Empowered teams close to customers, one of our requirements

Our Human-centric Project is our main lever for achieving all of our ambitions.
It focuses on empowered teams to provide customers with ongoing access to a point of contact person who acts with insight and can contribute real value.

Our ambition

Become one of the Top 5 favourite employers in Europe for financial services.

How?

Thanks to the power of collective action. Thanks to women and men who are committed and proud to workfor Crédit Agricole. Thanks to a coherent social pact.

OUR AMBITION
1. EMPOWERING TEAMS THROUGH A DEEP MANAGEMENT TRANSFORMATION
  • Managers who provide a framework of trust and help their teams move forward through the responsibility they take on.
  • Women and men who can work autonomously for more empowered teams for customers.
2. TRANSFORMING THE ORGANISATION FOR A CLOSE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
  • An organisation that strengthens individual responsibility.
  • New working methods to disseminate a culture of ongoing improvement.
3. STRENGTHENING THE SOCIAL PACT TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK OF TRUST THAT DRIVES INITIATIVES
  • An amplified social pact for greater trust among all Group stakeholders.
  • Diversity that mirrors our diverse customer base and encourages working as a team and seizing the initiative.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
A NEW MANAGEMENT MODEL

A managerial transformation to organise empowerment and for greater commitment:

  • Managers who set the strategic guidelines and embody the Group’s culture;
  • Management that carries responsibility in a collective sense to enable the empowerment of all;
  • Employees who are actively involved in their careers and who are trained in digital, behavioural and cross-functional skills.
Action

Evolution of the new 2020 “Evaluation & Development” campaign with a simplified and more cross-functional discussion format to share the assessment of skills and performance evaluation.

A DEEP ORGANISATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

Offering our customers direct access to a retail bank relationship manager, which results in:

  • More regular feed-back;
  • Greater responsibility and greater cross-functionality;
  • Faster decision-making;
  • New workspaces and more remote work.
Action

Operational support to employees and managers via charters, guides and webinars about adapting to remote working.

A STRENGTHENED FRAMEWORK OF TRUST

It results in:

  • Social dialogue built on transparency and partnership;
  • Strong commitments in terms of social and gender diversity and integration, notably in favour of young people.
Action
  • A constructive social dialogue in the  management of the health crisis.
  • A diversity policy that is bearing fruit: No. 1 in financial services in France in the Financial Times European ranking of Diversity Leaders 2020 and in the 1st quartile out of 10 European countries.
SUPPORT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES DURING THE HEALTH CRISIS

In order to provide the best support to Group employees in this very unusual context, the Group Human Resources Department implemented several arrangements and measures.

To promote health and well-being at work
  • Medical televisits.
  • A remote psychological unit.
  • Psychological support dedicated to employees with disabilities.
  • The CA Ma Santé application for beneficiaries of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Group supplementary health plan.
  • The “Well-being” offer: corporate yoga classes to counter physical inactivity and maintain concentration.

For new working methods
  • Two best practices charters dedicated to employees and managers.
  • A guide to the thought-process and action to facilitate the gradual return to post-lockdown activity and draw lessons from the lockdown period with regard to our methods of functioning.
For the children of our employees
  • A tutoring offer for children from grade six up.
