The Group’s training programme offers three main types of courses: Learn’up: the digital learning platform • accessible to all; the Econocom Management Academy • aimed at managers; training actions that meet the specific • needs of the Group’s businesses and activities. To meet the training requests of all employees and encourage them to engage in self-training, Econocom draws on the wealth of opportunities available through digital technology, and has redesigned its distance training offer. MOOCs are also offered throughout the year, particularly on subjects relating to the digital transformation of the Group’s businesses. In 2019, Econocom rolled out an innovative digital training offering in a SPOC format on soft skills: project management, flexibility, human resources, conflict management, organising meetings, communication and management. Almost 230 were able to benefit from this distance training, on a voluntary basis, after approval by management. The Econocom Management Academy was set up to develop managerial skills. Its training courses help managers prepare for the digital transformation and the collaborative, cross-disciplinary practices that come with it. Econocom believes that training is a key factor in both employees’ professional advancement and the Group’s success. In France, 40,000 hours of training were provided in 2019.

Internal digital transformation Econocom has introduced a digital acculturation training programme called the “digital passport”. The goal is to improve employees’ knowledge and awareness of the impact of digital technology on their business, and help them learn to use the new tools available to them so that digital solutions can be a true source of professional development. In 2017, almost 500 ژ employees in France signed up on a voluntary basis to obtain the digital passport. The last training session was set up in 2019, training almost 90 more people. Digital transformation also involves adapting workspaces. To this end, Econocom has redesigned the layout of its offices to create spaces where people can come together to share ideas under the watchwords of co-creation and collaboration. The Group’s different sites are equipped with digital solutions, such as displays in walkways to enable staff to perform quick tasks (reserve a meeting room, find their way around, check available offices, etc.) and web conferencing solutions that can be used either from a meeting room or a work device, such as a computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. Nearly 3,000 ژ employees benefit from working conditions adapted to changes in their business and work methods.
