Inclusion through health
We are aware that individual well-being plays a part in collective success, and therefore aware of the challenges that everyone may have to face in their professional and personal life. VINCI Construction strives to create a supportive and understanding atmosphere where everyone can find fulfilment.
Beyond that, evolving expectations in societies, changing demographics and lengthening careers in Europe are prompting us to take a new look at our employees’ professional journeys.
Our vision
We recruit, support and retain employees living with long-term illnesses or disabilities.
Our objectives
Provide sustainable career paths for all our employees, particularly those at construction sites.
How we take action
Our commitments around our employees’ health stem straight from the fact that the population is ageing and people’s working lives are growing longer.
These trends are prompting us to pay greater attention to the well-being of all our employees. The initiatives we are taking as a result are helping us to take into account a wider range of needs – particularly those related to age, gender and personal circumstances – which is in turn enhancing inclusion.
VINCI Construction’s primary objective is to protect the health and well-being of all its employees over the long term. To do this, we have ranked our comprehensive health and safety policy at the top of our list of priorities – with a particular focus on construction workers – for many years.
Today, 80% of workers with disabilities have an invisible disability. We still need to draw attention to the issue, to change the way we see people with progressive chronic illnesses, sensory disabilities, cognitive or psychological disabilities, etc.
Jean-Pascal DUSART, Trajeo’h president, Ile-de-France
I am proud to see the way perspectives are changing within our companies
We are taking three types of measures to encourage employment of people with disabilities: retaining our own employees who become unfit to do their job, recruiting people with disabilities and outsourcing to companies that employ a majority of people with disabilities.
Trajeo’h, the structure that the VINCI Group set up to work with people with disabilities in France, helps employees complete the formalities to secure disabled worker status if they wish to do so, and adapts their workstation if necessary.
VINCI Construction was the first building and civil engineering company in France to sign the Cancer@Work, charter, in April 2023, pledging to promote knowledge and shift perceptions while providing a welcoming and supportive environment for people living with cancer and other chronic conditions.
We have been sharpening our focus on preventing and managing psychosocial risks in recent years, for instance by briefing and training managers at several business units, while taking a series of measures that include setting up hotlines, providing psychological support and running campaigns around mental health.
