SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Training gives careers
a new lease of life
benefit from training.
Since training fuels the development of skills and professional
advancement, Groupe SEB aims to help employees at all levels
Since 2008, 1,200 of the least qualified employees in France have benefited
from training, with the aim of improving their employability. Once they have
Social
taken refresher courses in writing, reading and IT skills, they can then undertake
training resulting in qualifications and certificates. Groupe SEB also
encourages its non-graduate employees to commit to projects for validating
experienced gained, either on an individual or group level. The Group is also
working on developing employability for jobs that go beyond its direct
workforce. In 2012, 121 temporary staff in Mayenne, France, were prepared
for industrial positions.
The Groupe SEB University updates and develops the strategic skills of Group
employees. It helps strengthen the management community by encouraging
the passing on of expertise and good practices. The Groupe SEB University
trained more than 1,200 managers in 2012. Some new programmes have
been set up, such as the Innovation and Marketing School, with content that
has been developed and deployed 100% internally. This has already enabled
70 new recruits to learn the basics of innovation. Other highlights of 2012
include the introduction of the Purchasing Campus; inter-company Supply
Chain training; continuous improvement seminars within the framework of the
project for optimising industrial performance (OPS) etc.
An acclaimed employability policy
In June 2012, Groupe SEB was awarded a "Human Capital
Trophy" for its employability policy, which ensures a good balance between its
human capital and the major technological progress it makes. The Group's
overall social policy was also recognised by the special jury prize. This Trophy,
organised by French newspaper “Le Monde” and recruitment consultants
Michael Page International, recognises innovative initiatives in terms of
managing human resources within major French groups.
Des équipes internationa
une culture commune
“Safety in Seb” iS rolleD out all over the worlD
"As specialists in behaviour-based safety, we were appointed by Groupe SEB to lead a seminar last
September with its Executive Committee. Together, we formalised the basic principles for developing
a culture of safety throughout the entire Group. I very soon became aware of a general desire to act
and to ensure that this topic becomes a part of the Group's culture. Today, we are supporting the rollout
of the “Safety in SEB” project, both in France and worldwide. An on-site training programme will
follow, which will be based on pragmatism, dialogue and anticipation. The Group is making a
long-term commitment to safety, with the aim of moving on from safety focussing on following rules
to safety based on adhesion."
