A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION 5.2.1.1 Except for administration and support functions, most profiles of Technicolor’s employees are business division specific: Production Services: creative digital talent combining media and • technology skills with artistic skills for visual effects, animation and post-production, including artists, supervisors and producers. This activity, as in any creative industry, is project driven, with an important quantity of artists hired using a fixed-term contract tied to the project, and is subject to significant turnover and recruitment rates: artists move easily worldwide from one company to another, to join a more technically challenging project in order to improve their track record and experience, their employability and their remuneration, leading to the creation of some tensions on the labor market. Diversity of employees is a critical success factor for this creative industry. Therefore, volume recruitment is significant and permanent and is managed on a worldwide basis, making critical Technicolor’s attraction and retention policies; DVD Services: line operators, warehouse and material handling • workers, content security specialists, facilities and equipment maintenance technicians, health and safety specialists, supervisors and managers. Activity is seasonal and regularly requires large staffing variations using temporary recruitment (employees and agency workers), in addition to overtime, to offset peak production requirements. Recruitment is local; Connected Home: mainly engineer’s skills, with R&D hardware and • software engineers, quality engineers, technical customer support, sourcing and manufacturing engineers, sales engineers, and a limited percentage of production workers. Turnover is limited and recruitment is mainly in Asia and Americas, allowing a relative level of diversity complemented by the diversity of site locations and the internal mobility of employees. Therefore, the management and the development of talent require a flexible organization to match with these different requirements. The operating model of Technicolor’s Human Resources & Corporate Social Responsibility (HR & CSR) organization has three dimensions: strong partnership with Business divisions; • global Centers of Expertise (CoE); • regional Human Resources shared Services (HR Competence • Centers – HRCC), reinforced with HR leaders at the main sites.
