1.2.2.3 Reasons for departure
The Contracting business lines (Energy, Roads and Construction) execute their projects at temporary worksites over a relatively short period.
They traditionally employ a large number of people whose contracts expire once the project is completed or who seek employment with
another local company to avoid having to move. In the Concessions business, particularly in the Motorways business line, the seasonal
variations in activity also explain the number of departures, as seen in expired contracts.

1.2.2.4 Workforce reduction and employment protection plans, redeployment efforts, rehiring and support measures
After a period of intense recruitment, some companies must now contend with restructuring, and even discontinuation of business, due to
the economic and financial crisis. Since VINCI’s operations cannot be relocated, senior management and human resources managers work
together to ensure economic and social solidarity through job mobility and redeployment plans, which are facilitated by the Group’s extensive
presence. Similarly, when VINCI makes an acquisition, it strives to retain staff whenever possible, since they are the guardians of valuable
skills and expertise, while benefiting from Group synergies to share resources and operate in networks. Some Group companies occasionally
implement redundancy plans or redeploy employees. On the major sites, Group companies have to manage redundancy and staff redeployment
moves that can sometimes be on a large scale. VINCI’s Human Resources Department and local HR managers regularly review sites
that are experiencing business or employment difficulties in and outside France.
In 2013, businesses in some European countries, particularly hard hit by the economic crisis, underwent major restructuring: in the Czech
Republic, Spain and Italy at VINCI Construction; and in the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany at Eurovia.
