It first involved a group-wide employee survey to help develop the future strategy of Euronext. This survey was completed by close to 50% of the organization, and provided detailed answers regarding their ambitions and vision for the future as well as over 2,000 ideas for management to consider. The survey results and themes were shared with all employees during a Group Town Hall. Each major location across Euronext held at least one local strategy workshop session led by their CEO and senior managers; all staff were invited to discuss the outcome of the survey and the proposed strategic pillars in order to provide their input and ideas for inclusion for consideration by the Managing Board. All of this employee input and engagement directly fed the development of the new Euronext 2020–2022 Strategic Plan “Let’s Grow Together”.
