Fairness

Develop a fair and sustainable business operating model that benefits our patients, residents and their families, our employees and other stakeholders for all our business lines and investment decisions.

Training and career development

Develop and increase the number of qualifying training paths and modules in order to improve the employability and career development of employees, both internally and externally.

Developing employability through training is an essential part of Clariane’s employer promise. 

The year 2022 was a record year for skills training: 6,800 Clariane employees in Europe took part in a qualifying course, i.e. nearly 12% of employees and almost three times as many as in 2019 (4%). The training courses offered by Clariane Academy are numerous and varied in nature. A large part is dedicated to care professions and those of the hotel and restaurant industries.

The initial training of young people is a strong focus of this training policy and mainly takes the form of apprenticeships, intended in particular for healthcare assistants and cooks. In total, the number of apprentices within the Group represented 5% of FTEs at the end of December 2022.

Next steps

  • Continue to invest in access to training to provide at least 7,000 employees each year with the opportunity to engage in a qualifying training paths.
  • Create new qualification paths, in collaboration with partner training institutions. 

Value-sharing

Reinvest a significant part of the company’s profits in our mission of care and allow our employees to become shareholders in their company in order to ensure the continuity of the company’s mission and redistribute some of the value that employees help us create.

The Group’s value-sharing policy aims to strike the right balance between reinvesting the company’s profits in our care mission and distributing them to shareholders providing the financial support necessary to implement this mission. 

Its value-sharing mechanisms specifically recognise each individual’s contribution to value creation and are a way to more closely involve employees in the long-term results of the transformation and innovation projects carried out by the Group. 

In 2022, Clariane introduced its first employee shareholding plan. This plan, called KORUS 2022, allowed employees to become indirect shareholders of the Group with preferential conditions. Almost 15% of eligible employees took part in the programme, i.e. more than 9,250 employees, bringing employee shareholding to 3%. 

Next steps

  • Continue to develop employee shareholding.
  • Reinforce transparency on profit reinvestment within our mission of care.
