Is the simple fact of being caring, creative, autonomous, agile, empathetic and communicative enough to create value in an organization? This question raises the issue of the balance between technical and behavioral skills, and the relationship between Soft Skills and Hard Skills. Is the current emphasis on Soft Skills to the detriment of Hard Skills? Our aim is not to set these two notions against each other, but rather to find a balance that complements them.

It's an open secret that the continuation of current business and consumption models, without change, re-interrogation or consideration of the living, is unsustainable and will lead us into a world where human foresight no longer makes sense, because we won't be around.

What if France's ETIs were an underestimated asset when it comes to influencing our society? Both creators of jobs - they employ 25% of the working population - and innovators in the field, they discreetly design and deploy solutions to the various challenges of professional integration and job retention in France. Thanks to their intermediate size, they have the financial strength to innovate and the agility to do so effectively. A capacity for impact that all players, and especially they themselves, must seize!

To mark Sustainable Mobility Week, we take a look back at an event that greatly contributed to its development: the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. On Sunday, September 8, Paris said goodbye to its Games with the closing ceremony of the Paralympics. Games that were a huge sporting and popular success, but also a success in terms of sustainable mobility. Also known as «ecomobility», it aims to reconcile people's need to travel with the need to reduce the carbon impact of transport. For these Olympic Games, Paris 2024 had set itself strong and inspiring ambitions.

Obesity: a major and growing public health problem Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI[1]) equal to or greater than 30, and has a significant impact on the health of those concerned. Caused by a high-calorie diet, lack of physical activity and predisposing genetic factors, obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Indeed, obesity leads to intermediate risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia[2], insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, increasing the likelihood of serious pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

The challenges associated with daily travel are numerous: environmental impact, lack of accessibility for all, regional inequalities. To mark World Mobility and Accessibility Day, we spoke to Cécile Gouesse, Eurogroup Consulting's partner in charge of mobility. Sustainable mobility has become an imperative in the quest for a more environmentally-friendly and inclusive future.

By Jean de Boisfleury, Director and Loïck ULLIAC, Consultant Ecological challenges, particularly those linked to the reduction of greenhouse gases, call for greater use of public transport. But in a context of budgetary constraints, we still need to identify the levers that will make these modes of transport truly attractive. In a few pioneering conurbations, free public transport has begun to take hold. But under what conditions? Is it really compatible with the "supply shock" called for by the Union des Transports Publics? And could it be rolled out nationwide?

15 new employees benefited from the second edition of the transition training course. Since April 2023, some 50 employees have been trained by CentraleSupélec and Eurogroup Consulting.

Dans un contexte où la démographie médicale est très fragile voire précaire, les établissements publics de santé font face à un vrai casse-tête. Comment assurer une permanence des soins qui réponde aux besoins de la population tout en optimisant le temps médical et en répondant mieux aux exigences de qualité de vie au travail des soignants ? 

Par Caroline SCHWARTZ, Manager Le constat du dernier rapport du GIEC est sans équivoque : le réchauffement climatique est en cours – +1,1°C depuis la fin du 20ème siècle – et cette tendance se poursuivra si les émissions de gaz à effets de serre ne diminuent pas fortement et rapidement. La stratégie nationale bas-carbone a défini en France un objectif d’atteinte de la neutralité carbone dès 2050, avec un objectif intermédiaire de réduction des émissions de GES de 40% en 2030 par rapport à 1990. Le secteur hospitalier tient une position paradoxale : émetteur de 8% des GES en France, soit l’équivalent de 49 millions de tonnes de CO2, il contribue à la crise climatique autant qu’il en subit les effets, lui qui est en première ligne pour traiter les impacts sur la santé physique et mentale des populations.
