The two-company UES GLOBECAST — GLOBECAST France and ORANGE EVENTS REPORTAGES — concluded an "ACCORD RELATIF A L'EGALITE PROFESSIONNELLE ENTRE LES FEMMES ET LES HOMMES, PROMOTION DE LA DIVERSITE ET DROIT A LA DECONNEXION AU SEIN DE L'UES GLOBECAST" with the CFE-CGC and CGT unionsLegifrance
Legifrance. It continues the 2021–2024 accord signed on 5 November 2020: "Le présent accord s'inscrit dans la continuité de l'accord relatif à l'égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes, promotion de la diversité et droit à la déconnexion au sein de l'UES Globecast 2021-2024 signé le 5 Novembre 2020 pour une durée de 3 ans." It covers every company in the UES and benefits all staff (CDI, CDD, detached civil servants, alternants outside MAD). It runs three years: "Le présent accord est conclu pour une durée de trois ans.
Legifrance" and "Il entrera en vigueur le 01/05/2026.
Legifrance"
The diagnosis notes women are 20% of GLOBECAST France staff, concentrated in support functions, with none at Orange Events Reportages.
On hiring, every vacancy is open to all candidates regardless of sex or gender, with non-discriminatory wording; recruiters are trained on stereotypes and decision bias. Hiring targets mirror the women's share of applications, plus one point of feminisation over three years.
On training, access must be equal for full- and part-time staff; on-site or remote delivery targets 40%, and staff returning from a year or more of parental leave get a return interview. Those family-related leaves count in full for CPF rights. The goal is 100% of staff holding an equality or anti-sexism visa within three years.
On pay, annual reviews continue with dedicated equality budgets set in the NAO under article L2242-13. Returning from maternity or adoption leave, pay rises by the general increases plus the average of individual rises in the same category, per article L. 1225-26, and variable pay is neutralised on the prior twelve months. Targets keep the gender pay gap "inférieur à 5%"Legifrance and base-salary gaps by band "à moins de 2 %", with parity among the ten highest salaries.
On family life, pregnant employees get shorter days — one hour less from the third to sixth month, ninety minutes from the sixth month, after birth until the third month and while breastfeeding until the twelfth month — with no pay cut. Paternity and child-welcome leave is "30 jours calendaires", plus three working days for the birth.Legifrance Sick-child leave gives six days per year plus one per additional child up to age 16, doubled for single parents. Night workers with compelling family duties may move to day shifts, and pregnant night workers move to days on request. A solidarity fund tops up parental-presence, caregiver and family-solidarity leave through donated rest days (fifth week of leave, JTL, recovery days).
Disability measures open every post to disabled workers with a paid day for RQTH paperwork; harassment reporting runs through HR, Hello Ethics and CSE officers, with the 3919 helpline recalled.
On disconnection, "Aucun salarié n'est tenu de consulter ni de répondre à des courriels, messages ou appels téléphoniques professionnels en dehors de son temps de travail, pendant ses congés, ses temps de repos et absences autorisées.Legifrance" No one may be penalised in appraisals, rises, promotion or dismissal for not replying off-hours, and late-night emails should use delayed sending.
Legal basis: the rules rest on the Accord relatif à l'égalité professionnelle Femmes Hommes, promotion de la diversité et droit à la déconnexion of the UES GLOBECAST, continuing the 2021–2024 accord of 5 November 2020.
