STRENGTHENING EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT

ONBOARDING NEW HIRES

Every new employee joining the Group, a new site or a new business line, benefits from an induction programme called “onboarding”. It allows the employee to learn more about: – SOMFY, its customers, its products, its footprint; – the trade position they join and the associated ways of working; – the site on which they will work.

In 2022, 232 people were enrolled in this online English-speaking onboarding programme, which will be available in several languages in 2023. It includes virtual visits to several sites such as the head office in Cluses and elsewhere. In 2023, a Meet the Group module will be added to give new hires (managers and employees) the opportunity to meet the management team and better understand the corporate project and the focus on people that SOMFY wishes to promote. sponsorship, to non-profit and community associations seeking to provide dignified standard of living for everyone, notably by promoting access to decent and sustainable housing, better social integration and a healthier environment. In order to respond to these challenges, the SOMFY Corporate Foundation is committed to concrete projects through two action levers: – financial support; – human support thanks to the solidarity engagement of our employees. Coordinating these two action levers is key to providing aid that is as close as possible to the needs of associations. Focus on SOMFY ACTIVITÉS SA The company has set up a scheme currently being rolled out across France that allows employees to dedicate up to three working days to the Foundation’s projects. In 2022, 409 full-time equivalent days of skills sponsorship benefited French associations (compared with 175 in 2021). The enthusiasm of employees for the Foundation’s pro bono public interest initiatives is encouraged by senior management and by managers. In 2022, 84 projects were carried out with non-profit associations and non-governmental organisations (66 in 2021), mobilising 470 employees (233 in 2021), including 96 international employees and 374 in France, i.e. 7.3% of the Group’s workforce from approximately fifteen subsidiaries and 13.8% of the workforce in France. Internationally, subsidiaries are similarly encouraged to implement solidarity initiatives involving employees. This mobilisation represented 106 solidarity days in 2022, compared to 59 in 2021, a very healthy increase after years impacted by Covid-19.

CULTIVATING EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT

ACTING ON THE SOMFYSCOPE RESULTS —

Every two years, a Group-wide engagement survey is conducted. The survey carried out at the end of 2022 showed a participation rate of 89% (compared to 78% in 2020), thanks to an effort to make the survey accessible to employees without a computer. The engagement rate in 2022 is 7.3/10 (compared to 7.6/10 in 2020). This almost stable high level of engagement reflects the confidence of employees in the company. This indicator makes it possible to measure the understanding of the Group’s ambitions among employees, their commitment to the company, their well-being within the organisation and their team. It is a fundamental tool for capitalising on the strengths of a team and improving working methods. The results of the Somfyscope support the areas of development already identified and currently being rolled out: – acceleration and digital transformation of professions; – acceleration and managerial transformation of leaders; – strengthening communication and proximity of management circles to the teams; – focus on innovation with an “integrated solution” approach rather than a “product in detail” approach. DEVELOPING SKILLS SPONSORSHIP AND THE INITIATIVES OF THE SOMFY FOUNDATION — SOMFY strives to put the skills of its employees, developed individually and collectively, for the benefit of all through meaningful projects of public interest. As an important lever for employee engagement, the SOMFY Corporate Foundation provides financial support, as well as skills
