Our HR policy

How can we define ARD's HR policy?

ARD has a proactive HR policy with two complementary pillars: Helping young people enter the job market and developing and promoting internal talent.

Helping young people enter the job market

Thanks to a proactive and forward-looking human resources policy, every year, ARD helps young students by offering them long-term work placements or block-release training contracts.
These work placements can be with various departments in the company, in particular R&D.
Attracting talent thanks to the targeted recruitment of highly qualified candidates also helps ARD improve its teams with experts and continue to grow sustainably.

An ambitious training policy

ARD makes ongoing professional training and career development a priority for its employees. This is due to an ambitious personnel management policy, both regarding the challenges and the development of the company's activities, as well as the career development  and personal development of employees throughout their time with the company.
There are several permanent training objectives:

• Improving business expertise (updating and perfecting techniques, project management, etc.)
• Managerial training for supervisors
• Hygiene, health and safety - a crucial field in ARD's business

Career management

Good career management is vital for the long-term success of a company. ARD's HR policy, and in particular the management of human resources, has a particular focus on its employees' development.  Employees meet their manager twice a year. As well as the annual performance appraisal, an annual development interview is organised in order to discuss the employees' career plans and help them work towards them.
