GUARANTEEING WELL-BEING AT THE WORKPLACE, GENDER EQUALITY AND NON-DISCRIMINATION
The Rémy Cointreau men and women are at the heart of the company's value creation. Their cohesion and diversity, their expertise and their desire to make progress, are their main strengths. Nourishing a deeply multicultural identity, fostering diversity while enhancing the sense of belonging, improving employee commitment while remaining attentive to their needs: these efforts are reflected daily in terms of recruitment, training, work organisation and internal communication.
Upon recruitment, each employee embarks on a process of individual and collective progress. In so doing, the Group supports its employees at all steps of their career through a proactive policy in terms of internal training and work organisation.
Supporting employees in the long term
Rémy Cointreau's multicultural dimension is a major asset in its international development and helps to disseminate the Group's values and commitments to a community driven by a shared vision. Rémy Cointreau draws on its various locations and the diversity of individual backgrounds to enhance the collective savoir-faire of its talent.
To procure and consolidate a sense of belonging and foster the understanding of its different businesses, the Group pays special attention to the training of its 1,800 employees to help them become actors in the transformation of their working environment. Internal training sessions specially tailored to the diversity of the Group’s businesses have been set up: the Brand Academy to better understand the brands, the Art of selling Academy for sales aspects, the Finance Academy to learn about finance, and the Quality Academy on products and their presentation. Two new academies will soon follow: the Digital Academy and theManagement Academy.
To foster direct skills transfers and strengthen relations between employees working in different businesses or at different sites, the House of Rémy Martin offers an immersive discovery programme to employees working at the Cognac sites through Vis mon job (Live my job).
These one-day courses enable employees to observe one of their colleagues in order to understand their business and adapt their behaviour towards each other by fostering an understanding of the Group’s different businesses.
This annual initiative also makes it possible sometimes to identify and support people who express a desire for internal redeployment.
The well-being and fulfilment of each employee are vital to collective success. Supporting employees also means taking care of their health and ensuring their daily well-being. This year in France, theGroup has implemented a health check, offered to all co-workers once or twice a year. Thanks to this full medical check-up, entirely covered by the Group, employees can assess their physical health and thereby better counter health risks. In Cognac, since 2015, a seated massage service is offered to Rémy Martin employees. This moment of relaxation reduces the physical and emotional stress felt by employees.
