Developing a sustainable and supportive corporate culture

In addition to conducting an organizational life cycle analysis, an audit, and a materiality matrix, Simplex has sought to develop a human-centered culture as part of its own initiative. This focus led to the creation of a comprehensive strategic pillar dedicated to the well-being of its teams within its sustainable development plan and the launch of an internal culture book.

Our Main Objectives for Working Conditions

1. Promote Healthy Habits for Our Talents

On the physical health front, Simplex aims to organize annual family sports events to encourage physical activity among its talents. For mental health, we plan to implement a program designed to prevent psychological distress. Since personal finances can cause stress, especially in an uncertain economic context, Simplex also intends to develop a financial management program. Finally, we aim to achieve the Concili-Vie and Entreprise en Santé certifications.

What is the Concili-Vie Certification All About?

This recognition seal for work-family balance is awarded after a process in which the company drafts a work-family balance charter based on four key elements:

• Work time and location arrangements (e.g., remote work)
• Leave for family responsibilities (e.g., leave for the birth or adoption of a child)
• Support for talents and their families (e.g., on-site catering services)
• Organizational adaptability (e.g., the right to disconnect)

And What About the Entreprise en Santé Certification?

This Canadian standard (CAN/BNQ 9700-800) requires data collection from talents to identify and prioritize their needs, with the aim of determining the practices to implement in four areas of activity:

• Work-life balance (e.g., flexible schedules)
• Management practices (e.g., fair distribution of workload)
• Work environment (e.g., workstation ergonomics)
• Healthy habits (e.g., stress management)
