Validation of experience acquired, individual right to training, jobs and skills management: regulatory devices move that companies and their management of human resources, always arrive to keep pace. To try to see clearer and to inspire good practices already in place, the Salon of the training, which begins today porte de Versailles, Paris, organizing a series of conferences and meetings with more than 100 exhibitors. Vocational training innovations abound, as illustrated by the three companies rewarded by trophies of continuing training, organized for the ninth consecutive year by the group the student, in partnership with "Les echos". Three winners who, each in their own way, contribute responses targeted to the combined challenges of diversity, health and welfare at work.
PSA and women

"Challenge": the operation launched by PSA Peugeot Citroën factory in Metz is aptly named. In a region, Lorraine, marked by a high rate of unemployment and a difficult conversion of employees, attract and train women in the professions of metallurgy is the feat. The plant in Metz, specializing in the production of gearboxes, employs 10 of women, mainly in unskilled positions of assembling the parts. Machining activity, which brings together the most qualified jobs, there were only 2 women in 2002 a total of 2.452 employees. Operation "Industrial jobs for women", they are now 34, hired by ILC on posts of drivers to install. Selected by the ANPE with the method of recruitment by skill, the candidates were trained accelerated 7 months alternating 15 days on the website of Metz and 15 days in school to ensure their academic training. Three promotions already succeeded. And success rates are fade of desire: on the 33 candidates to departure, 31 presented themselves at the review and succeeded it, getting a 5 degree recognized by the collective agreements of metal.
Finally, from the assessments made on the site, 90 of recruited women have consistent expectations results. "Six of them have also the potential for progress in the medium term to monitor trade, after the acquisition of additional technical knowledge." "Because you can't burn the steps," said Walter Campanelli, responsible recruitment of Metz website. The more technical part of the trade is difficult to master, especially with training also picked up at the time, "but their presence is considered very positive: they pose many questions, bring a new look and are often more stringent than the men on their machines maintenance and cleanliness of the line", continues Walter Campanelli.
Funded in part by the firm of acting Adia, partner in the operation, this training also owes its success to the association of multiple actors: the ANPE, Assedic, Greta, the Aract and the regional lycée André-Citroën. A success that should be repeated with the next promotion of 5 women currently in training.
RATP and common sense
The RATP, for its part, has given priority to safety. Faced with a large number of accidents at work, especially electricians catenairistes, the company chose to change. "Tell an employee that he must wear his helmet, is good, but if he told not why it does not have much impact", j. Tayeb Yahia-Cherif, Director of maintenance of the catenaires to RATP. These electricians, the work is done at night, are one of the most vulnerable to accidents: risk of falls, as the work is done handling risk in height, with significant weight, or is likely to be hit by a train. This 2 months training, provided by a physician, the number of days of work stoppage is increased from 921 in October 2004 at the start of the training to 181 in December 2005. "Group of 12 to 15 people, each employee of the Department, whether the operators of maintenance, control officers or executives, has benefited from this training, 220 people," said Tayeb Yahia-Cherif, "and to ensure the effectiveness of the approach, the instructor focused content on the concrete consequences of accidents: lose the use of a hand, eye, that is what this means in everyday life." Same thing for a chronic back pain. "We didn't a speech abstract and donor lesson." To make the wearing of protective equipment is not lived as a constraint, but rather as a reflex of common sense.
Hospital and comfort
Always in the field of health, Lagny hospital, marne-la - Vallée, led an action of great originality to destination of its health care staff. Under its policy of improving the quality of care, training of four days in the technique of touch - massage was provided. Palliative care mobile unit was the first concerned, as early as 2001, as these massages, period average 30 minutes, showed a real effectiveness in the management of pain and anxiety of patients life. "It is not curative, but rather of comfort care massage", said Nathalie Masson, health framework and responsible for training at the hospital, which had to overcome the reluctance of physiotherapists, who feared to dispossess them of their duties at the outset. Very quickly, yet the approach to is declined with training in massage of newborns and anti-stress massages to destination courses patients... and employees. "Allow employees, including nurses who have a support important to massage between colleagues working is a way to improve working conditions and to find a form of welfare." "It also amended the labour relations by introducing more solidarity, attention to the other and team cohesion", said Nathalie Masson. With a total cost of 106.496 euros over five years, all of these formations was followed by more than 300 people. For patients, the benefit seems to definitively acquired. And, for employees, the positive consequences, such as the decline in absenteeism due to stress, are yet to be measured.
