Inclusion through health
At Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, we endeavour to create a supportive and understanding working environment where everyone can find fulfilment. We understand that individual well-being plays a part in collective success, which is why we take into consideration the challenges employees may be facing in their lives, either at work or at home.
Moreover, as demographics change, people are working longer and longer, and expectations are evolving, we take a fresh look at our employees’ career journeys.
“At Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, we strive to create enduring careers for all, including people living with long-term illnesses or disabilities. This means adapting the way we do things, listening, supporting as well as respecting the abilities and lived experiences of every employee.â€

Disability in the workplace
We are committed to:
- keeping employees who become unfit to do their job in work
- recruiting people with disabilities
- outsourcing to companies that employ a majority of people with disabilities
With support from Trajeo’h, the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Group disability structure.

Long-term illnesses
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ became the first building and civil engineering company to sign the Cancer@Work charter.
The aim is to promote knowledge and shift perceptions of cancer and chronic diseases while providing a welcoming and supportive environment for people living with such conditions.

Mental health
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has led the way in preventing and responding to psychosocial risks. At many Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ sites, we brief and train managers and have put in place a series of measures including setting up hotlines, providing psychological support and running campaigns around mental health.
