Being a responsible employer!
Diversity, equal opportunity and giving employees a stake in our growth and performance are among the central tenets of our Manifesto. That is why, at VINCI, we are committed to building inclusive workplaces, offering opportunities for training and mobility to all our employees, and sharing the benefits of our success with them. We focus on sustainable employability as a key driver for our future development.
Developing our employees’ skills
As a group of entrepreneurs motivated by humanistic values, we firmly believe that the continuous development and enhancement of skills raise the level of the Group’s human capital and drive performance, while promoting the employability of individuals and solidifying their career paths. Taking a long-term view, our policy to anticipate and match skills and jobs with future needs is the direct reflection of these convictions. Our aim is for every employee to achieve fulfilment in their work. This may entail geographical or functional mobility, which it is our duty to prepare by coordinating all the necessary interconnections. That is why we have set out policies, but also introduced knowledge management and transfer tools.
It is essential that all our stakeholders benefit from the Group’s growth and performance in a balanced manner. Accordingly, our shareholders reap benefits in the form of dividends, our customers through the quality of our services and our employees by way of remuneration systems and collective arrangements, including profit-sharing, incentive plans as well as retirement and employee savings plans.
Maintaining social dialogue
Our commitment to social dialogue, which we have enshrined in our Manifesto, is an essential factor in the Group’s success and contributes to rallying widespread support around its collective vision. It thus contributes to the Group’s all-round – i.e. social, economic, health and safety – performance.
This commitment reaches every level in the Group, as required by its decentralised organisation. In France, these key notions are embedded in the agreement to promote social dialogue, which applies to all Group entities and to all parties involved in labour relations. At central level, the Group Works Council (covering France) is a prime channel for conversations with employee representatives about key workforce-related matters as well as the Group’s financial position, current affairs and outlook.
The European Works Council is the prime channel for information and dialogue between management and employee representatives from all European Economic Area countries where VINCI has more than 500 employees, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Its main purpose is to improve worker information and consultation.
Advancing equality of opportunity
We have a concerted and proactive policy to promote equal opportunity, aimed at eradicating all forms of discrimination, structuring inclusion and fostering diversity (across gender, age, origin, and physical, psychological and other personal traits). At every level in the Group, we work with a network of more than 600 coordinators who raise awareness and provide training on these topics in all Group companies.
We also support this policy by encouraging Group companies to secure official accreditation for their measures to enhance inclusion and diversity.
