Training

Pernod Ricard encourages professional development for all employees.
Throughout their careers, Group employees can take advantage of training sessions organised locally by subsidiaries or at the Pernod Ricard Training Centre.

Pernod Ricard Professional Training Centre (CFPR)


 

The CFPR is located in the château de La Voisine, in the Rambouillet forest near Paris
The mission of this training centre is to develop the skills of Group employees across the organisation.

The CFPR provides training in fields including marketing, finance, human resources, purchasing, quality, legal, communications, public speaking, personal development and management. Each course is adapted to the specific needs of the wines and spirits sector and is available in French, English and Spanish.
Pernod Ricard calls on external partners to deliver these courses. For example, HEC Executive Education provides marketing and finance training. 
In 2006-2007, nearly 500 employees from around the world participated in 37 different training sessions.

The CFPR is a place for knowledge sharing, where Group employees come together and exchange ideas in a convivial setting. The Centre generates a sense of team spirit and is a valuable asset for a decentralised Group like Pernod Ricard.


Management training in collaboration with INSEAD

A new senior management training scheme was launched in 2006-2007 in collaboration with INSEAD. Around 30 employees took part.
The programme focuses on strategic thinking in a competitive, international environment, change management and innovation development. The course took place over three weeks in Singapore, the USA and France.

Induction Seminars

Induction seminars are held for new employees as well as for executives taking on new responsibilities in an international role. These seminars are designed to:

  • provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the Group, its operations and the stakes linked to its development,
  • introduce participants to Pernod Ricard’s culture: conviviality, decentralisation and entrepreneurship.
    Participants meet the Managing Directors and Management Committees of the Holding Group, regional Holdings and the main Brand Owner companies.





Conviviality, Entrepreneurship
