Fortil strengthens its entrepreneur engineer model

Fortil Group chose the Louvre in Paris to bring together a thousand employees based in France and Europe this Friday, June 6, to unveil the results of a two-year employee survey, which yielded a thousand responses. At the heart of the research: how to be a recognized example of an international organization with a regenerative aim by unleashing potential, the mission that the Seyne-based gem has set for itself, now with 2,206 employees and established in 13 countries, 15 years after its creation. "We called on external firms and relied on the Gallup report [on changes and mindset in the world of work, editor's note]," emphasizes Olivier Remini, the president and founder. The results were presented during this evening shared with some 500 clients, to further define the model around which Fortil was forged: that of the engineer-entrepreneur. The group's employees support clients in the design and implementation of their industrial projects, in fields as diverse as health, nuclear power, and even rail. And will now have the opportunity to become partners after two years of seniority, in other words, holders of a share of the capital, without waiting for three years of service (46% of employees are partners after three years of service), as was the case until now.

This is the big announcement made by the group on Friday, a direct result of the survey results. "The main objective was to discover what criteria make an engineer eligible to be an entrepreneur, what is the equation for their well-being within the company? Because all studies show that fulfillment generates performance, so we decided to work above all on fulfillment," the manager explains.

Collective

The answer lies in the collective, "Even regarding remuneration, it is the collective that prevails, since 35% of well-being, according to the survey, stems from pay equity." But what are the organizational criteria that promote this fulfillment? The distribution of capital, the vision, the company's project are key factors, this survey reveals. "The hard core of all this is the structuring of capital," assures Olivier Remini for whom the mission - in this case, to be a regenerative organization - is also a driving force "because an employee who knows why he works is more involved." The questionnaire also probed employees' knowledge of the different forms of capital. "Whereas among the general public the score is more like 2/10, here it was 7/10." The survey also showed that the satisfaction rate within Fortil is higher than 90% for people who have been with us for more than three years, "We wondered how to increase this rate?"

By generalizing the association process, initiated from the moment of recruitment, "they have the feeling of going from tenant to owner!" jokes Olivier Remini, for whom the formula can be summed up as follows: E = MC², fulfillment equals mission, combined with association with capital.
