Digital skills for everyone
Enhancing the skills of employees is a keystone in L’Oréal’s digital acceleration strategy. More than 14,000 people have already benefited from the “Digital Upskilling Plan”, a massive training programme. Its goal is to build digital expertise at grassroots level and integrate it into all functions on an everyday basis.
More than 14,000 employees received digital training in 2016
Online training stepped up
A wide variety of formats have been used to amplify the impact of the upskilling plan. The aim is to extend this digital programme to cover all parts of the group’s business. Alongside conventional training sessions, L'Oréal is increasing the number of online modules dedicated to digital technologies on the in-house MyLearning platform, which all employees can access. In 2016, this channel accounted for 20% of "Digital Upskilling Plan" hours. Marketing teams, which are on the front lines of the digital transformation, can choose from more than 70 interactive modules that are regularly updated and enriched.
Flexible training techniques
To engage strongly with key employees, L'Oréal has a wide spectrum of flexible and interactive methods: study trips, immersion in digital start-ups, practical workshops, and reverse mentoring, with a senior employee receiving coaching from a junior digital expert.
