GEODIS // 2022 Activity and Sustainability Report

04 SOCIAL

Departures The number of departures from the Group, all causes combined, stood at 19,224 in 2022, an increase over the previous year of 14.6%. This rise can be explained by the repercussions of the health crisis and the trend of the “great resignation” (or the “big quit”) which continued in 2022. Back in 2021, GEODIS had not escaped this trend, with more than 10,000 employee departures, half of them in the Americas. However, this situation slowed down in 2022, with the number of resignations falling by 6.8% compared to 2021. The high number of departures is also due to the increase in the number of fixed-term contracts terminated (2.5 times higher in 2022 than in 2021). The Group’s activities in the United States require temporary staff during peaks in activity, and these hires are mainly on fixed-term contracts, as the use of temporary employment agencies is not widespread.

Recruitment The growth in the Group’s headcount is mostly due to recruitment on permanent employment contracts (66%). In 2022, 40% of new hires were women and 28% were managers. France accounted for
