Bessé School, guaranteeing our values
Preserving the unique Bessé identity over time and as we grow
Origin of the Bessé School
Preserving our uniqueness over the years to come. This is why we created the Bessé School in early 2022. It is a place of transmission and learning to pass on and sustain the values of excellence and dedication inherent to Bessé. This non-academic approach aims to anchor the Bessé philosophy in the everyday actions of our employees. The Bessé School is now an integral part of the on-boarding procedure for new recruits.
Part 1: Group sessions
The method implemented is not academic, in spite of the implications of the word “school.” We decided to build a programme structured around two half-day sessions, for groups of 20 employees.
Practical, fun examples, based on real life situations, are used to get the employees to understand and adopt our values. This approach encourages discussion between the employees, stimulating emulation, collaboration and sometimes opposition. And that is exactly what we are looking for! The employees must be able to plan ahead and feel the emotions they experience every day in their professional lives.
Part 2: Mentoring
As a follow-up to the sessions attended by all employees, we decided to set up a mentoring programme.
This programme aims to illustrate the Bessé values in everyday actions, encourage discussions and develop transversality through benevolent assistance that enables each individual to grow and feel good at Bessé. We opted to launch the programme via a digital interface to ensure access to all employees.
Each employee can choose a mentor and work with them to gain inspiration and progress professionally, without being judged or taking risks with their careers.
