Development

Each area of the business develops its own training programs designed to allow employees to integrate into and keep pace with the development of its marketing, technical, technological and economic environment. Significant efforts are made every year to develop the skills of group employees. In France, for example, an average of €600 was spent on every employee who received training in 2010.
But that's not all...
In a changing world all the time, everything now points to the fact that changes in direction have a positive impact, and a willingness to take risks is one of the group's core values.
The creativity that this generates is one of the cornerstones of our shared culture: a culture that is built on responsibility, exchanging ideas and decentralization, and that relies on networks of skills and the sharing of experiences.

Our managers are at the heart of these challenges.

That is why we have developed a space for them at the heart of the group where they can be unconstrained, a space that supports skills development, encourages talented people to move around, and prompts them to share and broaden their knowledge through training programs with a multidisciplinary focus that supports change: the MEDIA CAMPUS.

MEDIA CAMPUS programs are designed to support our managers in their evolution, develop a corporate culture and transmit the values of the Group. Designed to provide an enjoyable, interactive learning experience and based on practices and ideas from all areas of management, these programs are led by external consultants.

The Group also implements actions to enable its managers to open the revolutions of the digital world.

Taking up the challenges of tomorrow is about allowing oneself to act in ways that may sometimes seem brash or even iconoclastic: that's what entrepreneurship is all about. What's really at stake in our training programs is clearing the way for talented staff by providing a space for sharing ideas, a place for opening and meeting other people.

Mobility, the passport to the future

The context in which change is changing the Lagardere group in all its businesses and the international expansion of its subsidiaries, make mobility a challenge even more strategic than before. It supports change, promotes the dissemination and appropriation of our values of commitment, innovation and teamwork. For all of us, it helps to develop the know-how, multiply synergies, unites enthusiasms, encourages initiative, curiosity and, of course, the development of self and others.

Tools to aid reflection on mobility are available to employees on the intranet. On this same space, employees access to positions within the Group with the possibility of setting up personalised alert messages to be notified of current internal vacancies that correspond to their needs.

Although the specifics of the various entities (activity, geographic dispersion ...) may constitute an obstacle to mobility between divisions, this improvement (12% in 2010 against 7.6% in 2009) shows that the theme of mobility is an important role in the Group's human resources strategy.

But mobility for its own sake is not part of our philosophy. It's an individual matter for each of our employees, and forms a natural part of their career progression. Curiosity and motivation are the drivers of success and fulfillment.

It is the role of the group and the companies that comprise it to create the most dynamic and favourable environment it can so as to encourage this personal process.
