BEING A PURPOSEFUL EMPLOYER

At Chanel, being a purposeful and human-driven employer means being intentional, meaningful and caring in inspiring our people.

We believe it is critical for the long-term success of our business to foster an environment that reflects our values, encourages and enables inclusion and fosters collaboration and well being.

DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL

We believe that all employees should be supported in developing their personal talents and careers. We strive to empower our people to realise their full professional and personal potential and achieve their ambitions by creating a culture that increases their capacity to learn, grow and innovate.

We also believe development is fuelled by an individual's sense of purpose and self-motivation and that this can take on many forms, including skills training and learning-development programs, short-term and/or global-mobility assignments and challenging, fulfilling work that supports the business. We encourage a multi-experience career journey so that our people can learn from different types of work, leaders, environments and teams.
