Hermès monte sur le podium du classement Universum des entreprises les plus attractives pour les cadres business.
Cette entrée à la deuxième place témoigne de leur confiance et de leur reconnaissance envers le modèle singulier d’Hermès, employeur responsable.
“I didn’t think I’d be designing luxury objects one day, I just wanted to create objects. But designing a beautiful and useful object with complete creative freedom, seeing it crafted by artisans, gives meaning to every one of my creations.”
Jens, designer for Hermès Horizons
“Logistics is the link between the artisan and the sales associate. Opening the orange box must be a magical moment for the customer. As each object is unique, I reinvent my métier every day.”
Servane, logistics sector supervisor for Hermès
“Hermès gave me a chance, even though I didn’t tick all the boxes. From leather-worker to workshop manager, I have had various roles within the house, in France and overseas. This bespoke career path has helped me forge very strong bonds of trust with the teams.”
Manuela, director of the Hermès workshops in Paris
“The leather workshops we build are first and foremost designed for the artisans: they must be as beautiful and durable as the objects that are made there. Establishing new sites has a positive impact on artisan mobility and regional vitality.”
Claudine, head of sustainable construction at Hermès
"As a sales associate in the Boston store, then assistant to the director of the new Orlando store, I am experiencing the Hermès adventure in my home city. I’ve found the perfect balance between my personal life, my coworkers and the community of Hermès customers that I love guiding as they discover the house.”
Cordell, director’s assistant at the Hermès store in Orlando, United States
“I like a challenge. From Guangzhou to Shenzhen via Changsha, from accounting to store management, I have always been mindful of building a special relationship with the teams, and I take extra care to listen carefully to everyone, sales associates and customers alike. Hermès has given me the chance to play my own part in a real odyssey.”
Daisy, director of the Hermès store in Shenzhen, China
