Employees with disabilities

Integrating persons with disabilities (whether physical or mental) and combating discrimination against them are important principles within the Group. All business units have committed to these principles by implementing a responsible and sustainable policy, including awareness campaigns for employees and managers, as well as by partnering with non-profit organizations to foster the employment and integration of persons with disabilities.

Since 2018, Vivendi has been a partner of the association LADAPT, which organizes the European Week for Employment of People with Disabilities.

Nurturing talent

Vivendi firmly believes that its greatest strength is a direct result of the dedication of the women and men it employs and that each person’s talent contributes to its success.

Therefore, we strive to offer all employees experiences, career paths and growth opportunities that are in line with their aspirations, with the aim of encouraging sharing, agility and cross-functionality, thus providing opportunities for expression and creativity.

To this end, the HR teams at Vivendi and all our business units are implementing various actions to identify and attract talented people and to develop and retain them.
