About Us
UniCredit’s HR Mission is our Foundation
Our HR Mission: Attract, Develop and Retain talents by creating an environment where people can express their full potential.
Rino Piazzolla
Based on this mission, we in UniManagement want to offer “the best possible learning environment” for our participants. Since the opening of the center, we have already welcomed more than 13.000 participants spending more than 29.000 learning days with us. UniManagement’s operations have provided support to all UniCredit's divisions and competence lines as well as to several of the Group's customers.
Our Architecture stimulates the Senses
The sensory stimulation theory tells us that effective learning occurs when the senses are stimulated. The vast majority of knowledge held by adults is learned through seeing. By stimulating the senses, especially the visual sense, learning can be enhanced. If multi-senses are stimulated, learning can be even greater. Stimulation through the senses is achieved through a greater variety of colours, volume levels, strong statements, facts presented visually, use of a variety of techniques and media. The architecture of the UniManagement center follows this theory and you can experience it in each room of our premises. 
Our Team and Role
UniManagement’s Team is composed by professionals with different professional backgrounds: eg. HR and Leadership Development, Retail Banking, Investment Banking, Consultancy. And also represents UniCredit’s international exposure: eg. Italy, Germany, Poland, Hungary.
Our role as UniManagement staff follows the principle of facilitative learning: Learning will occur by establishing an environment and atmosphere in which learners feel comfortable to consider new ideas and are not threatened by external factors. We as UniManagement staff consider ourselves as learning and leadership development facilitators and not as management trainers.
