Disability, a lever for more diversity

The health crisis of 2020 has had an impact on the social and economic world at all levels, making certain groups, including people with disabilities, more vulnerable. In this respect, the Inetum Group has maintained its actions worldwide in favour of equal opportunities for all. To adapt to these circumstances, a targeted sourcing programme was launched to optimize the recruitment of people with disabilities.

In addition, the Inetum Group has continued to support the specialized training centres of CRP 2isa and CRP Mulhouse, by paying a portion of the apprenticeship tax.

After more than two years of partnership with Agefiph, Inetum's commitment to the employment of people with disabilities took on a new dimension at the end of the year with the signing of the first company agreement on the subject.

Existing partnerships were maintained, such as our commitment to the Tremplin association, which works to encourage more high school students with disabilities to continue their studies in higher education. The network of Mission Handicap ambassadors was called upon to let students with disabilities discover their professions, and to answer their questions.

Indirectly contributing to the professional integration of people with disabilities also received attention, with the strengthening of partnerships with structures in the adapted or protected sector. The volume of adapted digital services provided in co-contracting with companies has increased. At the end of 2020, the Group decided to entrust the recycling of waste paper from all its sites in France to the company Elise, a solidarity group with several adapted companies.

For the 24th European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities, a digital e-learning awareness programme was rolled out to all employees in France.

All of the actions carried out in recent years have contributed to a better internal knowledge of the disability policy and an increase in the number of employees declaring their situation to the company. Thus, despite a number of recruitments below the forecast for 2020, the number of people reporting at the end of the year was again up compared to previous years.
