Discover Alim’Acteurs: Excellence in agribusiness human ressources practices
Alim’Acteurs, the competition for best human ressources (HR) practices in agribusiness, has announced its 2024 winners, highlighting their outstanding conduct and contribution to collective excellence through sharing and collaboration.
National expansion and key focus areas
Originally from Normandy, the Alim’Acteurs competition has expanded this year, allowing all French agribusinesses to participate through a partnership with the ARIA network of associations promoting and defending the interests of agribusiness companies. The competition focuses on four main categories, showcasing fundamental aspects of HR in agribusiness:
- Training, including apprenticeships
- Quality of Life at Work (QLW)
- Employer Brand
- Health and Safety at Work (H&SW)
Showcasing best practices
The winning companies from each region had the opportunity to showcase their best practices through videos. These videos are widely shared on social media, and on the ARIA and SIAL websites, providing national visibility to these exemplary initiatives. This approach not only highlights these companies and their HR initiatives, but also strengthens the attractiveness of agribusiness careers, connects consumers with producers, and sparks the interest of job seekers.
Among the winners in the four categories, each region selected a “super best practice” that will be honoured at a national ceremony at SIAL Paris 2024. Here are the regional favourites for the 2024 edition:
