7.5.1.3

In 2021, the Human Resources and Occupational Health teams continued to mobilize, through a dedicated commitment plan, to support employees and management in the face of the health crisis and changes in working methods. In terms of health, many initiatives have been deployed to support employees in the face of the crisis: sustainable reinforcement of remote working (up to ten days per month), very regular communication of the health protocol and barrier actions (newsletter, dedicated sharepoint or billboard), possibility of being vaccinated and performing an antigen test on several sites, access to an online teleconsultationservice and a psychologicalsupport unit (La Ligne). In addition, to support the development of hybrid work, which represented a major change this year, employees were offered a wide range of solutions – workshops, webinars, practical guides, discussion meetings with their managers – to adapt their work practices and methods of operation, training in digital or collaborative tools or preserving their well-being and positive energy in this context. Natixis also paid particular attention to leaders, through a specific system aimed at organizing the work of the teams, which has resulted in specific training modules such as “managing in an uncertain context” or practical kits for defining operating charters in hybrid mode. The attention paid to the well-being of employees, in the health context of 2021, continued to be based on a listening system, " YourPulse, ” based on short, rapid and anonymous surveys that enable employees to be quickly and regularly assessed on the basis of a few recurring or thematic questions.

Building sustainable employer-employee communications At a time when the Company and its business lines must cope with constant changes in terms of regulations, technology, organization and skills, Natixis is committed to developing constructive, high-quality employer-employeecommunicationswith its employee representatives. Several collective negotiations carried out in recent years bear witness to this desire to build a Group-wide employment framework for the various Natixis entities in France, which today isbased on: a homogeneous framework for the Social and Economic V Committee (CSE); compensation measures, through a single Natixis Employee V Savings Plan, a supplementary collective pension plan (Percol), a profit-sharing mechanism, and consistent salary measures;
