DEVELOPING HUMAN CAPITAL
The Group focuses on recruiting the best talent, for
all its business lines, from engineers to digital & data
scientists, through industrial operators, to sales
representatives and supply chain specialists. Saint-
Gobain then relies on its ability to continuously train
and nurture its employees and help them grow,
through improved listening and more personalized
monitoring. The Group regularly measures the
satisfaction and commitment of its teams; in 2022, it
recorded a record employee engagement index of
84%. For the 8th consecutive year, the Group was
"Top Employer Global" certified. Saint-Gobain's goal
is clear: to have the best teams in a diverse and
inclusive work environment. In 2022, the percentage
of women among managers at Group level was
27.4%; for the 5th consecutive year, Saint-Gobain was
also included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality
Index.
FOSTERING A CULTURE OF TRUST,
EMPOWERMENT AND COLLABORATION
The evolution of Saint-Gobain's model, the
deployment of its decentralized organization,
the crucial nature of the innovation approach,
its performance ambition and its determination
to create an exciting and inclusive working
environment are all elements that require a work
culture based on trust, empowerment and
collaboration. This approach, called TEC, is therefore
one of the levers used to implement the "Grow
& Impact" strategic plan. It involves promoting
reciprocity and virtuous collaborative behavior,
which should make it possible to free individual
energies within its teams and foster participation
in the development of collective intelligence.
DEPLOYING A MULTI-LOCAL MODEL
Saint-Gobain developed its organization in view of
its customers and therefore by geographical region,
for its regional businesses, and by Business Units
worldwide within the "High Performance Solutions"
division, for its global business lines. The Group's
corporate governance model confers strong local
autonomy, with a simplified structure and Chief
Executive Officers who most often are from the region
in which they operate. This organization is
complemented at the global level by the strength
of an international group, able to detect and share
best practices, test new models, deploy a training
offer based on a global pool of expertise, and deploy
cross-functional platforms and shared service centers.
SEARCHING FOR SYNERGIES
The generalization of a new managerial culture
enables Saint-Gobain to promote synergies across
all dimensions of its business.
This applies notably to the support functions (with
unique customer services, shared online stores and
shared logistics), sales organizations (by developing
combined offers), but also the innovation process,
making it possible to combine different businesses
and different countries to develop new solutions and
new business models.
