<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Approach<br />
Diversity<br />
Since 2002, diversity has been an integral part of the Group’s<br />
principles of social responsibility, formalised in 2004 by its signing of<br />
the Diversity Charter.<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> takes a broad view encompassing all aspects<br />
of diversity:<br />
• gender diversity:<br />
– Equal Employment Opportunity Agreement (since 2004),<br />
– Equality Label (since 2007 and renewed in 2010),<br />
– Parenthood Charter (launched in 2008);<br />
• generational diversity:<br />
– Work-study Agreement,<br />
– Training Agreement,<br />
– Agreement on employment of older workers (since 2010);<br />
• diversity of origin (social, cultural, etc.):<br />
– “Espoir banlieue” plan (promotion of employment opportunities<br />
for young people from underprivileged areas),<br />
– partnership with the “Nos Quartiers ont du Talent” (Our<br />
neighborhoods have talent) association,<br />
– “100 opportunities – 100 jobs” campaign (see page 87);<br />
• disability:<br />
– Disability Agreement (eighth agreement signed in 2010).<br />
Several programs have been developed to promote our diversity<br />
policy:<br />
• People Review process to detect talent and promote equality<br />
and diversity at all levels of the Company, ensuring professional<br />
development based on equality for both men and women;<br />
• development of the potential of men and women to grow<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s pool of talent throughout the world;<br />
• professional development of all socio-professional groups<br />
through providing training leading to diplomas and qualifi cations<br />
for OATAM employee categories (Manual Workers, Administrative<br />
Employees, Technicians and Foremen), with a major impact on<br />
employee promotion and remuneration, particularly manual<br />
workers and assistants;<br />
• working session training for members of the Executive Committee<br />
and their management teams.<br />
Equal employment opportunity<br />
Since 2002, equal employment opportunity has been a core principle<br />
of responsibility for <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>. 2004 saw the Group formalise<br />
its commitments to equal employment opportunity in a fi rst Company<br />
Agreement. In 2007, <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> was awarded France’s Equal<br />
Employment Opportunity Label and signed the Parenthood Charter<br />
the following year. 2009 saw the global launch by <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong><br />
of an on-line training program dedicated to the promotion of diversity<br />
and equal employment opportunity.<br />
The Group has undertaken a number of actions to promote greater<br />
gender diversity, including awareness sessions, on-line training, and<br />
appropriate recruitment and management policies.<br />
• Gender diversity also forms the core of recruitment and talent<br />
management policies at <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>. Succession planning<br />
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br />
COMMITTED TO AND ON BEHALF OF EMPLOYEES<br />
for key positions in the Company must include at least one<br />
woman. The promotion of women is monitored, as is their<br />
participation in leadership development programs.<br />
Disability<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> focuses on training and adapting workstations<br />
to foster the independence of employees with a disability and to<br />
ensure that all are accorded the same opportunities to succeed.<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> is committed to ensuring maximum independence<br />
for employees by adapting the organisation and workstations and<br />
providing access to the best technologies available to compensate<br />
for their disabilities.<br />
All its teams cooperate to change behavior, improve practices, and<br />
involve all personnel in actively providing equal opportunities for the<br />
disabled:<br />
• the Recruitment and Mobility unit utilises partner fi rms and<br />
monitors compliance with equal treatment at all stages of the<br />
recruitment process;<br />
• the Occupational Health Department is responsible for preventing<br />
individual and group disabling situations, retaining disabled<br />
employees and disability compensation;<br />
• the Purchasing Department specifi es its requirements to<br />
temporary employment agencies and ensures compliance<br />
with commitments in terms of subcontracting to the protected<br />
employment sector.<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> subcontracts to the Établissements et Services<br />
d’Aides par le Travail (ESAT – Assistance through Employment<br />
Entities and Services) for industrial work, landscaping services,<br />
catering and seminars.<br />
Main action plans for 2010<br />
Diversity<br />
In 2010, the People Review process was rolled out globally using<br />
dedicated information systems. 2011 will see this process extended<br />
to all <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> entities, including its latest acquisitions,<br />
enabling the Company to use a single process to develop talent<br />
and promote mobility and career development throughout the Group.<br />
Particular attention is paid to the number of talented employees in<br />
new economies and women.<br />
In 2010 more than 2,200 talented employees were identifi ed across<br />
the Group, 30% of these in new economies (12% more than in<br />
2009), and 21% women (10% increase on 2009).<br />
Of the 507 talented employees identifi ed in France in 2010, 422 men<br />
and 85 women are being tracked.<br />
803 <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> employees received training in 2010 as part<br />
of our talent development programs; 469 took part in management<br />
training and 334 in job-oriented training.<br />
In 2009 and 2010, six members of the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Executive<br />
Committee and 68 managers on their teams attended specifi c<br />
Executive Committee training on the subject.<br />
