Carovita: ‘Antico Vinaio’ offers a 600-euro bonus to its staff

To combat rising prices, “All’Antico Vinaio” will be paying its employees a bonus of 600 euros, as announced on social media by CEO Tommaso Mazzanti. The amount will be paid in three instalments of 200 euros each in October, November and December, in the form of vouchers for petrol, supermarket shopping, transport and Christmas shopping.

“There’s so much talk about the high cost of living and rising prices, so I asked myself: what can I do to provide real, practical help to all my staff?”, says Mazzanti. The aim is to offer tangible support to staff at a time when the cost of living continues to put a strain on household budgets.

The contribution will be provided through corporate welfare schemes that will enable employees to purchase vouchers for a range of purposes; this measure is designed to give each employee the freedom to use the benefit according to their own needs, whether day-to-day or personal. “As announced last year, we have already introduced a welfare scheme worth up to 3,000 euros for every single employee in Italia,” recalls Mazzanti, referring to the company’s previous commitment to the wellbeing of its staff. “But beyond that, I wanted to do more; I really wanted them to feel supported,” concludes Mazzanti. “I said to myself: ‘Tommaso, you have to do your bit here.’ And so the decision was made to introduce the new €600 welfare credit for staff.”
