Capitalizing on the experience of seniors

Safran believes that transmission of knowledge and skills from seniors to younger generations plays an essential role in positive intergenerational management.

Safran takes a proactive approach to managing employee age as an integral part of career development.
In 2009, employees 50 and over represented 32% of the Group’s workforce in France. Safran actively seeks to maintain seniors in the workforce, in a context that enables these employees to consider their professional future positively, and capitalize on their experience.

A Group-wide agreement on the employment of senior staff was signed on February 12, 2010 for a period of three years. It sets up concrete measures tu sopport senior employment, based on quantitative and qualitative objectives, as well as statistical indicators.

The main provisions of the senior employment agreement are:

  • Commitments to non-discrimination due to age, in terms of recruitment, access to training, compensation and career development.
  • Leave to undertake a professional or humanitarian project for employees 50 and older, with the agreement of their supervisors. The leave is for up to 6 monts, and includes financial aid from the company and a right to return to employment.
  • Deployment of a funded part-time work scheme, enabling volunteer employees with 10 years of seniority to work an 80% work week with 90% of their pay for the 18 months preceding their retirement. The lenght of this term is extended to 24 months for employees having worked in a team for at least 10 years.
