MIlano, 7 Feb. (askanews) – Italy still has a long way to do in the enhancement of the merit: the last between 12 European countries, stops at a score of 27 points out of 100. Farish from Finland, leaders with 66 points, and well spaced from Spain that It is penultimate with 36. The major gaps are recorded on pillars such as freedom, rules, transparency and attractiveness for talents. To put the numbers in line Report Meritometer 2024presented during the National Day of Merit, organized by the Forum of the Meritocracy ETS in collaboration with Deloitte.
“The skills in Italy exist, our task is to enhance them. Invest in the formation of new boys. Training both in the classroom and at work. And above all, the enhancement passes to reward the merit and from a concept of meritocracy as a key factor for the growth of people and society that invests in people. In Deloitte we enhance the merit by offering a path of professional growth through a path that leads them to increasingly high professional levels “.
Listening and inclusion are Meritocracy growth factors. Italy has made progress for aspects related to equal opportunities, +3.23 points, and for the quality of the educational system, +1.4 points. But there is still a lot to do.
Maria Cristina Origlia, President of Meritocracy Forum. “The genius loci in Italy is not lacking. The problem is that we have a general system that cannot enhance people and invest through training. And to recognize the merit of those who invest in the study and commit themselves from a professional point of view. What to do? Make our country more attractive, our territorial ecosystems and our companies with policies that must be integrated and with an evolution of the governance of companies that becoming more meritocratic can become more attractive for Italians and foreigners. The point is to encourage the circularity of talents “.
The day ended with the launch of the Meritocracy forum Award 2025-2026, dedicated to organizations that will be committed to build a governance in the name of the merits.
