After 3 years as Regional HR Manager for the Lyon Saint-Etienne Metz Nancy Forbach Strasbourg stores, I had the opportunity to take over the Regional HR Director role for the South-East region, which includes the Avignon, Nîmes, Montpellier Saint Aunes and Saint Jean De Vedas, Béziers, Fréjus, Toulon, Vallauris, Nice stores, as well as the 5 Leroy Merlin stores in Marseille.

This is the 2nd largest zone in France, and I oversee the human resources strategy for 3500 people.

Regional HR Manager (Lyon Saint-Etienne Metz Nancy Forbach Strasbourg)

In compliance with the company's strategy and values, we define and implement the Regional HR strategy. The objective is to build a 3-year HR strategy by combining international strategic orientations and the differentiating elements of my regional scope to commit to high economic performance and employee/resident satisfaction.

The challenge is significant, as the profound transformation of our organizations impacts people! We must best combine the evolution of our professions and build the HR strategy for our 15 stores in the East Metropolis Region to build sustainable performance.

My responsibilities:

> Recruitment of 130 permanent contracts for the store opening, with screening of 2300 CVs, video screening process using the VisioTalent tool and double viewing of 800 videos, meeting over 300 people in job dating and individual interviews.

> Making HR efficient, focused on technical aspects like personnel administration, an asset for managers so they can start being autonomous on the "personnel administrative management" issue within their teams (cqfd use of our HRIS tools).

> Being a true developer of human capital. The employability of our employees in such a changing world and the evolution of old evaluation methods and rhythms are my pillars for validating this change now and moving towards a model of informed evaluation and continuous development that integrates all our human development rituals.

> Since the Covid pandemic, the HR function has become completely aligned with the "managerial transformation support" role. It is important to maintain this change agent position. We work daily to achieve the digitalization of the HR profession (processes and roles) in the near future and thus maintain the added value gained during Covid on transformation and evolve towards a strategic partner position and then an HR Leader.

> Maintaining the level of requirement and continuous improvement seen since the opening (first in France in the employee experience survey and first in France in the customer satisfaction survey).

> Being a partner in effective social dialogue with the implementation of professional elections starting in November 2021.
