As part of an initiative to enhance workplace well-being, ChooseMyCompany® was tasked with evaluating the quality of the work environment for all VÊPRES collaborators, including employees, interns, and apprentices.

Identifying Areas for Improvement in Workplace Well-being

To ensure the genuine relevance of the survey results, it was crucial for employees to freely share their experiences and perspectives. Consequently, the decision was made to engage an external company.

“Happy At Work” is the premier participatory employer label that assesses employee satisfaction and motivation within a company, based solely on feedback collected from its collaborators. As Europe's largest survey on workplace motivation, it consists of an anonymous 18-question online questionnaire, structured around 6 themes:

• Professional Development
• Stimulating Environment
• Management
• Compensation and Recognition
• Pride
• Pleasure

To be considered valid, the participation rate must exceed 60%.

Satisfactory and Insightful Results

Result: The 45 employees who responded to this survey gave an overall score of 4.06/5, exceeding the 3.81/5 required to be certified “Happy At Work”.
The themes of trust and pride are particularly satisfying for VÊPRES, as 78% declare themselves “proud of our products/services” and 71% “trust the management team”. Furthermore, 76% of the surveyed employees responded positively to the question “I enjoy coming to my workplace (offices/workshops, location, equipment, layout, atmosphere, etc.)”, and 80% are satisfied with our company's benefits (bonuses, premiums, profit-sharing, employee savings, health insurance, leave, housing assistance, CSE, etc.).

This certification, which will be renewed annually, is both the result of a corporate culture founded on a family spirit, benevolence, and solidarity, and the foundation for in-depth analysis to implement actions that enhance these outcomes.

People at the Heart of Our HR Approach

The critical challenge of recruitment drives us to explore all avenues for finding new talent aligned with the company's family values. For instance, we collaborate closely with local recruitment experts – temporary staffing agencies or social organizations – which enables us to discover and recruit specific and diverse profiles that contribute to the richness and strength of VÊPRES. Particular attention is given to the transmission of expertise and the company culture. To ensure the successful integration of new employees and facilitate the handover from those nearing retirement, an integration program has been established.
