ARTE GEIE<br />

A workforce of 430 French and German employees ensures<br />

the smooth operation of ARTE GEIE, which also relies on the<br />

efforts of freelance and independent journalists and occasional<br />

performers, as well as various contractors for miscellaneous<br />

services. The average staff age is forty-two, with around nine<br />

years of service. In an enterprise with dual nationality like ARTE,<br />

the need to establish a common corporate culture and identity<br />

that all staff can identify with is a major challenge faced daily,<br />

in all of its activities. Good communication between, and<br />

co-ordination of, the channel’s three operational centres are<br />

critical elements in this process. An internal forum and a staff<br />

exchange programme enable everyone involved to experience<br />

the varied skills and know-how that go into making the channel<br />

successful while also providing a space for inter-personnel<br />

dialogue within the company.
