Its expertise relies on the knowledge and know-how of its employees. Attracting the best talent and fostering employee loyalty is crucial to ensure the Group’s level of excellence, its ability to satisfy its customers and its image as an innovative company are maintained. Furthermore, new jobs are appearing which mean that the Group needs to attract new skill profiles: mechatronics, plastronics, electrochemistry, software engineering, digital manufacturing and data analysis are the new skills that the Group is focusing on in response to vehicle connectivity, electrification and process automation. There is a special focus on recruiting junior level staff (young graduates or those with a first professional experience) in order to ensure generational renewal. To do this, relations with schools were deepened further in 2018, with the Group being involved in 134 events (an increase compared to 80 events the previous year). Five events were of particular interest to the Group in France to promote the sector to young people from college age onward: la Journée Nationale des Jeunes (JNDJ) is a day of citizen and ● community mobilization: on this day, the Group invited young people to its sites to give them a taste of the world of work; Plastic Omnium exhibited at the Jeunes d’avenir Île de France event, ● the leading career guidance-training-job fair for young people aged 16-25 with or without a degree; Plastic Omnium also had a stand at the Paris Motor Show, where it ● talked to young people about the Group’s businesses; organized by the French Society of Automotive Engineers (SIA), thanks ● to the MonJob@FuturAuto symposium, engineering students were received on the stand where Group's business lines and opportunities were presented to them. 75 college students were also received on the stand, at the initiative of the FIEV (Federation of Vehicle Equipment Industries). The partnership with the Elles Bougent association also enabled the Group to meet 150 female high school students; finally, Plastic Omnium presented its opportunities at the VIE ● (International Business Volunteering) forum. Thus in 2018, 49 young people took part in VIE with the Group. Junior profiles accounted for 22% of new managerial recruitments.
