Diversity & Inclusion

At Soitec, we view our employees as true entrepreneurs and key contributors to our success. To fully associate them with our achievements, we have chosen to share the benefits of our growth. In 2022, we implemented a free performance share allocation plan for all employees worldwide.

The final acquisition of these shares is linked, among other factors, to achieving our ESG objectives, thereby reinforcing everyone's commitment to responsible and sustainable growth.

Nurturing talent is a major focus of our HR strategy. The dynamic nature of our internal mobility policy ensures we can fill open positions in France and internationally more effectively. In the 2022–2023 fiscal year, 41% of global job openings were filled through internal mobility.

To support this goal, Soitec annually assists a group of employees in resuming their studies for career advancement, offering operators opportunities to transition into technician roles and technicians to become engineers.

Operating in a rapidly evolving technological environment, staying at the forefront of innovation requires ongoing learning. We consider employee training a cornerstone of excellence. Through partnerships with universities and top schools, short courses, and skill development plans, we empower our teams to adopt best practices and anticipate technological advances to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.

To strengthen managerial skills and culture within the company, Soitec launched the ambitious First Time Manager Program in 2024.

Built around ten modules, this program equips first-time managers with skills on diverse topics such as diversity and inclusion, workplace well-being, motivation and recognition, as well as HR tools and processes.
