"This is not at all a rebellion, but really an internal co-construction on issues related to the social and environmental responsibilities of the company,” explains Léa Quiboeuf.
Thus, Les Collectifs support engaged employees in structuring themselves, taking action, and helping them network based on their sector.
Acting internally already has the advantage of knowing one's environment well and being able to propose tailored transformation initiatives, thus developing a greater capacity for action.
This also allows for the gathering of employees from all professions, creating diversity in terms of knowledge. “We can combine legal knowledge, cultural knowledge, economic knowledge, and therefore, it can progress faster,” specifies Léa Quiboeuf.
"In my company, it has also allowed for giving a voice to those who wanted to act internally, to transform things, but who didn’t necessarily have the capacity to do so because they felt alone,” shares Léa Quiboeuf.
Les Collectifs voluntarily support those who wish to get started, thanks to the “collective passport” kit with 2 modules consisting of 22 videos, providing all the necessary advice to create a collective. Further support can be offered afterwards, also free of charge. The Atlas of Actions, which outlines various action possibilities, can also be found on the Les Collectifs website.
“It’s a step back and a completely different way of seeing things that is very motivating,” explains Léa Quiboeuf. "It also shows that the economic fabric wants to move, that it is transforming from within, and that there are things to be done within companies. Moreover, having a collective of engaged employees in a company also allows for outreach, thus speaking to clients, suppliers, even competitors, and sometimes an entire sector to transform.”
