Working life quality
as a driver for progress
As a responsible retailer, Carrefour wishes to provide each
employee with the opportunity to be fulfilled by his or her work.
To achieve this objective, the Group is careful to create the most
favourable conditions by encouraging social dialogue, listening
to its staff and providing a high-quality work environment. Carrefour
encourages its employees to develop a sense of satisfaction for
work done well and of collective motivation, entrepreneurial spirit,
and a desire to form quality relationships with customers.
In all the countries inwhich the Group operates,
Carrefour fosters organisational models which
ensure the continuity of customer service while
taking into account employee expectations
and complying with local regulations. Several
initiatives are being developed to increase the
base hours worked by part-time employees for
those who want it, and to provide them with
