PRESS RELEASE

Paris, 26 September 2017

Foncière des Régions measured the level of involvement and commitment of its employees through the Barometer survey conducted by the Kantar TNS institute using the HiPO (High Performance Organization) model. This second edition of the survey (first in 2015) confirms Foncière des Régions' values and strong corporate culture and shows the Company as a good place to work!

The 2017 survey reveals that the commitment level of Foncière des Régions' teams is much higher than the Kantar TNS benchmark for private-sector employees in France. Among all the aspects covered, five clearly stand out: pride in working for the Company, efficient leadership, approval of the strategy, cohesion in the face of change, and the feeling of developing personal skills.

The survey conducted with Foncière des Régions' employees reveals that 81% are satisfied with their jobs (+13 points over the Kantar TNS benchmark), 82% are proud of working for Foncière des Régions and gladly talk about it in their entourage (+26 pts) and 78% say they would recommend their company (+26 pts).

Moreover, 88% of those surveyed deem that there is a good atmosphere within the Company (+13 pts).

87% of employees support and firmly believe in the strategic orientations of Foncière des Régions (+40 pts) and 74% consider that the changes and developments within the Company are well managed (+15 pts). The climate of confidence is also attributable to a working environment deemed highly positive: 91% of those surveyed state that they have confidence in Foncière des Régions' executive management (+41 pts), while 70% feel that their line manager creates an atmosphere of openness (+19 pts) and 77% appreciate the management practices aimed at improving operational efficiency (+23 pts).

Among new hires and older employees alike, 83% of those surveyed deem they can develop their skills and competencies within Foncière des Régions (+24 pts).

The survey also reveals that 84% deem that they have an acceptable level of stress (+12 pts) and that 85% have a good work-life balance (+9 pts).

"The results of this Barometer support the investments we make every day as a responsible employer to provide our employees with a pleasant and stimulating work environment which is respectful of social criteria such as professional equality, non-discrimination, and the recognition and promotion of diversity", points out Human Resource Director Elsa Canetti.

"I have had the privilege of managing Foncière des Régions for over 15 years. It is a people- centred and dynamic company, which is attentive to its clients as well as its teams. With the members of the Executive Committee and Management, our goal is to create a working environment, which fosters interchange, trust and the development of each individual's skills. For us, this is one of the key conditions for our success", comments Christophe Kullmann, Chief Executive Officer of Foncière des Régions.

"In 2015, during the first edition of the Foncière des Régions Barometer, we were struck by the high level of the scores recorded. With these levels - which are much higher than those usually measured - there is a high risk of stagnation, or even erosion. We were thus very pleasantly surprised to see those scores rise even higher, placing Foncière des Régions among the companies whose employees are the most positive and confident." underscores Eric Chauvet, Director, Expert Employee and Customer eXperience at Kantar TNS.
