Human capital
Embracing diversity
Mersen is a large human patchwork, representing a genuine melting pot of different genders, ages and cultures. This diversity makes it possible to harness all types of intelligence and creativity in order to develop unique solutions. But this is a never-ending task on which the Group is constantly working.
- Mersen has not resigned itself to accepting the limited number of women in management positions in industry. Indeed, the Group is taking bold measures to increase the number of women in management positions and wants to establish new working models better reconciling the home and working lives of employees.
- With its significant population of seniors, Mersen must rise to two challenges: planning the late stages of its employees’ careers to eliminate unduly strenuous tasks and making sure they pass on their technical expertise.
- Mersen, which regularly outsources work to specialized workshops, aims to employ a growing number of disabled employees. To this end, it forged a partnership with the Arpeje H association in France during late 2009.
- Mersen’s global reach naturally enhances its cultural diversity. Mersen manages this diversity by fostering cooperation between employees in different countries and different teams, encouraging geographical mobility and respecting minorities present within it.
