After having identified the jobs that are in high demand and those that are likely to be significantly altered or to even disappear, the French multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare group now wants to strengthen its training provision, by placing specific emphasis on digital transformation and biotechnology innovation. To achieve this, the company is focusing on the ‘training experience’ and is providing staff training opportunities via virtual reality, gamification, and an integrated platform.
In 2022, Sanofi signed two training agreements for its 20,000 employees in France (90,000 employees worldwide). One of them, an agreement on managing jobs and career paths, which runs until 2025, distinguished between sensitive jobs and jobs under pressure (in demand). This classification has since been explained to every employee of the Group during the course of their careers meetings. While Sanofi is focusing its recruitment energies on meeting the high demand jobs the group is also prioritising appropriate internal training provision to be able to fill these vacancies in the bio-technology innovation and digital transformation areas (data science, artificial intelligence).
