APPROACH

Staphyt differs from its competitors by having the location of its teams at the heart of the geographical territory of experimentation.

The environment as a career. The ISO 14001 certification and the publishing of a manual on environmental responsibility that each team manager must respect and enforce.

A restriction on distance travelled due to the geographic distribution of teams and promoting working from home. The development of a device, the Evapophyt, which eliminates cleanly the waste in tests.

Place people at the heart of the company. As a real ACTOR, the employee is placed at the top of the pyramid.

- Every 3 years, they participate in the development of the company’s strategy.
- They can work and exchange ideas with far-away colleagues thanks to an efficient Intranet.
- A steering committee that proposes new social action plans.

- A powerful communication tool
- An annual conference that reunites 100% of the employees
- An English language training program to facilitate trade between countries
- Extension to all countries the advantages of the French works council
- A specific interview conducted by a well-being manager.
- Ensure transparency

Neighbors, customers and partners also involved.

Close to its partners, Staphyt
