Presentation of the Agence Entreprises & Handicap
A club made up of directors of large French companies, founded in 2004 by Marie-Anne Montchamp, formed a think tank to consider the strategic opportunities of employment policies for the disabled, and attempted to equate these with the performance goals of companies.
The Agence Entreprises & Handicap conducts and pilots studies together with member companies and in this way fuels the debate that will contribute to the exchange of ideas, best practices and experience.
