Join a company with a strong focus on inclusivity and broader access to employment

Join a richly diverse Group that gives everyone a chance. We promote equal opportunities and encourage diversity and broader access to employment.

We encourage broader access to employment

We play a part in local economic development by providing routes into employment for people with limited qualifications or who face barriers to employment.

We take particular care over the social clauses included in our projects, which reserve a specified quantity of working hours for these purposes (A79 motorway, Grand Paris Express, LaVallée eco-district, etc.). But our Group frequently goes beyond these contractual and regulatory requirements.

On the Ariane 6 project, 100,503 social employment hours were worked, well in excess of the 61,880 statutory hours required.

Key figures

CREPI: regional social employment business clubs

More than 30 years ago, Eiffage created the network of Clubs régionaux d’entreprises partenaires de l’insertion (lit. regional social employment business clubs) – CREPI.

EMPLOYEE INSIGHTS

  • For inclusive recruitment, we’re taking the work-study route. This allows us to work with CREPI to encourage people who have had problems in the past to take part. It’s a way to integrate them into the world of education and subsequently the world of work.

The Eiffage Foundation: supporting social and professional integration

Since 2008, the Eiffage Foundation’s mission has been to contribute to social employment for people in difficult situations. It supports projects in various domains (training, employment, accommodation, sport and culture) across France and beyond, wherever the Group operates. The commitment of Group employees, past and present, is the pillar the Foundation rests on – it can only function with their support.

We promote equal opportunities and diversity

At Eiffage, we give everyone a chance through multiple actions in favour of inclusion and the fight against all forms of discrimination.

Our diversity, equal opportunities and inclusions club includes a representative from every Group division and conducts regular assessments to track the progress of our diversity policy in line with our defined priorities.

Eiffage has launched a range of initiatives designed to open up its jobs to women and promote gender parity in every aspect of its business, including training, pay and promotion. Accordingly, Eiffage set itself the ambitious target of 25% of executives to be women by 2025.

The Group’s weighted average professional equality index between men and women was 85.57 at year-end 2023. To lift the index to over 80/100 across all our eligible subsidiaries in 2025, the divisions are taking steps to champion integration, career management, parental assistance and a better work life/family life balance. At Group level, initiatives are launched at the earliest possible stage, alongside NGOs such as Elles bougent, Les souterReines and Capital Filles, encouraging women to talk about their career progression and to go out and meet school pupils and students to promote awareness of vocational jobs.

In support of its disability policy, the Group has appointed advisors in the divisions to raise employee awareness of disability. Their role is also to support those who need help getting their disability recognised in the workplace and to help people who become disabled remain in work. Our approach also involves increasing the proportion of our purchases made from protected-sector businesses.

Eiffage is also committed to promoting its workers’ access to digital through the Eiffage Connexions initiative, which provides email for all and works to combat digital illiteracy.

I joined Eiffage through their partner DSI, an adapted enterprise for people with disabilities. To being with, I worried that my team might be judgemental and apprehensive. We got acquainted and broke the disability taboo. They were caring and respectful. Now I’m just as much a part of EGS as all my colleagues. My disability and I just blended into the crowd.

The aim is to provide athletes with flexible working arrangements so they can train in the best possible way for major international competitions while becoming familiar with the business world, in order to make their future career transition a smoother one.
