Dream Team

A collective that makes the difference

The 12,000 men and women who make up the Edenred Dream Team are committed to our ambition in 45 countries, nourishing our performance every day with their commitment and know-how. Through our training programs, our policy of inclusion and our support for solidarity initiatives, we enrich every career path while remaining true to our objective: to be a company where it's good to live and work together.

At Edenred, collective performance is based on the cohesion and continuous development of our teams. Formalized in 2022 by a manifesto defining managerial commitments to foster a stimulating and caring work environment, this Dream Team state of mind is based on five simple principles:

  1. We value both performance and attitude.
  2. We promote the extra-mile mindset and innovation.
  3. We believe in second chances.
  4. We foster collaboration, diversity and inclusion.
  5. We trust each other and ensure mutual feedback.

To spread the Dream Team culture, Edenred created the Dream Team Bootcamp in 2024, a program designed to develop and strengthen the essential skills of its managers.

In its first year, 400 top managers from all over the world took this demanding and ambitious course. Several additional programs, notably dedicated to middle managers and the development of a feedback culture, are currently being rolled out.

Our HR policy places a major emphasis on developing the skills of all our employees, in order to enhance their knowledge and employability while supporting the progress of high-potential employees.

Depending on their seniority and expertise, Edenred teams can access a range of training programs, from the Edenstep graduate program to Talent Week and the Edenred Executive Academy, aimed at employees and managers at different stages of their career.

The Edenred Digital University (EDU), a multilingual e-learning platform, offers training courses accessible to all entities. Ten compulsory modules ensure a common base of knowledge for all Edenreders, whatever their country or length of service.

Each year, Edenred enriches its training program with a number of modules on a variety of themes: among the most popular are the "Discovering sustainability at Edenred” course and our diversity and inclusion awareness program, respectively taken by 83% and 90% of our 12,000 employees.

Against a global backdrop of increasing cyberthreats, various in-house training initiatives regularly raise our teams' awareness of these crucial issues.

In 2024, Edenred was awarded "Top Employer" certification in France and "Great Place to Work" certification in a number of countries, including Greece, Turkey, Spain, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, Austria and the United Arab Emirates. Since 2022, Edenred Taiwan has also been honored with the "Best Companies to Work For in Asia" award.

Pursuing our actions for equality and inclusion

Edenred places meritocracy, equality and inclusion at the heart of its corporate culture, taking concrete action to create a fairer working environment. Gender equality is a priority, supported by internal promotion, external recruitment and several strong commitments, such as the signature of a diversity charter by our recruitment firms. Since its launch in 2020, our female mentoring program has enjoyed growing success, with 108 duos created by 2024. At the same time, a pilot program has been launched to develop a personalized coaching offer for female employees.

The inclusion of people with disabilities is also a key issue, illustrated by our proactive recruitment policy and global initiatives: in December 2024, the second edition of our Inclusion Week mobilized a dozen entities around the world. Inspiring speeches, like that of Marie Patouillet, gold medalist in cycling at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, reinforced the impact of this event.

Finally, Edenred is resolutely committed to the LGBTQIA+ community, notably through a global awareness-raising campaign carried out in June 2024 to mark Pride Month: conferences were held in various subsidiaries and an LGBTQIA+ glossary was distributed in 6 languages.

In any case, Edenred reminds that internal policies, actions or initiatives are only applied by the Group to the extent that they comply with the laws and standards applicable to the Edenred entities concerned.

Edenred supports the commitment of its teams: in 2024, for example, Edenreders accumulated more than 3,456 volunteering days for 250 associations around the world.

Idealday, our annual international day of commitment, symbolizes this spirit of solidarity: its eighth edition brought together more than 3,600 employees around the world to collect waste, distribute food and plant trees.

Our teams are also mobilized in autumn for the Edenraid sports and solidarity challenge. In the 2024 edition, over 6,200 participants covered around 2.2 million kilometers on foot or by bike. This distance was then converted into a donation for Médecins sans frontières [Doctors without borders]. Over the past five years, the challenge has raised 215,000 euros for the organization.
