Motivate, value and keep the workforce
My staff have worked very hard for their VAE
and are proud of their achievement. They are more
involved in their work and the general atmosphere
has improved.
MANUFACTURERS OF LOADING EQUIPMENT
Professionalize, develop potential and
employability
My business is difficult and relatively new. I
wanted to professionalize the company, create
harmony and optimize methodology in brief, get
the best from everyone. The impact of VAE is now
an evidence a new way of working and greater
respect for the client
COMPANY TREATING INDUSTRIAL WASTE

Adapt organisation to improve cohesion
Some operators have held the same job (e. g.
assembly line controllers) for many years but
their status within the organization was unclear.
Their role was strategic but I could not classify
them. The VAE was the opportunity to (
internally) recognize their skills and to make a
distinction between them and the unskilled
operators
MANUFACTURERS OF SPORTS EQUIPMENT
Value and improve the professional image of
the company
Today, thanks to VAE, I can reassure my
clients all my operators have a vocational
diploma. It is a decisive advantage.

Perpetuate  know-how 
Thanks to VAE I can now recognize and value
employees who have been with me since the company
was created. I can reward and favour the transfer
of knowledge and know-how from senior staff
to younger recruits, a principle asset of my
business today GENERAL PACKING MANAGING
Rationalize training and increase efficiency
Thanks to VAE my staff are super-motivated
to enter into an individualized/ personalized
training programme, geared to their particular
requirements, rather than one with a generalized,
global content  
INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE PROVIDER

Facilitate mobility and reconversion
We are in a very tense business climate. We
dont know what the future may hold. We preferred
to arm our employees by encouraging them to
validate their competences. The VAE is a
significant plus for us
