Breakdown of work-study students and interns in the Planet companies in 2020

The Group works to get its employees involved in its diversity policy and strongly encourages them to participate in local awareness and integration initiatives. Through the Group’s partnership with the organisation “100 000 Entrepreneurs” and its network of partner establishments, several managers speak at secondary schools all over France to give students greater insight into entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and the business world in general. In 2020 these interventions took place in digital format, which was an innovation, and made it possible to reach classes throughout the country. Taking its policy to support the professional integration a step further, Econocom signed a generation contract for its different subsidiaries in France. This contract has three main goals : facilitate the long-term integration of • young people into the workforce by providing access to a permanent work contract; encourage hiring senior workers and • keeping them in the workforce; ensure the transfer of skills and expertise. • This agreement also aims to create synergies among the different generations of employees that make up the organisation and bring their expertise, a source of strength and innovative force. For this reason, the generation contract not only supports younger and older workers but also the generations in between, by giving them a key role in working with young people, transferring skills and training.

Supporting employees aged over 45 Employees in France aged 45 and over can organise a career development meeting to discuss their situation and professional development plans. They are also given the option of having a skills assessment performed by an authorised independent organisation. In addition, these employees enjoy priority access to trainingprogrammes and support from the Human Resources Department to guide them through their internal mobility project. Employees aged over 55 also benefit from additional measures. They are granted one paid day of absence every two years to have a health check-up. They can also opt for flexible working time arrangements such as part-time work, adjusted hours and teleworking. In addition, the Group gives them the opportunity to pass on their expertise in a tutoring programme involving youngerEconocomemployees.
