Placing people at the heart of our collective performance
Designed as part of a co-construction approach, our People Strategy aims to develop the potential and commitment of our employees, in order to ensure our collective performance and strengthen our position as a leader in sustainable finance. To this end, it focuses on three themes, mirrors of the GTS 2025 plan: employee experience; human capital; ethics and inclusion, with the first projects delivered in 2022.
In terms of employee experience, 2022 saw the continuation of the evolution of working methods within the Group, with the increase in momentum for Smart Working. To facilitate the personal procedures of our teams, we are deploying My HR, a dedicated space for HR applications and tools. 2023 will also see the deployment of the We Care offer, covering employee health and well-being. Finally, to promote and drive a profound cultural change, the programme Agile@Scale is being distributed in all our entities. The HR function supports this dynamic of change, while making its own transformation towards greater agility.
With regard to human capital, a major achievement was the launch, in October 2022, of the Sustainability Academy, whose mission is to train and inform employees in all our business lines and all our regions about the environmental and social challenges of sustainable finance. In addition, the Group’s HR tools have been adapted to improve employee career paths and skills management.
With regard to ethics and inclusion, in 2022 we up-dated our governance focusing on respect for people. To raise all employees’ awareness of the adoption of respectful behaviour, the Conduct Journey, which is mandatory for all employees, has been enriched with a “Diversity, equality and inclusion” module.
“After a year in 2021 devoted to defining the People Strategy, the entire HR function was mobilised in 2022, with the first projects already delivered. We are now accelerating all projects. Our People Strategy will be a success if its results are perceived by all teams. We also continue to increase our diversity and inclusion initiatives for the benefit of all our employees.”
