Welcoming and retention of disabled persons

"When a group successfully recruits disabled people, the whole Group benefits and grows!"

 

The current commitment in favour of employment and retention of disabled employees, is part a pro-active policy started in the 90’s and followed by the "Managing Disability team" specifically dedicated to fulfil this ethical commitment.

We maintain that disability is not a handicap when it comes to employment. Our goal is to enable all employees to work in an ambiance of equality, and with the guarantee of an identical professional quality of life for all.

Job vacancies are available at every level of qualification and hierarchy, throughout the company structure. Skills are the key to any recruitment. If a person has the skills, the motivation and the aptitude, nothing should stop him/her from having the same level of opportunity as any other job applicant.

The Group is committed in four main areas:

• Retaining employees who become disabled, when possible
• Recruiting and /or training of jobseekers with disabilities
• Subcontracting work to sheltered work places
• Raising the awareness of colleagues continuously

Our willingness

• To continue the program in France
