We are committed to attracting, retaining and promote women into management positions, aware of their under-representation in the digital sector.

Each newcomer is assigned a mentor during his or her first few weeks, and benefits from a comprehensive induction program involving all departments, for a global view of our activities and processes. Skills development To help our employees grow, we regularly organize workshops to encourage the sharing of experience between our teams. What’s more, during annual appraisals, we work with each employee to identify their external training needs to enhance their skills. Career development Our employees’ careers are monitored through regular interviews. This approach enables us to develop their talents, support them and challenge them to achieve their career goals. We firmly believe that communication is the key to successful and fulfilling career development. Working conditions We attach great importance to providing optimal conditions for our employees. Working groups meet to define the necessary investments in premises, living spaces and equipment to ensure an environment conducive to productivity and well-being. We also take care to maintain a balance between work and private life, encouraging the right to disconnect and respecting working hours. Professional development We place our employees’ professional fulfillment at the heart of our concerns. To guide each employee in his or her professional reflections and help him or her to become a player in his or her own personal development, we have implemented an approach based on “job crafting”, which can be defined as the art of shaping one’s work to find more meaning in it. This iterative, long-term approach aims to strengthen the commitment and fulfillment of each and every one of our members.

What’s more, our commitment is demonstrated by concrete actions involving our teams, such as clothing and school supplies collections in partnership with Emmaüs Défi, which promotes professional reintegration.
