Our People
An Inclusive's Company
Diversity and multiculturalism are much more than concepts at Disneyland® Paris. These values have been part of our professional reality since day one. At the very root of our creativity lie our Cast Members' diverse talents, cultures and backgrounds. Disneyland Paris is more than 100 nationalities, 19 languages spoken and more than 500 different trades. It is a team of dreamers, designers and tourism professionals. It is the young and young-at-heart, the academically achieved and otherwise. Disneyland Paris is above all the accumulated wealth of its Cast Members' diversity.
In 2008, we were awarded the 5th annual Cultural Diversity Trophy by human resource professionals, supported through the State Agency for Equal Opportunity. This recognizes our Company's commitment to diversity in the workplace. The Diversity Charter was signed on 3 March 2009 by Disneyland Paris in partnership with the organisation IMS, Entreprendre pour la Cité. See the video here.
Diversity Caravan
For the first time in France, a company has chosen to consider concretely with its employees the subject of discrimination. A travelling bus, dubbed the "Diversity Caravan," made the rounds backstage for two weeks in order to gather as many opinions as possible from employees in their places of work. Disneyland Paris asked more than 5,000 of its employees to comment freely and assess how diversity is managed within the company. The results: Disneyland Paris is seen as a diverse company that is open to all. 91% of employees feel that questions regarding diversity are important and 90% declare they have never been victims of discrimination. Finally, 86% are convinced diversity is respected or very respected at Disneyland Paris. To view the day questionnaires were handed out, see the video here.
A Passage to Employment
A partnership aimed at helping young graduates integrate the workplace was signed on 3 March 2009 with the organisation Nos Quartiers Ont Des Talents (see the video here). This partnership complements other outreach activities on a local level, such as the work with Initiative 77. A series of 80 internships of which ten direct jobs have been created for youngsters with no professional qualifications and those following reinsertion. A further program, Cap Parrainage, also aims to help those on particular state benefits.
Mission Handicap
Disneyland® Paris provides its 400 disabled Cast Members with support and guidance through the dedicated Mission Handicap department. Six different agreements have been signed in 15 years, and the Group continues to adapt positions to Cast Members with special needs. In 2005, the Group had already achieved the legal obligation of employing 6% of disabled employees. Due to a 2005 law specifying a change in calculating methods, the percentage of disabled employees in 2007 was 3.25%.
Implemented in 2008, the 6th Handicap agreement lays out plans to:
- continue increasing the number of disabled employees
- adapt jobs to Cast Members with special needs
- raise awareness among Cast Members and other stakeholders concerning disabilities and reclassifications
Gender equality in the workplace
Gender equality at Disneyland Paris is commendable, with a balance of men and women above regional and national rates (2006 SETEC study). The Group is currently composed of 48% female and 52% male Cast Members. We have added to this balance by signing a second agreement in 2007 concerning gender equality in the workplace.
