- The 2018 DAEC will be in line with
the measures provided for under the New Momentum for Growth
agreement covering the period 2017-2019.
Regulatory News:
Groupe PSA’s (Paris:UG) Central Works Committee today issued a
favourable opinion on the 2018 DAEC after five out of six trade
unions – CFDT, CFE/CGC, CFTC, FO and GSEA – signed the
agreement. The outcome illustrates the maturity of labour
relations within Groupe PSA and its active commitment to
working alongside employee representatives.
The 2018 DAEC is in line with the 2017 system, which
expires on 31 January 2018. It is based on the same measures
provided under the New Momentum for Growth agreement, signed in
July 2016, and takes into account recent regulatory changes.
The system demonstrates Groupe PSA’s responsible employment
policy, based on securing the professional future of its
employees, externally and internally. Its purpose is to
anticipate major changes in the automotive industry and strengthen
people’s employability at each stage of their working lives.
The 2018 DAEC is the 13th major agreement
signed between Groupe PSA and employee representatives in the
past twelve months.
Xavier Chéreau, Groupe PSA Executive Vice-President, Human
Resources, said of this step forward in social dialogue: “The
agreement signed today with five trade unions reflects the momentum
we’ve generated over the past few years working together with
employee representatives. The quality of our dialogue with the
unions and the mutual trust we’ve built over the years give the
Group a genuine competitive advantage which is helping us to move
ahead. Together we will shape the Group’s future and secure its
performance and sustainability.
Commitments in France for 2018, in keeping with the 2017
DAEC:
- More than 1,300 new hires under permanent contracts, including
400 in manufacturing, to drive the commercial success of new
models
- At least half of entry-level positions filled by the Group’s
former interns or work-study employees, with the hiring of at least
2,000 young people
- More than 6,000 internal transfers and over 1,000 internal
retraining courses
- Secure around 1,300 outplacements (through retraining leave,
business creation and career transition passports)
The number of new hires and voluntary outplacements will
therefore be balanced, and commitments to internal retraining and
secure outplacement options will be maintained, backed by the same
support programmes.
