VINCI Facilities Entreprise Adaptée: a committed and inclusive company
FRANCE: Spotlight on VINCI Facilities Entreprise Adaptée (VFEA), part of the VEF Nord-Ouest IDF pole, which strives to offer social and professional support to people living with disabilities and help finding long-term employment.
With over 12 years’ experience, VFEA helps VINCI Facilities’ clients to meet their legal obligation to employ people living with disabilities. The law requires all businesses based in France to ensure that people living with disabilities make up 6% of their total workforce. To fulfil this obligation, companies can choose between hiring people directly or subcontracting assignments to disability employment services. VFEA falls within this second option.
VFEA – a brief overview
VFEA currently employs 90 people, 80% of whom are disabled, and operates across the whole of France. The company provides services in three areas:
- Level 1 and 2 multitechnical maintenance
- Services for occupants
- Comprehensive archive management
Its portfolio of clients is essentially composed of major french corporations, which have robust corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies.
Bespoke support
VFEA is committed to supporting its employees throughout their career to enable them to integrate a working environment that is adjusted to suit their abilities.
- Professional support: Helping people develop the technical skills required for our business, in particular through training at the Institut Building Solutions.
- Social support: Helping people find a place to live, offering support with administrative and healthcare procedures.
Adapted FM contracts
VFEA generally operates through “tripartite contracts” agreed between VFEA, a VINCI Facilities company and the client. This means that VFEA employees work on a site managed by VINCI Facilities, where VINCI Facilities remains the contracted party responsible for operations.
VFEA works with you to determine the best possible setup – joint contracting, subcontracting or secondment – to ensure the shared inclusion project is successful.
