Hardis Group 2018, that's us!
As part of its three-year strategic plan called "Hardis Group 2018, that's us!", Hardis Group has set itself three objectives: international expansion and ecosystem building, innovation and employee wellbeing and satisfaction. Each year, the company invests over 2% of its payroll in employee training to develop hard and soft skills. It has rolled out a workspace design program in its various sites, making them more collaborative, friendly and conducive to agility and innovation.
"Our employees are engaged and proud of their company. They feel comfortable and develop in their post or via internal mobility. With a turnover rate of only 6% this year, we are well below the average in other digital services companies. This is the result of efforts since 2013 and a company approach which encourages collaborative work and initiative, both internally and with regard to our customers and partners", explains Marie-Agnès Brochier, Hardis Group HR Director.
