Attracting and retaining talent

Colas has put in place a strategy to attract up-and-coming talent reflecting the diversity of our society (in terms of culture, ethnicity, gender, thought, etc.).

This helps the Group foster an inclusive working environment where everyone is respected and valued for what they bring to the table.

The goal is for each and every employee to achieve their full potential throughout their career.
