The Engine of Attraction and Retention at STAIRWAY:
In a constantly evolving professional world, we must reinvent ourselves to attract and retain talent.
At Stairway, we have made kindness a cornerstone of our HR strategy. It’s not just a concept, but a set of concrete practices that promote engagement, productivity, and the well-being of our teams.
1. Personalized Onboarding and Tailored Training
Integration at Stairway goes beyond a company presentation and signing a few documents. We implement an individualized and digital onboarding process, complemented by a training plan tailored to each employee’s specific needs.
Upon arrival, they are paired with a Buddy, allowing them to quickly acquire necessary skills while respecting their own learning pace. We firmly believe that kindness begins with a focus on well-being from day one.
2. Flexibility and Custom Remote Work
Instead of imposing a rigid model, Stairway offers a hybrid work organization and custom remote work options, from one day to full remote work, based on employees’ specific needs. Some appreciate the concentration at home and the freedom to pick up their child from school, while others prefer in-person interaction. This flexibility is part of our commitment to ensuring a balance between professional and personal life.
3. Inspiring Coworking Spaces
Employees have access to modern and inspiring coworking spaces where creativity and collaboration blend. These areas are not just offices but convivial zones where the exchange of ideas is encouraged. This helps break the monotony of isolated work and strengthens the sense of belonging to a team, an essential aspect of a supportive dynamic.
4. Family Committee: Shared Moments of Conviviality
At Stairway, conviviality is not a “plus”; it’s a necessity. Thanks to the activities of the Family Committee, our teams regularly meet for informal gatherings, whether for a lunch, an afterwork event, or a sports activity. These moments help create bonds, break down hierarchical barriers, and establish a true company culture based on friendliness and solidarity.
5. Transparent and Multichannel Communication
Smooth communication is at the heart of our vision. We practice transparent communication, whether about the company’s long-term goals or daily decisions. We use multiple channels, from physical meetings to digital tools, to ensure each employee is informed in real-time. Transparency is essential for establishing a lasting climate of trust.
6. Quality of Life: Company Apartment
We recognize that care extends beyond the office. That’s why we offer a company apartment for our employees who are traveling or going through transitional periods. This type of support, often rare in businesses, is part of our human approach, where every detail is designed to make life easier for our teams.
7. Celebration and Recognition
At Stairway, every achievement is celebrated. We value both the small daily victories and the major accomplishments. There are many moments of recognition, whether formal (award ceremonies) or more spontaneous (congratulations in meetings). This culture of celebration fosters engagement and strengthens the sense of individual value within the group.
8. Shared Vision and Co-Construction of Goals
We believe in co-constructing goals. Each employee participates in developing the company’s ambitions, creating a sense of ownership and commitment. Kindness also means allowing everyone to contribute to the overall vision while respecting their ideas and personal aspirations.
9. Continuous Training in Soft Skills
In addition to technical skills, we heavily invest in training for soft skills. Learning to communicate better, manage stress, or develop emotional intelligence is an integral part of our training offerings. We believe these “human” skills are the foundation of a caring and high-performing work environment.
In conclusion, kindness is a strategic lever at Stairway. It is not a trend or an opportunistic strategy, but a genuine means of attracting and retaining talent. By placing people at the heart of our practices, we create an environment where talents can not only thrive but also actively contribute to the company’s growth.
