During the latest ‘P’tit Déj Inno’ event hosted by Pays de Gex Entreprises, innovation stakeholders gathered to discuss a key topic : how to organise the workforce in line with a company’s growth.

This meeting provided an opportunity to discuss several stages in the life of a growing business, starting with the first recruitment. Defining the role, finding the right candidate, ensuring the legal aspects of the appointment are in order, and positioning the company in the face of competition over salaries, particularly in the cross-border context of the Pays de Gex, were at the heart of the discussions.

First-hand accounts highlighted the process of scaling up, when the team grows and the first HR frameworks become necessary : organising roles, integrating new recruits, implementing simple processes and preserving the corporate culture.

Finally, the perspectives of experts and local leaders shed light on a key issue: retaining talent, particularly in technical roles, in the face of the appeal of the Geneva ecosystem.

This event once again confirmed the importance of such opportunities for dialogue within the Pays de Gex ecosystem.
