24. SEEKING FOR EXCELLENCE
Our company and our environment are getting more complexe. If a market shift happens, we
will need a lot of creativity and hard work to adapt.
Thus, we believe that the more we grow, the more we need to keep our focus on recruiting
and retaining talented people with high standards. People have always been our key success
factor.

25. HOW TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN TALENTED
PEOPLE WITH HIGH STANDARDS
Attracting and retaining high standards people is not easy, especially the kind of high
standards we are looking for.
Have a positive impact and inspire
Develop employee empowerment Have a culture of excellence
Transmit & preserve our
warm culture
To do so, we believe that we need to:

26. Transmit and preserve our warm culture
The kind of talented people we are looking for are not only looking for a job, they are looking
for an intense and passionate human adventure, with exceptional colleagues.
Our habit of meeting regularly with colleagues from
different teams for sports, drinks, lunches...
Our habit of organizing office events and team
events
Our annual international whaou seminar
Our “don’t take yourself seriously” culture
Coffees (or e-coffees) for new employees to have
point of contacts in each teams and offices

share their expertise on a subject

professional or personal situation employees may face

day care, parents day, parties with your +1…)
What we want to preserve and foster:

27. Have a positive impact and inspire
The kind of talented people we are looking for want to have an impact and be part of
something they are proud of.

28. Develop employee empowerment
Talented people with high standards make very few mistakes and take good decisions, with
the company’s best interest in mind. But to do so, they need freedom to express their
creativity.
More empowerment on decision-making, eg. on
budget (no need to ask for an approval)

to explore a “work from anywhere policy”.
More support from colleagues to develop personal

believe that meeting in
person regularly is key to our
culture and our success.
Our flexible policy regarding where
people work

trial period is validated.
