Fostering a new mindset at L’Oréal
Changing the way we work, interact and manage is one of the pillars of the Group’s transformation, alongside Universalisation, digitalisation and social responsibility. It will be the key to guaranteeing L’Oréal’s lasting growth and the company’s continued attractiveness in the future.
L’Oréal is changing, and so are our ways of working. The Simplicity programme x was created to support this transformation and infuse the company with a new mindset based on cooperation and trust. With this comprehensive programme, the Group is laying the groundwork for agile and lasting growth by training adaptable, efficient teams. This will additionally ensure its continued attractiveness as a benchmark employer that offers increasingly interesting and innovative jobs as well as a high-quality work environment.
The Simplicity programme has been rolled out throughout the Group, in every country, in all entities and professions. This cultural transformation of our work practices is laid out in a manifesto shared with all of the Group’s employees.
Lead & Enable: transforming management
The roll-out of Simplicity x is backed by a large-scale management transformation course called Lead & Enable for Simplicity. It is based on methods designed to change behaviours, increase flexibility and enhance strategic vision. It also incorporates other methods for transforming management, such as co-development. More than 3,700 managers from all of the Group’s countries and entities took the course in 2017. 7,000 additional employees will be trained in 2018.
