Because Institut Mérieux believes that its employees are its most precious assets, it is particularly focused on their success and wellbeing.

Job preservation

Institut Mérieux is committed to preserving its employees, regardless of the circumstances and any economic fluctuations. This commitment is particularly important in the case of acquisitions, when a subsidiary experiences difficulties stemming from an economic crisis in the country, or when certain research projects come to an end.

Supporting internal mobility

Thanks to its international network and the diversity of its expertise, the Institute is able to provide its employees with a number of professional development opportunities through internal mobility, both at the international level and in between companies.

Fostering social dialogue

Institut Mérieux’s companies have a tradition of constructive dialogue with staff representation bodies, which are well-integrated into the Group’s activities.

Training to support professional development

In a rapidly changing scientific and technological environment, Human Resources teams are committed to supporting professional shifts within the Group’s companies and thus helping employees develop new skills.
In order to do so, the Institute invests heavily in employee training, well above legal requirements, particularly through Mérieux Université, which trains employees from all the Group’s companies around the world.
