Arcom's commitment to quality of life at work for its employees

Arcom is committed to an inclusive HR policy, reflecting the values it promotes among players in the audiovisual and digital industries.

In 2023, Arcom will continue to implement its diversity/equality action plan with a view to renewing the Afnor diversity and professional equality labels held by the French Superior Audiovisual Council.

This action plan sets out the institution's concrete commitments to ensuring discrimination-free HR and management practices, including :

• training all staff in the fight agains discrimination,
• the implementation of HR proceedings guaranteeing the objectivity of the criteria on which administrative decisions are based in terms of recruitment, career development, remuneration, etc,
• the organization of awareness-raising initiatives on various subjects related to inclusiveness: gender equality, disability, fighting stereotypes, etc,
• the appointment of a diversity/equality referent, a disability referent, and the creation of a diversity/equality listen unit,
• the signature of the Autre Cercle charter in favor of the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in the workplace, and the follow-up of the resulting action plan.

Work-life balance is a central element of quality of life in the workplace and of Arcom's commitment to gender equality in the workplace.

The main schemes to ensure this balance are as follows:

• a 39-hour/week working week, with management given the latitude to set agents' normal working hours, in consultation with them, in compliance with the institution's time charter and the right to disconnect;
• a favourable leave policy: 25 days of annual leave and 23 days of ARTT per calendar year, with the unused balance on December 31 deposited in a time-saving account;
• the possibility of teleworking for up to three days a week
• managers to be encouraged to accept requests for part-time work, if the department's operations allow. In 2022, once again, all requests for part-time work were accepted.

Arcom is committed to supporting its employees through a wide range of schemes, which have a strong social dimension and are tailored to employees' developing needs. These schemes are discussed annually with the trade unions. Here is a brief description:

Gift vouchers

Gift vouchers are awarded to Arcom staff on the following occasions and under the following conditions:

Each year, Arcom pays a subsidy to ATM, an association whose mission is to give its members access to the gym located in the Mirabeau Tower, and to enable them to take part in the courses offered there.

ASCA's mission is to offer Arcom employees, both active and retired, and their families, associative, cultural, artistic and sporting activities, as well as to foster communication and the development of social relations. This takes the form of service supplies and the organization of various events.

Arcom has set up a listen line for employees who would like to be accompanied by a psychologist. This service is available free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service is provided by an independent firm that guarantees confidentiality.
