AT THE HEART OF TERRITORIES 2022

Shopping centers, places where innovation is shared

Employee experience and career path

Being a leader in our industry, we are committed to providing our employees with an engaging learning experience that will not only help them to be the best they can be, but will also develop their employability, both inside and outside the Company. The Group pays particular attention to managerial quality and seeks to position managers as the primary coaches for developing the skills and promoting the well-being of its employees.

That also helps facilitate their functional or geographical mobility. The diversity of our training courses facilitates the “tailor-made” approach to supporting career paths within the Group: Klépierre University, the Group’s internal training school, is constantly updating its catalog of training courses, some of which now offer certificates and are given by employees themselves. The focus on agility in training is paying off, since internal employees filled 31% of vacant positions in 2021, up from 17% in 2020. In 2022, we plan to continue promoting knowledge and know-how sharing by calling on more internal trainers, establishing mentoring programs and optimizing technical tools specific to our business activities.

Our co-construction policy allows employees to contribute to major corporate projects (CSR policy, diversity and inclusiveness policy, etc.), even those with no systematic link to their functions.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The Group’s “D&I” policy, launched in early 2021, has three objectives:

Promote a culture of inclusiveness: with the support of our network of 40 ambassadors, we optimize the employee experience on a daily basis. All stages are concerned, with managerial awareness and initiatives both at headquarters and in shopping centers. The agenda for 2022 includes the co-creation of the second edition of Diversity Week.

Support parenthood: 2022 will see the launch of our Europe-wide internal audit on parenthood. All existing measures will be analyzed to identify areas for improvement. Several countries have already gone beyond legal requirements with the implementation of extra parental-support measures, from a day’s leave at the beginning of the school year in Poland to an extra five days of paternity leave in Germany.

Ensure gender balance: Signing the Charter of Commitment to Gender Equality in Real Estate Companies and Organizations reflects our determination to meet additional gender performance targets. A key priority is for women to account for 40% of our Top 100 managers by 2026.
