[company_age]44.0[/company_age][employees]2-10 employees[/employees][description]Il Picchio is a consortium of social cooperatives established in the 1980s in the Piceno-Aprutino area. It provides social, healthcare, educational, and business services with professionalism and seriousness in both the Marche and Abruzzo regions. As a privileged interlocutor between the public and private sectors, Il Picchio supports its affiliated cooperatives, drawing inspiration from the values of the global Catholic cooperative movement. It prioritizes constant managerial evolution and customer satisfaction. The consortium's key principles are the centrality of the individual and the family, with special attention to the most vulnerable groups in terms of welfare, human resource management, constant customer-centric design, and continuous updating. It operates in a highly competitive business environment. Its goals are oriented towards the common good and collective interest, which is why its projects are carried out by motivated, trained, and specialized personnel. Doctors, nurses, social and healthcare workers, educators, psychologists, counselors, pedagogists, and socio-cultural animators are just some of the professional figures employed in the activities where cooperatives and institutions work together flexibly to meet the needs of the end user. Finally, Il Picchio's sole purpose is not the economic advantage of the projects, but rather the social relevance of the projects themselves, keeping in mind the humanity inherent in the common work. The Economy of Community is one of the values that inspires the solidarity economy of Il Picchio, whose profits are destined to the urgent needs of people in difficulty. A relationship of trust and openness is therefore what characterizes the company as the beating heart of giving and receiving in the reciprocity of sharing.[/description][ps]Social, healthcare, educational, and business services.[/ps]
