Rai, Piano transparency and debate on salaries. Maggioni: “Series B Executives do not guarantee quality” – The Republic

“Transparency is a friend of expertise and innovation sister”. The director general of RAI, Antonio Campo Dall’Orto, so announced the “Plan for transparency and corporate communications” that will take tomorrow in the board of directors, along with the director Monica Maggioni, and that will result in the publication on the website of Rai of all information held by the company and the activity of a series of data and documents including the remuneration of managers, greater than 200,000 Euros, those of consultants and non-artistic collaborations, over 80 thousand euro, together with the procurement, budgets and investments.

“There it imposes a State law (the law of the Rai 220/2015 reform, ed ) – explains the general director of RAI – but transparency, in a moment of discontinuity, inevitably leads to innovation, ie to something we want to do. a turning point that is born from a fruitful relationship with politics that asks us to change, and we want to do it. Tomorrow will be just the beginning of a path that will lead us to make public on the site all we can. Meanwhile, as of tomorrow we will go beyond the legal obligations and will publish both the salary of the previous year and those of 2016. “From tomorrow afternoon, after the conclusion of the board, they will therefore also be published online the annual fees provided for its 2016 contracts . “We want that Rai becomes a ‘glass house’,” said Campo Dall’Orto, during the press conference that was held at Mazzin avenue seventh floor.

Remark President Rai Monica Maggioni: “We are the first major Italian company that chooses transparency with respect to internal processes and compensation. There has asked the legislature but there is also the fact that being public service must be transparent. We become of key elements – Maggioni continues – and it is the position of a company that believes that this is a value to citizens who pay the fee in the bill and that they have a right to know what happens in Rai. Only the BBC in the European scene has the same our attitude. “The President emphasized the importance of the publication of the curriculum of leaders Rai” that tell the story of the people. A new path. “On the reactions of those who tomorrow will be published on the website salaries and curriculum, explains that” were the most different, because in recent years the Rai access paths were much more controlled and these people are very happy to tell. “

as for higher wages, which certainly will create resentment in those who read them tomorrow, Dall’Orto Campo said he was “serene”: “the positions apical Rai receive on average 15% less compared to similar companies. This was revealed by an analysis conducted by Korn Ferry – Hay Group (a leading managers in the selection and management consultancy, ed ) “.” Being public service – says Maggioni – does not mean having executives series B. certainly tomorrow we will read payments of a certain order of magnitude concerning people who make huge work and great responsibility. It is one thing to say ‘there must be no waste’, different however is to assert that the public service should have salaries that are half of the other. “

From an internal investigation in Viale Mazzini, also shows that the remuneration of executives Rai now costs 5.5% less than in 2012 and also on journalistic leadership the company saves 6.4% compared to 2012. the reform law which requires disclosure of salaries of managers, exception the cachet of the artists. “the rule holds off the artists not to make them a discount – explains Field Dall’Orto – but because the RAI operates in a competitive market. Even in England, where there is a debate of this nature and where they arrived to well before Italy transparency, the artists are kept out. Are sensitive information, because we in Rai we pay them less than our competitors. “

Dall’Orto range also addresses the issue of temporary workers for whom, he says,” there is a plan that covers a thousand of them by 2019. “as for the ‘parked’ managers, whose salaries will be published tomorrow,” it is a theme that will emerge, and we aim to clear them. Not firing them, of course, but make use of their skills within the company. Something that will be a little harder for journalistic leadership. But we work so that there are fewer and fewer of these cases. “On disputes Rai, Dall’Orto Field explains that” are many “but is” working with the personnel department to reduce them. Disputes are related to the past and we do not have the latest. Now the paths are transparent with competitions, rankings and assumptions. “Even indefinitely because,” there is an element of corporate value that serve to permanent contracts. Unlike the case of the publishing industry, where instead serves more the given time, “he explains dg revealing that” the key people on my staff all have permanent contracts. “The use of external, finally,” a company like Rai is the center of gravity within itself. If sometimes you do some grafting is because it serves. We have added a few units, mostly with fixed-term contract – ends – giving the company value and allowing replacement without

excessive costs. “
