

Project Results

To date, 23 training internships have been activated, with an additional 25 planned for 2024. We have trained 1,058 people (of various ages, educational backgrounds, and organizational roles) through 73 workshop sessions and initiated 30 coaching programs.

We strongly believe in the project and its implementation. Winning this award with "ALL IN" is an honor and a confirmation of our ongoing commitment to helping companies make the most of their people, thereby contributing to building an inclusive and sustainable work environment.
