A responsible employer
The Human-centric project
The women and men of Crédit Agricole are central to the success of the Group. In an increasingly digital society, the direct responsibility that accountable employees can offer their customers is crucial. The Group places this responsibility at the heart of its Human-centric project.
Acting as the main driver to achieve our organisational, cultural and managerial transformation, the Human-centric project focuses on accountable teams, i.e. each individual employee is responsible for his or her actions. It aims to offer the Group’s customers permanent access to a single contact person, acting with full discretion to provide real value, in line with the Group’s raison d’être: “Working every day in the interest of our customers and society”.
The market environment is in constant flux. In order to face its many transformations, the Group, as a responsible employer, ensures equity and promotes diversity with a view to inclusion; improves the quality of work life and guarantees the health and safety of its employees; and upholds active dialogue with employee representatives.
