  • Rapport Annuel 2014
    RAPPORT ANNUEL 2014 ACTIVITÉS Si 2013 avait vu France Télévisions se doter d’un accord collectif qui représentait le véri- table acte fondateur de l’entreprise unique, 2014 a été une année essentielle pour la mise en œuvre de notre nouveau système de fonctionnement. Les organisations, unifiées, se sont pro- gressivement fluidifiées. Elles ont permis d’accroître les performances des fonctions transversales au service des projets édito- riaux du groupe ; et au-delà, de gérer au plus près nos moyens afin de respecter et même améliorer la trajectoire financière prévue au contrat d’objectifs et de moyens, dans le cadre du plan d’économies pluriannuel décidé en 2012. Grâce à sa politique éditoriale organisée à travers l’ensemble de nos offres, initiée dès 2011 pour certains genres tels que l’infor- mation ou la fiction, France Télévisions a retrouvé dans les audiences consolidées sa place de premier groupe audiovisuel en France en 2014. Ce résultat stratégique marque le renforcement de la satisfaction des Français pour nos programmes, dans un paysage télévisuel qui voit les grandes chaînes historiques inexorablement reculer. Cette satisfaction est également confirmée par le QualiTV, baromètre de satisfaction qualitative des programmes de l’Institut Harris Interactive, qui a notamment classé 17 pro- grammes de France Télévisions parmi les 20 programmes de première partie de soirée préférés des Français en 2014. Cette année a notamment été marquée par une nouvelle saison d’Un village français, la fiction préférée des téléspectateurs, par Le Plus Beau Pays du monde, un documen- 2014 est aussi l’année de la transformation de taire présentant de façon exceptionnelle France 4 vers un programme à destination les trésors naturels de la France et qui a des jeunes de 4 à 14 ans en journée, et de remporté un succès non moins exception- la conquête ininterrompue de ce nouveau nel, par les JO de Sotchi ou encore la série public depuis lors.

  • RECOMMENDATIONS of the TRIPARTITE CLUSTER for CLEANERS on PROGRESSIVE WAGES Objective 1. This Report Sets out the Recommendatio
    RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TRIPARTITE CLUSTER FOR CLEANERS ON PROGRESSIVE WAGES Objective 1. This report sets out the recommendations of the Tripartite Cluster for Cleaners (TCC) on progressive wages. The members of the TCC are listed in Annex A. Introduction 2. Over the years, companies across different industries have granted wage increases to their workers, factoring in industry and company performance, guidelines of the National Wage Council (NWC) and labour market conditions. These efforts are important and continue to be necessary across all industries, including the Cleaning Industry. Progressive Wage 3. For workers in the Cleaning industry, wage increase over the years has been slow and wage levels remained low despite skills training and various efforts at improving productivity. More needs to be done to help them in a systemic and sustainable way. In June 2012, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) introduced its progressive wages approach to help low-wage workers in different sectors achieve sustainable real wage increases which correspond to their skills and productivity levels. Progressive wages encompass specific wage ladders tailored for each job sector. Each wage ladder comprises a series of wage points, and is intended to enable workers at all levels of the ladder to upgrade and progress to their next respective wage points. 4. These wage points are determined by the unions and industry bodies in consultation with relevant government agencies and stakeholders such as service buyers and providers. Factors taken into consideration include skills requirements, work quality and standards, sector productivity, general employment and wage conditions. 5. Progressive wages are achieved through various strategies and programmes implemented by the tripartite partners.

  • France Télévisions Aims to Reflect National Diversity
    Directory of Experts France 2011-2014 France Télévisions aims to reflect national diversity Summary National television broadcaster France Télévisions employs some 11,000 staff, of whom 43% are women. They are over-represented in areas like human resources and communication, but under-represented or absent in technical roles. There is also a very obvious ‘glass ceiling’. Conscious of its responsibility as a public corporation to reflect the diversity of the French population, in 2011 France Télévisions adopted a diversity strategy comprising four pillars: gender, ethnic-cultural, socio-cultural and disability. In 2011 it decided to create a directory of experts whom programme-makers and journalists could call on. The company therefore asked specialist NGOs for nominations of experts with diverse profiles in terms of age, ethnic origin, disability, geographic location and, of course, gender. It received 400 suggestions, which it weeded down to 100 experts through a strict quality control procedure. The directory was then placed on the company’s intranet. In the short period since its introduction, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of women appearing in expert roles in some programmes. In order to remain useful tool, the directory will need continual promotion and updating. A responsibility to the public France Télévisions is the French public television broad- caster which is responsible for five national TV channels and one overseas TV channel, as well as co-producing films for cinema. It employs some 11,000 staff, of whom 43% are women. Women are over-represented in certain jobs (i.e. human resources and communication) and under-represented or indeed entirely absent from certain other roles, for example technical jobs.
