A four-year mandate that can prove valuable in multiple ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Be careful, you\u2019ll become the \u2018yellow vest\u2019 of your company!&#8221;<\/em> This was the reaction of Audrey\u2019s family and friends when she told them she wanted to run in the CSE elections, the Social and Economic Committee that represents employees within a company. Audrey works for a luxury group, which she joined four years ago after graduating from business school. The idea came gradually. <em>&#8220;I just wanted to participate in the organisation\u2019s operations. It\u2019s a bit like being a class representative at school,&#8221;<\/em> she says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We are generally well regarded by management,&#8221;<\/em> notes the young executive. Far from being a disadvantage, Audrey sees this involvement <em>&#8220;more as a springboard,&#8221;<\/em> because it allows her to <em>&#8220;develop her network within the company, with employees, HR, managers, and across all departments.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, timing is important if one wants to commit, as it requires a genuine dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This point is crucial according to Henri Vidalinc, Chairman of the HR consulting group Grant Alexander: <em>&#8220;Before considering running, it is essential to fully master your role and responsibilities. It is a valuable experience and certainly helps you get noticed, but beware of becoming trapped in this role or turning it into a professional specialism.&#8221;<\/em> The risk is to become fully absorbed in the mandate, investing all your energy and potentially neglecting your own career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesechos.fr\/travailler-mieux\/vie-au-travail\/jaurais-peut-etre-eu-ma-promotion-sans-cela-mais-comment-un-mandat-cse-peut-booster-une-carriere-2122194\">Read the full article on the <strong>Les Echos<\/strong> website (subscription required).<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henri Vidalinc, Chairman of Grant Alexander Group, shares his perspective on taking a mandate within a Social and Economic Committee (CSE) in an article published by Les Echos, featuring testimonials from elected employees and HR experts. &#8220;I might have got my promotion without it, but\u2026&#8221;: How a CSE mandate can boost a career.
