Conviviality at work

Conviviality, it's our thing

At Pernod Ricard, we have our own way of doing things. We call it “conviviality”.

As createur de convivialité, we are committed to better reflect the richness of our society, the marketplace, and communities in which we operate. We believe that it is the best way to build effective teams, understand our consumers by market and sustainably grow our business.

A Global Roadmap

Our Global roadmap with 3 clear priorities allows our teams around the world to pursue a common goal with global objectives. At the same time, it provides the necessary flexibility to respect local contexts and employee needs.

Equitable processes

We continue building a skills & performance-based organization by enriching our company with effective teams and skills to sustainably grow our business and prepare for the future. We grow our Talent enhancing their skill sets while providing equal opportunity for development and growth.

To do so, we foster equal opportunities to ensure successful and rewarding careers for you and every Pernod Ricard employee. Our talent development and management processes are designed to be fair, objective, consistent and equitable through every step of your employment, from recruitment to development plan to career development.

Growing our Talent with equitable processes:

Global Talent management process: Pernod Ricard’s affiliates follow the same global talent management process, and we continuously monitor the number of employees who have had a talent review and been given an individual development plan to ensure they receive adequate learning development.
Our Strategic Talent Review: The annual global strategic talent review process and succession planning is a strategic business priority for senior management. These talent processes focus on assessing, identifying and preparing the future leaders in the business.
A Horizons for all: On top of equitable processes established globally, Pernod Ricard provides its employees with a Global Talent marketplace to reinforce opportunities for growth and development. Based on Skills and powered by AI, it allows each employee to find mentor to develop new competencies, participate in projects and get visibility or receive learning opportunities. The final goal is to provide a Horizon for all, based on skills and competencies and offers tailor-made development and career opportunities aligned with the professional and personal aspirations of each employee.

Pernod Ricard represents 126 nationalities across 75 countries. We are open to the world and know that together we can make great things happen. Our ambition is for each person who works with us to be their true selves and feel heard, valued and safe.

Conviviality is a key part of our culture as a company. It means feeling empowered to bring your most unique and authentic self to every occasion. It means having a passion for challenge and collectively making great things happen.
It means collaboration – sometimes from across the room and sometimes from across the globe. It’s the Pernod Ricard way, and it’s rooted in every one of us who works here.
