On Monday, 14 September 2015, Xavier Chéreau, Executive Vice
President Human Resources at PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) and
Alain Roumilhac, Chairman of ManpowerGroup entered into an
agreement to form a groundbreaking partnership to secure the career
paths of 300 agency workers who will be assigned to work at PSA
Peugeot Citroën's production facilities. This partnership builds on
the existing alliance between the two groups, which until now
focused on standard temporary work. By the end of 2015, Manpower
will have hired 100 employees on permanent agency contracts for
assignment at the Sochaux plant. The agency aims to take on a
further 100 in 2016 to form part of a new weekend team for the
Mulhouse plant and an additional 100 for PSA's various plants in
2017.
These permanent agency contracts, which aim to guarantee
long-term employment both at PSA Peugeot Citroën plants and in the
surrounding areas via regional mobility platforms, will improve
flexibility at the Group's plants and enhance its economic
performance as a result.
A study will be conducted at the Sochaux plant to assess
flexibility requirements at the various stages of the car
manufacturing process and to bridge the transition from internal
job postings at PSA Peugeot Citroën plants to external assignments
in the surrounding communities. The findings will be used to define
methods that can be applied at the Group's other plants in
France.
This partnership is fully consistent with the agreement signed
between temporary employment agencies and trade unions on 10 July
2013 aimed at securing the career paths of agency workers. This
agreement was later reinforced by the French Act of 17 August 2015
on social dialogue and employment, which sets out the legislative
provisions applicable to permanent agency contracts. The
partnership is therefore aligned with the French government's drive
to reform the labour market.
Commenting on the partnership,
Xavier Chéreau said: "A commitment to people and society is
vital for a company's economic performance. I am delighted that PSA
has signed this groundbreaking partnership, which will enable us to
meet our social responsibility goals by giving people access to a
permanent employment contract. We have worked closely with Manpower
to develop new solutions that benefit workers while contributing to
PSA's goal of getting back in the race and competing against the
best."
Alain Roumilhac said: "This innovative, forward-thinking
partnership with PSA illustrates our shared vision for this new
type of employment, prioritising both our workers' long-term
employability and our clients' economic performance. This
collaboration is a testament to ManpowerGroup's ability to support
companies in adapting their HR strategy and achieving their
goals in this area."
