If a company is to succeed, it needs to have the right people. Human resources are a core part of Brasseries Kronenbourg's past, present and future. We look for professionals who work with an open mind both with regard to the people around them and to their environment, who are prepared to take initiatives and who enjoy working as part of a team.

The company's human resources strategy focuses on three main points : attracting staff, developing their skills, retaining staff.

  
Developing the skills of each employee is a prime concern of human resources policy.

The annual employee performance assessment is the opportunity to identify areas where progress can be made (technical and managerial skills) and the to map out future career development paths.

Brasseries Kronenbourg spent over € 3M in 2000 (over three times the legal minimum) on training for over two-thirds of the workforce.

The company offers its managers and other employees prospects of career development in France through the brewery. The rapid international development of the group is opening up exciting new prospects for working on challenging new projects within a pan-European environment.

Brasseries Kronenbourg operate an ambitious internal promotion policy. Over 80% of vacant positions over the past 5 years have been filled by internal applicants.

  
Brasseries Kronenbourg is a highly efficient company, with modern industrial facilities, research and development laboratories, as well as marketing and sales divisions working with 3 distribution circuits : off-trade (shops and supermarkets), on-trade (cafés, hotels, restaurants, etc.) and the "third market" (restaurant chains, canteens, etc.).

Brasseries Kronenbourg can also offer excellent career prospects in purchasing, IT (with the SAP project), finance and human resources. The company is now part of the Scottish and Newcastle brewing group, which means there are also considerable prospects for international managerial careers within the group.

  
When you ask newcomers to the brewery what their impressions are of the company, there are two words that almost always come up - "enjoyable" and "professional". Our human resources policy sets out to enhance these two values, working in a rewarding environment with the professionalism of a large international group.
 
The company also seeks to create the best possible working and social conditions for its staff. We have been working a 35-hour week since 1982, while management recently saw their holidays increased to 8 weeks a year (207 working days).
 
The brewery's Head Office is located in Strasbourg, where the quality of life is exceptionally high and where people enjoy all the benefits of living in an international city which is the economic and cultural centre of the east of France.
 
The company also offers a highly attractive salary scale which also includes substantial bonus and profit sharing schemes.

Brasseries Kronenbourg believes you can only get the best out of staff by ensuring they take pleasure in their work.
