Career development

One of Pernod Ricard’s main objectives is to challenge and motivate its employees by giving them responsibilities that match their skills and professional ambitions.

Pernod Ricard has adopted a decentralised organisational structure to secure greater operational efficiency. As a result, employees can pursue career opportunities in Group subsidiaries around the world.

Mobility

Pernod Ricard strives to develop the careers of its employees in each subsidiary and across the organisation, whatever the country of origin or the position held.

For this reason, vacant positions are offered preferentially to Group employees. All open management positions are reported to the Human Resources department of each subsidiary, which can then submit applications from executives in their own company.

Internal mobility, particularly on an international scale, promotes the development of new skills and empowers teams.  By encouraging mobility, Pernod Ricard strives to strengthen the individual talents and abilities of its employees.

To do so, the Group’s Human Resources departments have access to shared skills management tools :

• a HR information system, HRIS, dedicated to monitoring the career trajectories of the Group’s 2,500 managers,

• a business intelligence decision-making tool called “sHakeR”, that allows HR teams from all of the Group’s companies to optimise their skills management decisions.

Promotion

• Identifying the professional experience and language capabilities of Group employees,
• evaluating skills and professional qualifications,
• evaluating the potential for development and mobility,
• defining an individual development plan.
