Interview

Catherine Mathieu

Human Resources Director

Do you have any specific management procedures that encourage an entrepreneurial business spirit?

"It’s foremost due to the personalities of our managers whom allows us to behave in this way. They have an entrepreneurial spirit and use their own initiative to get things done.
There’s no method as such but we have, above all, an organisational model which encourages this behaviour as well as a light corporate structure (10 members of personnel) in relation to the 2700 employees around the world. This stimulates individual responsibility and autonomy and the need to make decisions by oneself."

Which of the “trio”- “local roots”, “global spirit and consistency” and “cultural mix” - characterises the most ParexGroup in terms of its partnership management?

"To ensure global consistency, it’s necessary to have a network. We are developing an HR network across marketing, R&D, purchasing, industrial…which allows us to not only share best practice but to also create a feeling of belonging and to share a common vision. These networks spread in time and the people that play a part in them contribute more and more as they can see real benefits and results."

Can you give us a top-line on HR management within ParexGroup?

"We have loyal employees and our annual turnover is below that of our key competitors and even in emerging markets which are extremely dynamic and where unemployment is very low or doesn’t exist.
Until now, our recruitment policy has been local, with the exception of management, for which the Group evaluates the capacity to evolve by moving into another role within a country or a region.
All our employees have individual objectives to achieve and also share objectives, for example safety.
Finally, we put a lot of effort into developing programmes and training. This allows our employees to grow and to adapt to the new demands of our industry. In particular, the management of our R&D teams is considered very important because adapting to constant change is not easy."
