People-driven performance

Reliability and responsiveness

In response to the crisis, we have put in place appropriate health measures to safeguard the continuity of our activities while protecting our employees, both in France and internationally, in close cooperation with employee representatives.

Our joint efforts have enabled us to provide seamless in-service aircraft support, to continue to make deliveries, and to maintain all our civil and military aircraft programs.

Our ability to adapt has also been demonstrated by our introduction of large-scale telecommuting. Specific training has been provided to support employees working from home and to combat the problem of isolation.

A motivating social model

Carrying on the social model instituted by Marcel Dassault, our compensation policy rewards and encourages employee loyalty, while remaining attuned to changing circumstances and the economic environment. A significant share of earnings is distributed to the employees of our French companies based on highly attractive profit-sharing agreements.

The average annual gross compensation for employees is approximately 57,800 euros. With profit-sharing and incentive schemes, it exceeds 73,000 euros in our Group’s French companies.

Ongoing social dialogue

Despite the pandemic, three major agreements were extended in 2020. These three-year agreements cover, respectively, strategic workforce and career planning, gender equality in the workplace, and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Transmitting know-how

In 2020, we continued to recruit new talent.

In order to maintain our level of technical excellence and versatility, our Dassault Conservatory supplements initial training with courses designed to pass on our technical know-how and quality standards.

In India, we are involved in high-level technical training: three “Networks of Excellence,” bringing together Indian and French engineering schools; an Aeronautical Structure and Equipment Fitter diploma program in Nagpur, with the support our Dassault Skill Academy.

Talent spotting

Employee ambassadors are working with students, engineering faculty and technical teaching staff to adapt curricula to the needs of the aerospace industry, to promote our company and its businesses, and to spot future talent.

Diversity and equal opportunity

A large portion of our Group’s staff is recruited from engineering schools in which the proportion of women is still structurally low. Consequently, we are involved in a number of initiatives, particularly in partnership with the Elles bougent and AirEmploi associations, to encourage female secondary school students to take up careers in engineering.

Inclusion, cultural and humanitarian activities

We champion a broad range of societal initiatives.

In terms of humanitarian work, we provided Falcon aircraft to support Aviation Sans Frontières (ASF) and the government’s Résilence program during the Covid-19 health crisis.

We assisted the people of Beirut through our support for the Nawraj association.

We also provide funding to the Course du cœur organ donation initiative and the Rêves de gosse program.
On the cultural front, we also support the AAE foundation and the French National Maritime Museum.
