Progressio Business Network: a cooperation model for small and medium-sized enterprises
The Progressio Business Network is a contract option stipulated between complementary companies to share their know-how, to collaborate in their respective activities and to invest in innovation promoting economic growth.
A business network strategy is:
- vertical: it has a hierarchical leadership structure that derives maximum value from personnel skills at different levels;
- associative: some services are provided in collaboration between several companies;
- compact: it is based on cohesion for jointly managed activities;
- exchange-based: it encourages people to share useful information and mutual advice on specialist topics.
The Progressio Business Network is an opportunity to establish a network of professionals from different sectors who coordinate for interdependent activities, with the aim of making small and medium-sized enterprises perform better and more competitively in the globalized market.
Objectives of the Progressio Business Network
The business network contract has common objectives that the signatory members must respect. They need to set measurable goals and work cooperatively to achieve them within an allotted time frame.
The main objectives of a Progressio Business Network are:
- rendering the logistics organization more efficient by sharing the best resources to perform a specific task;
- promoting in-house training on occupational health and safety;
- sharing know-how and methods of planning and analyzing provisional and final orders;
- coordinating control management to propose a high and uniform quality standard;
- investing in research into software useful for logistics services.
The ultimate aim of all these goals is to create a system that is simultaneously strategic and flexible, in order to achieve excellent results and optimize costs.
Progressio Business Network: a favorable legislative framework
The business network is a form of contract recognised by the Marco Biagi labor law body, which certified this contractual form’s compliance with Italian Law 33/2009 and subsequent amendments on 5 December 2018. The Progressio Business Network is legally valid in every respect: civil, fiscal, administrative and social security.
Furthermore, the implementation of the co-employment system has been established by the network companies (pursuant to Article 30, paragraph 4-ter, Italian Legislative Decree No. 276/2003). This is an extremely attractive opportunity because it allows companies in the network to make use of other employers’ workers. The payment for engaging their services is included in the network contract. In this way, the best and most competent workers will always be located where needed in periods of saturation; conversely, in times of overcapacity people will be better distributed, thereby eliminating unproductive hours.
The benefits of the Progressio Business Network
Joining a Progressio Business Network contract has multiple benefits, including:
- sharing resources;
- eliminating unproductive hours;
- optimising costs;
- sharing processes and skills;
- administrative and financial concessions for the asset profiles of network participants;
- subjective or collective legal responsibility;
The Progressio Business Network enhances the structural characteristics of each company for the benefit of all participating businesses.
