Aid and educate employees about disabilities

At ODDO BHF, this important task is performed in France by Mission Handicap and in Germany by the Disability Representative. Failing to provide help for people with disabilities could hamper their performance and development and lead to the risk of losing talented employees.

The ODDO BHF Group is committed to supporting the needs of employees with disabilities so that they can perform their tasks in the best possible conditions. In addition, activities to educate employees about this topic are undertaken in Germany and France.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Supporting and retaining employees with disabilities requires adjustments to their workstations and working conditions. The HR department in France and the Disability Representative in Germany help employees throughout the process of getting recognised as disabled workers and with specific measures to keep them in employment.

Mission Handicap, which now brings together around 20 employees from all business lines, was created in 2007.

In Germany, a Disability Representative is elected every four years. The bodies frequently organise information events to raise awareness of disabilities among employees, especially management. Mission Handicap meets twice a year to discuss potential initiatives.

In France, the Group also uses the sheltered employment sector for certain services, such as printing and catering.
