Well-being at work & benefits

Performance and well-being characterize Edenred's ambition towards its customers and employees alike. Improving the quality of working life, financial security and employee commitment worldwide is therefore a major challenge for Edenred.  
With this in mind, the Group's HR strategy is built around 3 pillars: attract, develop, engage.

The ambition shared by countries is to engage in recognition and visibility initiatives such as Best Place to Work or Top Employer, in other words, “to be a company where one enjoys working”. To achieve this, Edenred places the well-being, physical and mental health and safety of its employees at the heart of its concerns.

 

Listening to employees is taken into account through a questionnaire sent to all Group employees. This survey, Edenvoice, is carried out every 2 years and is used to draw up concrete action plans to improve employees' well-being in the workplace and reduce stress. These surveys are supplemented by quarterly Pulse Surveys in certain entities to measure employee well-being and stress levels at a more local level, in order to build concrete plans that are as close as possible to the teams concerned.

Numerous actions are carried out worldwide to optimize organization, compensation, benefits, autonomy, trust between teams, management transparency and pride of belonging.

 

Promoting a healthy work-life balance

Edenred works to ensure employees enjoy a positive work-life balance in accordance with local policies and regulations. Examples of initiatives implemented across the 45 Edenred countries include, for example, the opportunity for employees to benefit from certain teleworking days depending on their functions, measures linked to parenthood and childcare, the provision of concierge services and wellness benefits: sports and dance classes, workshops on developing a healthy and balanced diet, the provision of fruit, massage or subsidies for sporting activities

Promoting workplace health and safety

At Edenred, we believe that a safe, healthy workplace is key to allowing teams to perform effectively. Group subsidiaries adapt this principle to meet local needs and focus their initiatives on four key areas:

  1. preventing occupational risks,
  2. preventing psychosocial risks,
  3. providing healthcare coverage,
  4. organization of work.

Benefiting from the excellence of Edenred services

Employees are our main ambassadors and often the first to enjoy the benefits and solutions offered in their country of employment. These benefits make life easier for employees and incentivize and reward their performance, improve their purchasing power as well as facilitate their travel when taking full advantage of Edenred’s Mobility solutions.

Rewarding outstanding performance

Every year since 2012, employees and teams have had the opportunity to be recognized at internal awards ceremonies. There are two types of awards.

On the one hand, the Ewards, which aim to reward employees who have carried out an exceptional action with a significant impact. Secondly, the Value Awards recognize teams who have exemplified Edenred's 5 values.

These employees and teams are chosen from all the Group's subsidiaries, right up to Executive level (top management). The final selection for the Ewards is made by the Executive Committee, reflecting the importance attached to individuals. For the Value Awards, projects are submitted to an online vote involving Edenred's top management, to highlight the strength of the collective.

In 2024, 14 employees received an Eward and five teams a Value Award.
