The jobs and career management agreement unveiled at the end of September by the BPCE group (100,000 employees, nearly 90% of whom are in France) has been in force since July, following its signing by all the representative trade unions: CFE-CGC, UNSA and CFDT. Valid for a period of three years, the text incorporates most of the provisions of the text signed in 2022, except for the ‘strategic workforce planning’ approach, which identified stable or obsolete jobs of the future. It is replaced by a joint job observatory, which is responsible for defining HR support measures in the event of “significant changes” in a job. Another new feature is the inclusion of chapters dedicated to professions linked to its strategic priorities, including strengthening customer relations for local banking, the rise of insurance and payment services, the integration of generative AI and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. “We present the main lines of the strategic plan to the social partners well in advance of its publication. These negotiations were part of our new strategic plan, Vision 2030,” explains Annie Martin-Robert, the group’s director of social relations.
