Claire Fanget, Chief People & Organization Officer

In a rapidly transforming automotive industry, Renault Group is making skills development a key driver of both competitiveness and employee employability. This ambition is part of a fair and inclusive transition approach, built on respect for every individual, leadership development, and the preparation of tomorrow’s skills. For Claire Fanget, Chief People & Organization Officer, the company we are building is designed to be a learning organization, inclusive and future-oriented.

Skills at the heart of our competitiveness 

In an automotive market undergoing profound change, our employees constitute our greatest strength. With our industry in the midst of a major shift, developing expertise is critical to keeping our Group competitive and our teams future-ready.

Building tomorrow’s jobs 

Our ambition is to increase our employees’ skills to strive for excellence in all our professions, consolidate our key expertise, and develop new ones by integrating innovations into our ways of working, particularly AI. 

We are refocusing the bulk of our training investments on those that are strategic: electrification, software, data, and AI. Thus, each function identifies the critical skills to be expanded over the next five years.

Ensuring a fair and inclusive transition for all employees 

This approach is part of an ambition for a just transition, attentive to the career paths and realities of each individual. It is based on a strong conviction: supporting our employees through ongoing changes, without exclusion. And it relies on essential principles: respect for everyone and the fight against all forms of discrimination. 

In parallel, Renault Group carries an essential responsibility: ensuring the next generation of talent. This means ensuring continuity in key positions, organizing succession plans, and continuing our investments in leadership development. 

We are thus giving ourselves the means to support the transformations of our environment by placing skills, leadership, and people at the heart of our trajectory.
