Developing employee skills

In line with new business trends and work practices which have become more dynamic and collaborative, Icade aims to offer its employees a stimulating career path with opportunities for advancement. Such a career path is based on an active policy of promoting the development of employee skills whose objectives are: to support new ways of working and to develop managerial practices, to anticipate the evolution of business skills, to develop cross-functional skills and to encourage sharing through the development of a network of internal trainers, and finally to raise awareness and engage employees in terms of CSR and business ethics.
In 2023, Icade launched the Icade Climate School, its training programme dedicated to environmental issues. This year, more than 550 employees from the Property Development division received training in low-carbon construction tools and methods. Icade's Property Investment teams have also received training in adapting to climate change and protecting biodiversity, with the aim of implementing concrete solutions when planning work on assets.
Improving the quality of life and working conditions

As a major office property player, Icade is well aware of the close relationship between working conditions and employee well-being. As a result, the Company has created open, flexible workspaces that promote efficiency, teamwork and creativity. Work-life balance is achieved through the development of remote work. To measure the impact of these initiatives on workplace well-being, Icade has entered into a partnership with the start-up Wittyfit.
Promoting diversity in all its forms

Icade considers diversity a source of social cohesion, performance and innovation. A diversity officer ensures the implementation of a continuous progress approach by focusing on gender equality, the integration of people with disabilities, age diversity and the inclusion of young people struggling with unemployment. At the same time, since 2024, two schemes to support parenthood have been offered to permanent employees: pre-financed CESU vouchers for early childhood and access to the ‘Lyfe, moi parent’ application.
A committed disability policy

Icade created Mission Handicap in 2009 with the aim of providing individual support to employees with disabilities.
In 2023, Icade signed its fifth agreement on professional integration and job retention for people with disabilities. It provides various measures: support for employees facing a disability in their family sphere, an increase in employment service vouchers (CESU), the implementation of paid absence days or the financing of additional transport assistance.
In order to change the way people see disability, Icade regularly carries out internal communication and training activities, particularly during European Disability Employment Week. Icade also participates in the DuoDay initiative to raise its profile outside the company as an employer of people with disabilities.
Lastly, Icade supports the sheltered work sector (communication services, catering, cleaning, recycling, etc.) and has created a nationwide network of around 30 in-house “sheltered work sector” ambassadors have volunteered for this project.
