The SPIE group is positioned on megatrends that are shaping the economy

We have worked hard on enhancing SPIE's appeal to encourage talented people to join and, above all, stay within the Group, through promoting recruitment, referrals, retention - of young people in particular - and work/study contracts. Employee shareholding plays an important role in the broad range of measures we are putting in place, as it enables our employees to share in the company's success over the long term. Collectively, employees are our largest shareholder and the "SHARE FOR YOU 2023" campaign saw record participation, with more than 17,000 people from 14 countries reaffirming their confidence in SPIE's future and their attachment to the company. As part of the work on our company's purpose, during workshops attended by almost 700 people at all levels of the company, I was able to see just how important pride in our profession and the concept of trust were for the participants: trust in the company, trust in the teams and being a trusted partner for our customers. We need to build on these commitment levers by providing employees with a clear idea of the role of our businesses in driving the energy transition. In a world where people are, quite rightly, searching for meaning, this seems to me to be of the utmost importance.
