Human Relations driving the group’s digital transformation

Introducing a digital culture at all levels of the company is a priority for the group, and Human Relations plays a major role in this task. First, by stepping up the integration of digital experts, with more than 300 people recruited in 2015. Second, by implementing a vast training programme, both classroom-based and online, to shift the whole organisation up a gear. In all, more than 5,000 people took advantage of the “Digital Upskilling Plan” in 2015.

Meet L’Oréal talents

    Yeonah Choi
    The autonomy and responsibilities given at very junior level are an aspect of L’Oréal’s culture that I have always appreciated. A boundary is often broken to focus firstly on the potential of a person rather than experience. More than other companies, Human Relations at L’Oréal are willing to take a bet on a person.

    What I love at L’Oréal is the level of freedom and autonomy that we have. For me, the most important thing is to stay close to the business and listen to the teams at every level of the organisation. Even with the great results that we have been achieving so far, I always try to push my teams to be different, innovative and most of all agile.

    I really appreciated having the flexibility to implement the right strategy with my team which resulted in the best commercial organisation that not only developed talents internally but was also recognised by our customers. At L’Oréal, we have the freedom to be visionaries and reinvent things while at the same time getting to work hard along with teams that share the same goals and ambitions.

    When L’Oréal commits to a cause, as it has wholeheartedly with digital, that cause is embraced entirely. Being part of the L’Oréal digital revolution has therefore been genuinely thrilling. We are encouraged to experiment, to test and learn, to innovate – and the speed of change in a company of our size is mind-blowing. Every day I learn new things, and as far as digital and beauty are concerned, the possibilities are endless!

    At L’Oréal, you act like an entrepreneur and you have a multifunctional approach to push forward the business. Our way of working is very collaborative; we have a strong exchange between different departments, from Marketing to Supply Chain, Finance, Business Intelligence and PR. This is a fantastic opportunity. The entrepreneurial approach and the curiosity for what is new are key drivers for me.
