Auchan and Izo join forces to build employee loyalty and increase their attractiveness

In 2023, Auchan, one of the largest retail chains in Portugal, took on two important challenges as its strategic axis: internally, the volume of business; and externally, the attractiveness.

Aware of the importance of these dimensions for the success and continuity of the organization, he partnered with Izo to develop his Employee Experience by defining Personas and Employee Trajectories.

Main actions derived from the project:

Onboarding Model Review:: The integration process was redesigned to align with the new EVP, ensuring new hires feel connected from day one.

“In the debates of the People and Sustainability department, the value proposition is already the guiding principle of discussions and decisions: there is a new clarity about the path we want to follow as an organization. Regarding internal and external communication, we present ourselves in a much more assertive and attractive way, and the results have been very positive. Thank you Izo, it has been fantastic to work with you.”
