Festival of Diversity: Carrefour celebrates the ongoing commitment of its 381,000 employees to promoting inclusion
GROUP
On 28 October, Carrefour will celebrate diversity and equal opportunities. In each of the countries in which it operates, its 381,000 employees will be taking part in around a hundred or so events to showcase Carrefour's initiatives to promote inclusion: disabled sports workshops featuring top-level athletes, improvisational theatre, round-table discussions about stereotypes, photo competitions and exhibitions, conferences in the dark, etc. Carrefour has more than 11,900 stores which are reflections of the neighbourhoods and communities in which they trade and has been a signatory of the Diversity Charter since 2004. All year round, it implements concrete initiatives designed to tackle various local issues, ensuring that diversity is a key feature of all of the company's professions and at all levels.
Disability, inclusion and keeping people in employment: Carrefour saw a 21.3% increase in the number of disabled people hired between 2011 and 2015 As a founder member of the ILO's Global Disability Network, Carrefour employs 11,200 people with disabilities. In order to promote the employment of people with disabilities and keep them in their jobs, Carrefour has implemented initiatives in all of the countries in which it operates. In Brazil, all Carrefour stores employ people with disabilities. Carrefour has deployed the "Eu pratico a inclusão" (I support inclusion) programme, together with the "Meu amigo e especial” (My friend is special) scheme to help them integrate into the company. This proactive policy has increased the number of disabled employees to 1600 – nearly 300 of whom were hired in 2015. In France, hypermarkets employ more disabled people than the 6% minimum legal requirement – up to 14% in some stores. The "Mission Handicap" agreement was first entered into in 1999 and has been renewed six times
since. Agreements have also been entered into and initiatives undertaken in supermarkets over the last 10 years, as well as across the supply chain. In Belgium, Carrefour launched the “Duo Day” programme in 2015, set up in partnership with the AWIPH (Walloon agency for the integration of disabled persons). Under this scheme, employees are asked to work in tandem with a disabled person for several days. The campaign is an opportunity for people with disabilities to find out about life in the workplace, and to raise people's awareness of how these people – who are full of potential – can be employed. In Poland, Carrefour employs 700 employees with disabilities – 6% of its total workforce. It also works with the Ekon association, which has led to the recruitment of 150 mentally disabled people. In 2015, 346 people with disabilities found employment with Carrefour Poland.
Diversity promoted with labour representatives Every year, Carrefour enters into nearly 200 agreements with its labour representatives in France and other countries on issues such as employment, disability and gender mix. These include an international agreement entered into in 2015 with international union federation UNI Global Union on promoting social dialogue, diversity and respect for basic human rights.
A balanced gender mix at all levels of the company and across all professions: 8.6% increase in women in managerial roles between 2011 and 2015 – women now account for 38.3% of management. Carrefour supports the professional development of its employees and attaches particular importance to the role that women – who make up nearly 58% of its staff – play within the company. In a bid to help them get promoted to senior management level, Carrefour launched the "Women Leaders" programme in 2011. While encapsulating the joint ambition that is shared by all the countries in which the Group operates, this programme is also tailored to cater to specific local situations, encouraging people to share examples of best practice. These initiatives have a tangible impact: there has been an 8.6% increase in the numbers of women in managerial roles – they now account for 38.3% of the Group's management. The programme has been deployed locally and in each country via a mentoring scheme (France, Italy and Argentina in particular) and the setting up of dedicated careers committees designed to identify talented women. It has resulted in women's networks being set up, as well as childcare facilities across the company. And women can now adapt their working hours when they return from maternity leave.
Youth employment: 34% of Carrefour's employees are under the age of 30 – that's 125,000 people. The Group supports employment of young people from all backgrounds, with or without qualifications. In all of the countries in which Carrefour operates, it supports initiatives to integrate and include young people through apprenticeship schemes and training programmes. In France, Carrefour hired 20,000 young people under the age of 26 in 2015. 6000 of these were on permanent contracts, and 5500 on work/study programmes, with some of them being awarded professional qualifications and being hired by the Group on completion of their courses. Every year, the retailer organises Youth
Employment Day, together with a competition to find the best apprentice butcher or baker. Carrefour also supports initiatives to integrate vulnerable young people via its own Employment Centre, in collaboration with training and integration bodies, such as the Apprentis d’Auteuil, the Tremplins des Restos du Cœur and the Ecole de la Deuxième Chance. In Brazil, Carrefour runs its Jovens Apprendizes programme which has led to 2000 apprentices being hired. And 1500 young people living in shanty towns have been given the opportunity to visit stores, find out about the various jobs available in retail and attend workshops on food-related professions through the Rede Cidade association. In Argentina, Carrefour has brought in the Jovenes con futuro programme designed to provide young people from difficult areas who have had to abandon their studying with professional opportunities.
At the same time, Carrefour is implementing wide-ranging initiatives aimed at young high-potential graduates. Its Graduate Programmes in France, for example, enable 40 young graduates every year to take on fully-fledged roles and at international level, while at the same time getting customised support. This very quickly provides them with major managerial and commercial scope. These Graduate Programmes are available for various job functions and roles: managers, jobs involving digital technologies, logistics, hypermarket manager, supermarket manager, etc.
