In mid-March, the luxury group (Gucci, Yves Saint-Laurent, Bottega Veneta, etc.) had already announced that it was joining the thirty or so companies that had signed a charter in favour of recruiting people over 50. This time, it is turning its attention to other categories of people who find it harder to enter the job market. On 19 April, it signed a partnership charter with the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Integration, in which it undertakes to support “young people, vulnerable people or people with disabilities” in the labour market.
This agreement is based on three levers.
Via the first – 1 young person, 1 solution – Kering undertakes to recruit young people on permanent contracts, fixed-term contracts, work-study contracts or to offer them internships. Young people from priority urban areas and young people with disabilities are particularly targeted.
To “promote professional integration, diversify recruitment and change recruitment and training practices”, it will approach universities, schools and firms specialising in the employment of disabled workers throughout France.
The second lever, called “1 young person 1 mentor”, is based on an existing tutoring system, called “Giving Back”, entrusted to Kering employees at all levels of responsibility. On a voluntary basis, in partnership with associations offering mentoring, they accompany young people from secondary schools and universities. In exchange, Kering pays its employees during these mentoring hours.
Finally, the third and more general lever in favour of the integration of young people will be through support for various associations, via support activities, awareness-raising round tables and training workshops. Kering is already involved in a tutoring project with several universities in the Ile-de-France region.
“At Kering, we are working towards an ever greater diversity of our talents and we support each of them from the beginning and throughout their career. This scheme should enable us to go even further in this approach”, assured Béatrice Lazat, Kering’s Human Resources Director. “We are convinced that the diversity of our teams is a source of creativity, innovation and collective wealth, and we are pleased to pursue our commitment through concrete actions such as this one,” said Jean-François Palus, the group’s Deputy CEO.
Recently, Brigitte Klinkert, Minister Delegate in charge of Integration had welcomed in a press release “the voluntary commitment of a major group like Kering in favour of inclusion” which “strengthens our social cohesion” and stressed that “the excellence of French and European know-how in each of Kering’s businesses can be a compass for many young people or people in integration”.
At the end of 2019, Kering had given a strong signal on the subject of insertion by creating the position of Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Talent, entrusted to the American Kalpana Bagamane Denzel, an ex-management consultant from Andersen Consulting, Procter and Gamble and the recruitment firm Russel Reynolds Associates, where she had co-managed the Diversity and Inclusion department.
