The European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH) took place from November 14 to 20. The entire week was dedicated to raising awareness of conditions that are often misunderstood, particularly visual and hearing impairments.
On this occasion, we brought together our employees from various locations for a number of activities:
• “Let’s Sign Together”workshop : a fun introduction to the basics of sign language using a card game, offered at all our locations.
• The Guide Dogs for the Blind of Île-de-France visited our site in Ivry-sur-Seine to raise employee awareness of the challenges faced by visually impaired and blind people in their daily lives, through a presentation of the association, its missions, and a demonstration. We were fortunate enough to witness a demonstration by one of the association’s dog trainers with Slam, one of the dogs in training. Also present was Eric Obstetar, Logistics Director at Grands Moulins de Paris, the foster family for Taïka, another dog in training to become a guide dog. This was an opportunity for all employees to gain an understanding of the work the association does to help and support people with visual impairments. Additionally, a donation drive was organized to benefit this association.
• Our Marseille location has also launched a bake sale to raise funds forAPAR, the Association for Autism Prevention and Research.
We also took advantage of SEEPH 2022 to launch an internal contest to highlight diversity as part of our disability policy.
This gave our employees the opportunity to help design our “Diversity” logo, as our priority is to demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion across all our sites.
