People-driven performance
Dassault Aviation is a leader that has remained true to its founding family spirit. Our strength lies in the individual and collective performance of our people and in their passion for aerospace.
A motivating social model
Our compensation policy attracts, rewards and encourages employee loyalty, while remaining attuned to evolving economic circumstances.
Our French employees benefit from highly attractive profit‑sharing and incentive agreements. Works councils received more than €27 million in 2021, i.e. 5% of the total payroll of the Group’s French companies. These works councils provide our employees with numerous social, sporting and cultural activities.
Health and quality of life
The Covid crisis has put the spotlight on our health, safety and quality of life policies. All our sites have dedicated healthcare facilities or programs, and the Group offers medical coverage to all its employees. In response to the pandemic, rigorous health protocols have been introduced and vaccination campaigns have been organized.
The company’s commitment to improving the daily lives of its employees is also reflected in the adoption of telecommuting and flexible working hours, as well as the provision of daycare centers and child care services.
Talent spotting
In 2021, we hired approximately 1,000 new employees, nearly a quarter of whom were women.
Our employee ambassadors work with students and teaching staff (both engineering faculty and technical teaching staff) to ensure that curricula are adapted to the needs of our industry, to promote our Group and its businesses, and to spot future talent. We were ranked in the top three most attractive manufacturing companies among engineering students and graduates, according to an Epoka/Harris Interactive survey.
Transmitting know-how
As individual development is a necessary condition for our collective success, 72% of our employees received training in 2021, logging some 260,000 training hours. We have been pursuing a policy of excellence and flexibility for thirty years thanks to the Dassault Conservatory, which provides courses designed to pass on our technical know‑how and quality standards, thus further enhancing our employees’ qualifications and skills.
