Calyon, a responsible employer
Calyon is a company that respects the values of the society in which it operates. Our actions are guided by principles that aim to make the business perform effectively, with an important emphasis on ethics and social responsibility.
A team focused on innovation and performance
Calyon and Crédit Agricole Group base their corporate strategy on principles of professional ethics both inside and outside the company.
- Dynamism: with dynamism we can lead the way, challenging ourselves and accepting our differences in our constant pursuit of progress and innovation.
- Determination: with determination we can make decisions and back them up, make commitments and keep them.
- Expertise: technical and behavioral skills are indispensable in contributing professional, relevant solutions in a highly specialized environment.
- Cohesiveness: with cohesiveness we can act in the wider interest, work as a team and build success together.
All Calyon employees are called to make these principles a living reality in the workplace every day. Through them, we invest our actions with meaning.
Employing everyone's skills
Our system includes adapted workstations, use of new technologies and specific help to optimize each person’s career path (training, behavioral assistance, etc.). Finally, we regularly call upon sheltered workshops for help with certain tasks (photocopying, events, recycling, etc.).
In the 2005-2007 period, the Group came close to achieving its objectives in terms of recruitment. Calyon France focused its efforts on adapting offices and workstations, making our main buildings more accessible and adapting our HR software to the needs of the visually impaired.
For us, more than ever, skills are blind to disability.
Reflecting society's diversity
At Calyon, we aim to treat all our employees equally in matters of recruitment, compensation, training and career development. Neither gender, age, national origins nor disability will stand in the way of a career with us.
Our determination to favor diversity is spelled out in the Group’s Diversity Charter. A Diversity Club was launched in 2008 as a place to exchange ideas and best practices, and to coordinate our actions. We also have an external recruitment tool, “Talents,” which helps us to monitor our diversity. In addition to these measures, we are constantly promoting awareness and initiatives in this area at management level
Gender equality in the workplace is currently the area in which we have made the most progress. We are committed to equality in the area of starting salaries. We have begun to work on our commitment to reduce differences in compensation among long-serving employees, with the goal of eliminating all inequality by the end of 2009.
At Calyon, diversity is a reality and will continue to play an instrumental role.
