ENGAGING OUR EMPLOYEES

We believe change comes first and foremost from our own structures. This is why we engage with our collaborators and ensure they have opportunities to learn and develop their talents in an inclusive and safe working environment. Alongside teaching ancestral watchmaking and jewellery craftsmanship to new generations, we make sure our team members have the up-to-date knowledge they need to be part of the collective change.

TRAINING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

As an independent and highly vertically integrated Maison, we are in the unique position to be able to guarantee control of all processes, from design to distribution. This involves over 50 different crafts practised across three manufacturing sites hence our strong commitment to in-house training and savoir-faire.

FAQs

Our mission has been to preserve, pass on and promote exceptional craftsmanship since 1980, when our Maison created the first luxury jewellery training department. This initiative was soon followed by a specialised watchmaking training department. Every year, we train around 40 apprentices in jewellery, watchmaking, micromechanics and surface treatments. Our training policy also involves transmission of savoir-faire as knowledge is shared between different generations in our teams.

Transforming our Maison to meet the social and ecological challenges facing society and our industry is a team effort. To this end, we have launched several programmes:

  • During working hours, all employees must complete our "Together for Sustainable Luxury" e-learning training programme. This covers RJC standards, human rights, health and safety in the workplace, safety, low-carbon transition, SBTi, circular economy, diversity and inclusion, and prevention of harassment in the workplace. The AXA Climate School platform is also available to all employees who wish to further their knowledge of environmental issues.
  • We organise working groups and regular conferences on a range of subjects tailored to our various departments (e.g. organisation of quarterly seminars on responsible purchasing and co-construction of the responsible sourcing policy with the sustainability department).
  • We encourage good practice at our manufacturing sites and head office, particularly in the area of soft mobility (the Bike to Work initiative and the installation of bicycle shelters) and electric vehicles, with the installation of electric charging stations.
  • Our commitment to raising awareness among our stakeholders is also demonstrated by our external actions (e.g. regular conferences and panels at industry events such as Watches & Wonders).

We recruit people based on their skills and experience. Our flat hierarchy and management structure means there are many options to move around our business.

We also continue to work towards maintaining and improving our gender balance across all levels. These commitments are set out in more detail in our Diversity and Inclusion policy.
