A deep organisational transformation

Offering our customers direct access to a retail bank relationship manager, which results in:

  • More regular feed-back;
  • Greater responsibility and greater cross-functionality;
  • Faster decision-making;
  • New workspaces and more remote work.

  

Our actions

An unprecedented approach, mobilising pioneering teams in the entities, in France and internationally, to test new management and organisational practices proving greater value for customers, for employees and for the company.

A strengthened framework of trust

It results in:

  • Social dialogue built on transparency and partnership;
  • Strong commitments in terms of social and gender diversity and integration, notably in favour of young people.

 

Our actions

A diversity policy that is bearing fruit: the Group is one of the top 50 companies in the SBF 120 in terms of the number of decision-making bodies helmed by women. Crédit Agricole S.A. moved up to 38th place in the contest, extending its +52 place rise since 2015.

  • A remote psychological unit;
  • Psychological support dedicated to employees with disabilities;
  • The CA Ma Santé application for beneficiaries of the Crédit Agricole S.A. Group supplementary health plan;

A FEW WORDS FROM…

… Bénédicte Chretien, Head of Human Resources

“The new expectations by society that have emerged since the beginning of the health crisis demonstrate the importance and strength of our Human-centric Project, which was launched before the pandemic. Our Human-centric Project is based on an in-depth managerial transformation that organizes responsibility locally, i.e. the ability to appreciate situations, to show discernment and courage in the face of the infinite diversity of situations, and to make the best possible decisions in the interest of the company and the customer. In 2020 the Crédit Agricole Group reached a milestone with Act I of the Human-centric Project, which defined the principles of the target management model. We have successfully brought on board all of Crédit Agricole S.A.’s senior managers (Executive Committee, Management Committee, Circle 1), who are themselves transforming their leadership and management methods and enabling the simplification of their organisations. To accelerate this cultural, managerial and organisational transformation, we have opted this year for an unprecedented approach involving 1,500 pioneers as well as an active and committed middle management team. As a result, we have been able to grasp more performance through collective intelligence, individual responsibility and cooperation between teams.”
