At Econocom, extra-financial matters are now an integral part of the groupâs strategy. The HR team, led by Sophie Latourrette and ĂlĂ©onore Mandonnet, plays a crucial role in implementing concrete measures to improve equity, inclusion and excellence across the group. As the end of the year approaches, Econocom Stories gives a progress report on ESG indicators.
One of our priorities is to reduce the gender pay gap. To that end, weâve devised and rolled out group-wide a methodology for analysing pay gaps. Next weâll carry out a detailed analysis for each department and employment category, in order to highlight any disparities and address them. Each country will then draw up and follow an annual roadmap from 2025 to 2028, with specific action plans for each country.
At the same time, Econocom has also pledged to implement a more inclusive model, particularly where disability is concerned. The first step for this involved establishing consistent definitions of what constitutes disability across the different countries in the group, pending a standardized European framework aligned with the requirements of CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Weâll draw up an annual plan between now and 2025, including specific measures to implement in order to improve inclusion across all our operations.
Another key factor is improving the employee experience. Econocom has chosen ChooseMyCompany, an employer brand benchmarking agency, to assess and improve employee satisfaction. In 2025 an Econocom subsidiary outside France will be asked to volunteer for the pilot project; the employer rating scheme will then be gradually rolled out across the rest of the group.
These initiatives are all part of a long-term approach, with regular workshops to realign priorities. Another workshop will enable all the stakeholders to meet in Q1 2025. Meanwhile, the group is continuing its efforts to develop managerial skills and sales training (click here to read the article on One Portfolio).
These initiatives are a testament to Econocomâs commitment to sustainable, responsible economic performance. With clear objectives and measurable results, the HR team is ensuring that the main focus and priority of the groupâs transformation is people.
