Employee well-being, a priority
As a key element of our CSR policy Passion du Lait®, the well-being of our employees is at the heart of our day-to-day business.

Our management culture, supported by all our managers, aims to promote both personal development for our employees and collective performance for the company.

Patrick Lecoq
Human Resources Director Laïta
People are at the heart of all the inspiring and ambitious projects that we’re constructing together. And so it will continue, with the same determination to reconcile requirement and performance with well-being and cordiality. Excellence and quality of life at work are not a given, they have to be developed through the positions you adopt and initiatives you take on a daily basis. They are structured and organised in particular through a number of staff development activities.
