Vivendi

Vivendi’s business units are in constant evolution, and are obliged to restructure from time to time in order to reconcile the group’s economic and social imperatives. This takes the form of implementing appropriate job transition aids and programs.

• Activision Blizzard
  Following the reorganisation that resulted in the creation of Activision Blizzard in July 2008, Activision Blizzard’s General Management and Human Resources department supported an innovative initiative taken on by employees – the creation of the website Talented-people.org. Taking advantage of their knowledge and experience, employees who had left the group – in particular former employees of the Vivendi Games Mobile development studio – created a Web site on which they posted their profiles and résumés, thus greatly increasing their visibility on the job market. Buoyed by its success (barely one month after the site went on line, each person had received an average of two offers for job interviews), the site is now open to other business sectors and companies, who thus can also accompany their former employees in their new career projects.

• Maroc Telecom
  At Maroc Telecom, 1,295 employees opted for voluntary departure between 2005 and 2008. 912 left at the end of the 2005 voluntary departure plan and 383 left the company under the 2007 plan. The major voluntary departure job transition aids and programs were repeated in 2008 – buy-back of employer contributions to voluntary insurance for qualification for early retirement; priority affiliation with the reseller network; priority (in conformity with regulations in force) given to spin-off projects in telecommunications (subcontracting of local networks, operation of téléboutique sales outlets or cyber-spaces, etc.) The mobility policy implemented by the Human Resources department enabled the rationalisation of the workforce while supporting evolutions in the company. In 2008, 1,039 employees took advantage of internal mobility, distributed as follows: 509 changed jobs, 239 changed assignments, 291 changed both job and assignment.
