4 _265 2023 UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT_MICHELIN 4 NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT Sustainable Development Report Every month, a TA+ accident case study is presented in detail to the Group Executive Committee, with an analysis of the causes and the deployment of an action plan to attenuate the risk of the same type of accident occurring in the future. In 2023, the Michelin community was saddened by two fatal accidents, one in North America, in one of CAMSO Solideal’s dealerships in Florida, and the other in a traffic accident in Northern Europe, in the course of our sales and marketing activities. 4.1.3.4 Ensuring well-being in the workplace: improving work-life balance Michelin wishes to create working conditions that foster a sense of balance and personal well-being. Initiatives are being deployed to improve the workplace environment and organization. In addition, the country organizations and plants have been empowered to make headway on local priorities, in accordance with the needs expressed by their employees. Year after year, the results of the Moving Forward Together survey(1) express employee aspirations for a better work-life balance. 4.1.3.4 a) Adjusting working hours Adjusting office work schedules Local initiatives to encourage working from home are still being promoted. Teleworkers feel that one of the main benefits is the significant reduction in their weekly commute, particularly in Brazil, Romania, the United States and other countries where traffic congestion is on the rise. Operations in Germany, Canada, Spain, France and the Nordic countries have introduced work-athome options in response to the need expressed by employees for a better work-life balance. In France, as part of its commitment to diversity, special attention is paid to requests from disabled employees, pre- and postmaternity leave employees, seniors and people working part-time after sick leave (see section 4.1.2.2 b). Initiatives for production operator work schedules While more challenging to implement for operators working in a variety of shifts to keep production plants running around the clock (3x8 hours, 4x8 hours, 5x8 hours, 2x12 hours), a number of shopfloor work-life balance initiatives have been deployed, in particular as part of the empowerment process. Any adjustments to production schedules are announced as far in advance as possible. Offering more flexible part-time options Michelin encourages part-time working, which plays an important role in improving quality of life and work-life balance, while opening up job opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds. Procedures for implementing these arrangements vary by country, depending on local legislation, expectations and practices. To the extent possible, they also reflect input from employee representatives. 2.4% of employees opted to work part-time in 2023.
