Team spirit
OUR HR CULTURE
The working atmosphere
The restaurant and hotel business is always fast-paced. The working atmosphere is therefore key to making the difference. We're convinced that we can do things seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously, while keeping our focus on the customer, quality and performance.
Seasonal employment
Every year, we recruit and integrate into our teams around a hundred young seasonal workers with little or no experience. We offer them, as well as our permanent employees, ongoing training courses that enable them to discover the Group's different professions. For example, kitchen jobs such as commis de cuisine, chef de partie, second de cuisine, chef de cuisine... But also the job of waiter, whose role is to welcome and serve customers in the dining room and liaise with the kitchen team. Or takeaway sales or hotel professions, such as hotel receptionists, who welcome, advise and accompany customers throughout their stay.
Our training courses
Our training programmes enable our seasonal employees to develop their skills in our various professions and to discover the realities on the ground in our different establishments, so that they are fully qualified at the end of the season. Many of our permanent employees, including our managers, have had their first experience of seasonal work in our establishments. This experience has enabled them to discover a vocation and gradually progress to permanent positions, with greater responsibility and better pay.
Promoting diversity
We have defined a working framework and a corporate culture that promotes diversity in the Group within our workforce and equality between the men and women who make up our company. The professional equality index enables companies to measure the differences in pay and situations between women and men, and highlights areas for improvement. The gender equality indexfor 2023 gives La Mère Poulard Group a very favourable score of 88 / 100.
The results in detail:
Pay gap: 40 / 40
Difference in the rate of individual increases: 25 / 35
Percentage of employees receiving a pay rise in the year following their return from maternity leave: 0 / 0
Number of employees of the under-represented sex among the 10 employees with the highest salaries: 10 / 10

our values
OUR 5 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
Motivation
We spend a lot of time at work. In a friendly and dynamic spirit, we organise challenges and competitions from time to time. The aim is for you to enjoy coming to work each morning while improving your efficiency and performance. We also organise social events from time to time. For example, at the end of the season, we all get together. Other small events are also organised for the end-of-year festivities.
Dialogue and individual expression
We believe that every employee has real added value. So it's important that you can express yourself freely within the company and that you can take part in the various day-to-day processes. We are well aware that it is by working together that we can improve the life of the company and well-being at work. With this in mind, we have set up department meetings and an ideas box where you can express yourself freely.
Developing yourself
For us, it's vital that you find your place in the organisation and that you can develop professionally. That's why you'll have the opportunity to train and develop your skills in our various establishments. As you may have already realised, welcoming people is a tradition for us. We are used to welcoming seasonal workers and young people just starting out in the world of work. We will train you and give you all the keys you need to succeed and contribute to the life of the company.
The digital world
Because digitalisation is one of the main challenges facing companies over the next few years, we want to develop the use of digital tools in everyday life. The idea is to help you gradually learn how to use these new practices.
Respect for diversity and inclusion
Diversity is an asset for the company. We are committed to non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all.
