Careers

The HR policy of La Française is steeped in the DNA of its team, which upholds the values of community, accessibility and effectiveness. It pays special attention to the social climate and demonstrates its drive to be part of the action!

My Career at La Française

Onboarding

Right from the start, our employees are guided through a defined path that provides:

• a welcome meeting with their manager
• dedicated discussion time with a payroll manager
• the introductory morning
• check-ins with HR and management

Throughout your career, we are here to offer you personal guidance via several resources:

Job Training

La Française is solidly focused on training and motivating its employees, to offer greater professionalism in line with its clients' expectations and foster career progression through skills development. Our dynamic training policy represents the diversity of business lines in the Group and results in a significant investment in Continuing Professional Development.

Support for managers

The Group's managers benefit from a special support programme that promotes leadership, caring, and innovation in their managerial practices. This system is part of disseminating a common managerial culture. They are also supported on a daily basis by the HR teams, who help them respond specifically to their issues and challenges.

Mobility and Career Development

At La Française, the mobility process fits in with our drive toward personalised support. It is a reality for the Group and is considered on a case-by-case basis at every level. Our success stories are many: a change in business lines, developments within a position (increased responsibilities, adjusted scope, projects, etc.), even a step into management.

Students at La Française

The goal of our HR policy is to attract and retain talented young people. We develop partnerships with schools and universities that target our core business. We regularly attend school job forums and hiring events.

Because immersion is important for our students, we offer opportunities with rich and varied responsibilities, as well as an environment that helps them develop their skills and promotes personal growth.

In this regard, La Française is proud of creating and leading its student community, the Blue Buds, where interns and work-study trainees can get together.
We hire proactive students with a specific interest in financial services and an ability to adapt to our corporate culture for 6-12-month internships.
