This new initiative marks a significant step forward in the Group’s philanthropic commitment, giving eligible employees the opportunity to make a smooth transition to retirement by participating in a 100% immersive experience in a non-profit organization.
Eligible employees can take part in a community project of their choice, for a period of at least six months, while receiving their current remuneration and entitlement to paid and exceptional leave. The program is open to all employees who are between 6 months and 2 years from their full retirement date, and who have at least 10 years’ seniority.
David Hindley, Executive Vice President Human Resources:
“At Servier, we pay particular attention to the well-being of all our employees. The launch of the senior skills-based sponsorship program reflects our desire to support employees at every stage of their career, offering them the opportunity to live out their commitment to the company to the full, if they so wish, and to make the transition to retirement under the best possible conditions.”
Corinne Massin, Director of Corporate Philanthropy and General Delegate of the Mécénat Servier Charity Fund:
“Senior skills-based sponsorship is part of our commitment to further develop skills-based sponsorship in all forms. It is a meaningful way for Servier employees to make the transition to retirement, putting their professional and personal experience to work for a public-interest cause.”
Through this initiative, the aim of Mécénat Servier is also to strengthen ties in the not-for-profit and charity sector and, most importantly, to have a positive social impact by making available the professional and personal expertise of experienced employees to further organizations’ growth and development. In this way, host organizations benefit from new full-time human resources over an extended period of time.
