  "account": "The certification of businesses implementing policies for reconciling family life and work has commenced, following the recent practice Uni/Pdr 192:2026. This certification, which will be granted by accredited bodies, is expected to result in a 1% contribution reduction for participating companies, amounting to up to 50,000 euros annually or a maximum of 150,000 euros over a three-year period. The accredited bodies will be designated during an accreditation committee deliberation at Accredia, an Italian entity responsible for accreditations. Companies implementing or planning to implement measures for flexible working hours, parental leave, or caregiver-friendly work environments may be certified and thus benefit from this contribution reduction. The certification process will commence with the first accredited bodies being officially designated today. Companies achieving certification by June 28, 2026, the effective date of law 112/2026, will be eligible for the contribution reduction starting then. The new practice emerged as a continuation of Uni/Pdr 125:2022, which focused on gender equality. Among the 28 performance indicators (KPIs) for the new certification, new and more specific indicators have been introduced, such as the percentage of male employees taking paternity and parental leave, as well as the promotion of flexible working hours, including remote work and part-time options for caregivers. Companies must establish an internal working group and designate a responsible individual to oversee the adoption and continuous application of the reconciliation policy. The new certification is expected to encourage the development of more specialized employee welfare services, currently representing only 1% of total employee spending on welfare platforms. Businesses interested in certification can apply for public assistance through a 7.5 million euro funding initiative, managed by Unioncamere and targeting SMEs, including 60% for micro-enterprises, to support them in obtaining the certification.",
