The women and men of Saft, a shared ambition

Our Human Resources policy is based on a deep conviction: the women and men of Saft are the energy that drives our Company forward. We can only succeed if we create the conditions for our employees to express and develop their potential. 

Being closer to our employees

Talent developers are as close as possible to employees in order to provide individualized support and to accompany each of them in their professional career. A transparent system for disseminating job offers makes all the vacancies visible and offers everyone the freedom to apply after a minimum of two years in their position. A professional assessment is scheduled from three years of seniority, then every 10 years, in order to help build professional projects, identify possible career developments and the means to achieve them.

Our culture of apprenticeship, particularly among our technical teams, encourages the ongoing training of our employees and is one of the best guarantees of their employability. This does not prevent us from innovating and digitizing our training courses when appropriate. For example, Saft offers a gamified Lean Manufacturing training program for all its 4,300 employees. Whether we're an operator or a manager, we all contribute to the company's operational excellence and success.

We are proud to have been able to offer nearly 3 days of training to all our employees in 2023, thanks in particular to this new program!

Diversity and inclusion: everyone's business!

Convinced that respect for others means recognizing the diversity and specificities of each and every individual, we are also aware that inclusion fosters the motivation and performance of our teams!  

We recruit all over the world and all of our employees benefit from the same career opportunities. We are committed not only to respecting differences but even more, to valuing them.

Promoting collective intelligence while giving everyone the opportunity to express their potential, allows everyone, like our Company, to innovate and succeed in the high-tech battery industry.
