CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ‑ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE PEOPLE: SAVOIR‑FAIRE

In France, an internal event, the k’(H)ermès des métiers, is organised twice a year to meet the goal of making internal mobility a collective and shared issue rather than an individual project. The objectives of this half‑day meeting held in Pantin are promoting knowledge of the entities, positions, inspiring career paths, the internal mobility policy and its associated tools, and employees. All management employees in France are invited to take part in an experience to better understand the methods used in internal mobility, to find out about the opportunities and possible bridges between divisions. More than 120 people are taking part in the experience based on one of the four Hermès divisions– Upstream, Métiers, Retail or Support functions – a new way to build confidence in opportunities to change jobs, entities or divisions and to encourage ambitious challenges. In addition, a Group Career Committee bringing together the Directors of Human Resources in France every two months makes it possible to find a match between job opportunities and the development priorities of employees at a certain level of the organisation, in order to stimulate their development. Offering development opportunities through diversified paths in terms of challenge, experience and acquisition of new skills is a source of value for both employees and the Company. Interaction to achieve progress Hermès places interaction at the heart of the managerial relationship. Men and women are the key ingredients in the success of each team, each project, each activity, etc. to reconcile the demanding model and the differentiating human dimension of the House’s culture. Hermès’ managerial philosophy gives each employee a strong place. Reconciling attention and high standards, supporting the development of each employee: this is the key role of the manager. This requires a regular, precise and clear assessment of each person’s contribution as well as the sharing of continuous and detailed feedback, conducive to a positive employee experience and punctuated by milestones that are sources of constant progress. The

2.3.1.4 The annual interview is managed by the Group Director of Human Resources in coordination with the local Directors of Human Resources. It is shaped by multiple training sessions aimed at making the exchange a pleasant moment dedicated to taking stock of the year, looking at objectives for the coming year and putting improvements in perspective. TRAINING IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES “All artisans of sustainable development” involves raising the awareness, empowerment and skills development of all of the House’s employees, who are the first agents of change. Structured in 2022, the Group training programme combines two components: an acculturation approach, which allows both an understanding of the Group’s sustainable development strategic framework and an awareness of the major social and environmental challenges of tomorrow, which is essential as a citizen; s a skills‑improvement approach, for the major categories of jobs within the Group that will manage the environmental and social transition (industrial, creative and product development positions, etc.). s end‑of‑year interview is designed to make it possible to continue the on‑going interaction between the employee and his or her manager on the occasion of an annual review, to consider and objectively assess the contribution of the employee to the activity, to detect any factors that may be hindering the employee’s performance in their position, share constructive feedback to co‑build trust and sincerity. The feedback given by employees on the quality of the relationship with their manager is encouraged to prompt managers to adjust their practices and maintain a healthy and fair relationship with each member of their team, a guarantee of joint progress.
