Growing together:
a concrete ambition
Growing together means giving everyone the possibility to benefit from lifelong learning, to move up the career ladder and to move to increase his or her professional capital.
Priority to proximity
The Group's human resources policy is geared to be as close as possible to its companies...and to the demands of its employees.
The synergies between the companies and the coordination of our HR teams also makes it possible to implement joint orientations for the on-going development of competences, in particular at the level of:
- > the monitoring and support of potential talent;
- > inter-subsidiary mobility and promotions
- > relationships with schools
- > effective guidance of applications in step with needs.
Management: the culture of empowerment
Our companies are organised with short chains of command, encouraging autonomy and decision-making.
The managerial teams, promoted from their relevant operational and functional jobs, pass on their professional knowledge to the younger staff and share with them the values of the Group.
Training: a career asset
Our companies devote up to 5% of their payroll to training in order to maintain and develop the know-how and competences of their employees in all our lines of business.
The system implemented emphasises in-house training with:
- > courses resulting in qualifications and diplomas
- > continuing professional training
- > supervised integration processes
- > the development of in-house schools to provide a forum for the exchange and transmission of know-how
Back to school ... at work
« You can't learn our job overnight. So I spent three or four years with an old hand before mastering my job. Now I think I've learned all there is to know about the assembly of asphalt plants. So I applied for an in-company training course to become an after-sales service technician. Three times a week I follow courses in electrical engineering, automation and pneumatics. The rest of the time I'm working in the company where I apply what I've learned in testing machines. In six months' time, I'll pack my bags and go off to handle repairs for our customers all over France. »
Bertrand, after-sales service technician in training with Ermont.
Mobility: open opportunities
We want to offer real career opportunities within the Group. We have therefore created genuine bridges between our various subsidiaries to provide our employees with a real choice of mobility to open up, together, the road to professional development.
Mobility is not always geographical. It may mean changing your job or your position but in any case change, with FAYAT, goes with promotion. To enhance career opportunities, the Group also offers the possibility of gaining new experience on the international scene, in particular in Europe, Asia and North America.
Expanding experience
« To be honest, when you graduate from an engineering school, you're not immediately operational. As from my first month, I was sent out into the field and plunged into the real life of a job-site - managing people, safety, the quality process...There's nothing to beat going from theory to practice! I then joined the Tourcoing office to work on calls for tender and the costing of plant extensions. That enabled me to learn how to cost and prepare work. It's by taking on an increasing level of responsibility that you learn to be self-sufficient and that's a very good thing.»
