Context

The “Let us Talk Energies” internal dialogue invites EDF employees to contribute to the Group’s reflections in the implementation of the energy transition. The Multiannual Energy Programming Project was published in January and will be the focus of the dialogues this year.

Objectives

Become, with the commitment of its employees, a real laboratory of collective intelligence
Promote dialogue between employees but also between the different business lines
Identify new solutions to the Group’s challenges
Decide otherwise
Act by otherwise mobilizing the skills of employees

APPROACH

From January to May 2018, open dialogues were held in all regions of France and overseas. They were led by employees-dialogue volunteers and trained specifically in this mission. Different formats were proposed: thematic workshops on the vision of the company, sharing of territorial issues with the Regional Delegates, exchanges with the members of the COMEX present, etc.

At the same time, a platform was put online, allowing those who could not make it to the dialogues to participate in the operation and submit their ideas.

Benefits

Creation of social links between the mixed internal populations
Involvement of employees through physical meetings and exchanges on a digital platform: everyone was able to bring their voice and be an actor of the future of EDF through free, spontaneous exchanges, without taboo and more in tune with a civil society in motion.
