Disability, all concerned!

Disability's measures within TotalEnergies

As part of diversity and inclusion, TotalEnergies has set up a system for employees with disabilities.

It is available in various ways in order to be as complete as possible, namely:

A disability agreement for the period 2023/2025, within the scope of the Common Social Pillar negotiated recently and signed by the CFDT TOTALENERGIES, was unanimously approved by the trade unions. The Disability Mission drives the company’s disability policy by investing in job retention and the creation of events related to this subject without forgetting the communication and budget aspect.

A network of ambassadors for each category of disability is the relay of the Disability Mission by informing the employees concerned or not of the existing system and informs as closely and concretely as possible to direct the employee to referent's to be contacted if this is necessary. The role of the ambassador is also to participate to events set up by the Handicap Mission.

Thematic Working Groups composed of a member of the Disability Mission and employees with disabilities to exchange good practices in order to remove certain obstacles (technical, human, etc.), to participate in events organized by the Disability Mission and to gradually open these groups to employees who would like to participate in order to bring an external perspective and exchange to create a climate of trust and better know each other to promote inclusion.

The FDI (initiative fund): allows an employee to help an association, a sports club or a school, a class for example, to carry a project related to disability. The employee may or may not be part of the association. He will present the project with it in order to obtain financial assistance. It involves including employees in a process of support, co-construction and sharing.

How to navigate when you are disabled or simply curious to know how it all works?

When an employee (concerned or not) wants to inquire or take steps, he has several possibilities: either, he asks a reply to an ambassador or eiter he can get in touch with the Social Service or a Disability Referent  whose role is to accompany him throughout his professional career both on the technical and organizational aspect and on the administrative.

In addition to the Disability Advisor, there is the subsidiary Disability Coordinator who acts  in the field of job retention and makes the relation with the Disability Mission (Christine HAMOT is at the head of this mission for the Company). The Disability Advisor and the subsidiary Disability Coordinator will ensure the smooth running of the professional career of the people they will follow.

The CFDT, as a Representative Trade Union Organization and as an extension of the 2023/2025 Disability Agreement it signed, participates in the FDI Allocation Commission (CAFDI). But what is the IDF? How does CAFDI work?

CAFDI

The FDI (Initiative Fund) was originally created by the M&S subsidiary and taken over at the Common Social Pillar level when the 2019 Disability Agreement was signed. The fact that this agreement is extended to the SSC is a major step forward because it allows a large number of employees to benefit and that each employee of the company can support a disability-related project.

Why? Because the IDF is a fund whose budget is set in the Disability Agreement. With the FDI, an employee of the SSC can thus help an association, a sports club, a school, a class in its project or for example for the purchase of equipment, all this in connection with disability and for a collective purpose. How does it work?

The employee (disabled or not), project leader contact the Disability Coordinator of the subsidiary to which he is attached. They then create a file with the association or school… that the project leader wants to support.

And then? This is where CAFDI comes in. And how does it work?

The CAFDI, composed of the Group Head of the Disability Mission, the Disability Coordinators of each subsidiary of the SSC and two people per Representative Trade Union Organisations, meet three to four times a year. The project leader presents with the association or school or club… the project they are carrying out in a limited time to allow a brief exchange with the members of the Commission. The employee can be part of the association whose project he is running. Generally, it lasts a whole day.

When all the projects have passed, comes the time of the allocation that is to mean the time when the members (OS and Mission Disability) deliberate on the amount to be allocated to each project, according to very precise rules. Once this deliberation is completed, the Disability Mission informs the project leaders and associations of the amount allocated to them.

CAFDI is a commission that is out of the ordinary because it calls on many sometimes unexpected skills. we can only come different from everything that happens there, from all the situations that are proposed. The CAFDI shows determination, perseverance and best take care of project leaders who make it live.
