MTP 2022: The Human project, our employees at the heart of our strategy

Because our people are our strength, we invest in our teams and integrate new generations to improve our expertise, the diversity of our skills and knowledge sharing. By developing each employee’s talents, we want to promote an inclusive culture that reflects our clients’ diversity. To further strengthen the commitment of our teams we want to continue to improve our managerial culture which values authenticity and individual empowerment, in order to better meet the needs and expectations of our clients and stakeholders.

This engagement of our teams is measured by an annual survey. Within Crédit Agricole CIB, employees express great pride to be part of the Group, appreciate the stimulating work environment, a management approach that values responsibility and express their desire to contribute to Crédit Agricole CIB and the Group’s success. 

Closer to the expectations of today’s candidates who are in search of authenticity and meaning, we have reviewed our employer brand at the end of 2019, highlighting three major commitments of the 2022 MTP: green finance, empowerment and innovation.

Because professional experience is crucial to integrating junior people, Crédit Agricole CIB’s teams welcomed 800 trainees, 255 work-study students and 165 VIEs in 2019. These experiences often offer great opportunities: in France, 50% of junior positions are filled by young graduates who began their careers with one of these contracts within the Group.

In addition to the digital induction set-up, we believe in the importance of bonding in real life. Thus, all new employees are invited to an Induction Day the year of their arrival. This event is an opportunity to discover the life of a landmark deal and understand how teams collaborate to meet our clients’ challenges. It also encourages networking and transversal cooperation between teams.
