Well-being at the heart of a privileged ecosystem

You only have to open the door of its premises to be convinced. Here, quality of life at work is anything but a word. “It is what is most important to us, and a challenge that we never take for granted,” explains Alina Grasland, director of human relations and ESG at GPG Granit. In this privileged ecosystem, a stone's throw from Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), beehives, bicycles, and biodiversity are only the visible parts of a much broader approach, which aims to offer its teams the possibility of doing sport, consuming locally when they do not benefit from reflexology sessions.

Support for every difficulty

Enough to make you want to join GPG Granit every morning... Even if, at the same time, the company was a pioneer in teleworking. “What Covid imposed on companies, we had put in place for years,” smiles the director, for whom “everyone benefits from finding their balance between professional and private life, which is a factor of development as well as performance”.

These commitments take on even more meaning given the sector in which this BtoB company operates: the design of funerary monuments and tombstones, “a field which affects each of us and does not spontaneously make us want to join it,” admits Alina Grassland. To this oh-so-human feeling, we respond with something even more human,” she adds. This involves support, great professional development, training, and concrete actions to support the purchasing power of each employee in the face of inflation (bonuses, increases, restaurant vouchers, etc.). But also through missions likely to interest more than one young graduate: supply chain, digitalization, design office, commercial professions... All in an activity at the heart of the ecological transition. Because with factories located in several countries, GPG Granit is now deploying its efforts to measure, evaluate, and improve the skills of all of its partners on the subject. “Our next goal is to reduce our carbon footprint by 3 to 5% per year,” says Alina Grassland. And in this company which, every week, listens to everyone's feelings and suggestions for improvement, ideas always find an attentive ear.
