2024 Annual Report

Corporate Social Responsibility / Higher, together

Bringing new talent on board

In 2024, a total of 2,400 employees, including some 240 apprentices, joined our ranks.

This hiring process includes a rigorous induction program for new recruits, including the organization of Envol training days and the involvement of the Dassault Aviation Defense Academy, as well as an enhanced skills development and training plan.

At the same time, Dassault Aviation is working to develop its talent pool through professional retraining initiatives, specifically the Diploma in Advanced Metalworking (CQPM) program for fitters and metalworkers, and the School of Mechanical Systems, established at our Argonay plant.

We are focused on providing our employees with skills and ensuring equal opportunities for all. Dassault Aviation is committed to promoting the careers of its female employees. In partnership with the Elles bougent and AirEmploi associations, we are helping to promote scientific and technical careers among secondary school girls.

Training in India

The Dassault Skill Academy program is designed to support the growth of our manufacturing operations in international markets. We have established the Aeronautical Structure and Equipment Fitter diploma program in Maharashtra, and we are in the process of expanding it to Uttar Pradesh.

Profit‑sharing

Our compensation policy is designed to attract, reward and foster employee loyalty, while remaining attuned to evolving economic circumstances. Our incentives policy is extremely competitive: in 2025, the average amount of profit-sharing and incentive payments made to Dassault Aviation parent company employees in respect of the 2024 fiscal year was equivalent to approximately four months of salary.
