Welcome and integration into the company
A personalized welcome on the first day allows our new employees to quickly find their way in their professional environment.
They benefit from an individualized integration program during the first few weeks, allowing them to meet their colleagues and identify their interfaces. They also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in certain departments in order to better understand the company’s various business lines.
A training booklet, given to employees upon their arrival, gives them a clear idea of job training phases. They are accompanied by a dedicated mentor, and, during the first few months, they attend various training courses designed to help them assimilate the company culture.

Collaborative tools enable a constant link with the personnel of our international subsidiaries, who are also come to our site in France for specific seminars.
The management policy is associated with strong human values, such as team spirit, conviviality, respect, tolerance, quality of life at work, and professional fulfillment, all of which are promoted by everyone on a daily basis.
