Responsible employer

By providing employees with guidance and highlighting their talents, Barrière is committed to being a responsible employer. The aim? To improve company life.

GUIDANCE & MOBILISATION

Barrière boasts a wealth of different profiles working within the group. To promote this diversity, Barrière assists employees with their induction to the company, their training and career progression on a daily basis.

 

 

Developing human capital

 

To ensure a successful induction for new recruits, it is important for them to become acquainted with the Barrière Spirit and Culture. Every new employee therefore embarks on an induction programme to familiarise themselves with its values. On-site or online (100% online course created in conjunction with Campus Barrière, our talent management programme), our induction sessions are open to all newly recruited employees, whether on a temporary or permanent contract, to learn the key information about Barrière, our businesses and our professions. This is also an opportunity to learn more about oneself, through discussions with others. On joining, all Barrière managers follow a 3-day Operational Professions Discovery course to immerse themselves in the daily running of the various departments.

 

The management's firm convictions of recognising and paying attention to all can be seen as soon as employees join the company and throughout their career. 

 

 

Creating optimal working conditions

 

In consultation with its employees, Barrière is seeking to implement new ways to guarantee “well-being at work”. For example, in almost all of its Casinos, the traditional tokens used for the Slot Machines have been replaced by a TITO (Ticket In Ticket Out) system. Winners now receive their prize on a ticket. This means less handling of tokens for the employees and a more modern approach – a win-win initiative!

 

The group’s management keeps a very close eye on health and safety measures at work to prevent hazards, protect them, and keep them informed.Another action undertaken as part of its prevention and quality of working life approach is the introduction of a support helpline and counselling service which all Barrière employees can access via a freephone number, available 24/7.

 

 

IMPULSE, responsible management

 

IMPULSE, our managerial model, is based on 5 basic values: Humbleness, Daring, Sharing, Team Spirit and Confidence, which comprise exemplary characteristics for managers. Whether by delivering regular, clear and motivating briefings, carefully preparing annual appraisals, or by creating fair work schedules, all managers play a part in their teams' involvement. Every manager should also give his or her employees the means to progress.

 

In a quest for constant improvement, Groupe Barrière has implemented Well-Being at Work indicators thanks to results generated through national and local surveys. An external occupational psychologist supports the teams as they analyse the feedback, in a bid to identify the actions needed to be put into place thereafter.

 

Encouraging diversity

Through its diversity policy, Barrière aims to ensure professional equality between men and women in terms of training, remuneration and promotions. Barrière recruits motivated, talented candidates, regardless of their age, gender, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Our aim is to ensure they all feel welcome within the group, and that they are integrated into their team and their work environment, enabling them to reach their full potential.
