A five-step integration
All new Wavestone employees follow the same path to facilitate their integration. This period extends from their first day at the firm to the end of their trial period. It is organized around important moments:
Preparing for the arrival
We give you all the practical details for D-Day.
Welcoming you on the first day
In the context of Covid-19, you join our remote onboarding program. Normally or in the environments that allow it, you meet your new colleagues and discover the offices in a friendly environment.
“Delivering in Wavestone” course
Dedicated training allows you to take ownership of Wavestone’s fundamentals and discover its main tools.
Meeting your buddy
He or she answers all your questions, explains how the firm works and takes you to meet the teams.
Participating in Wavestone Inside
Several times a year, during an integration seminar, new employees from all offices around the world are gathered during two days of discovery and meetings.
A multi-channel training course
New recruits will have access to various training tools. Our goal is to support the development of their skills on an ongoing basis.
E-learning
Follow a MOOC, discover Wavestone expertise: different training modules are accessible online, at any time, according to the needs of each individual.
Live training
Individual development courses may require general or technological training, requested directly by the employee or recommended by their manager. These times are also an opportunity to build an internal network by meeting employees from other environments and to share feedback.
A career punctuated by Wavestone Horizon
To give employees more visibility into their development prospects, career paths are formalized within “Wavestone Horizon”. For any level of responsibility in a given role, the expected skills and benchmark salary are clearly defined and are the same for everyone. This document is defined according to the specifics of each activity:
This route is open to all employees, regardless of their field of excellence or their geographical location.
It is this common evaluation framework that feeds the “talent reviews”, annual milestones where management and HR teams exchange on each employee of the firm: prospects of progression over 12 to 24 months, associated development actions, objectives of the year, possible promotion and evolution of their remuneration package.
Internal mobility opportunities
Beyond the traditional career paths, we want to guarantee the richness of the prospects for the growth of all employees. Internal mobility is one of the professional opportunities to allow employees to benefit from diverse experiences. Any employee can ask their management and/or HR team. All requests are considered, regardless of their level of experience.
You integrate another field of excellence, while remaining a consultant.
You become a member of a new team.
Chelsea
CSR Program Officer since October 1, 2018
My opportunity for a career move came out of the blue, or rather, out of the Air screens in the Tour Franklin. Even though I was perfectly happy as a consultant, when I saw a vacancy with the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) team, there were stars in my eyes. Having always been driven by promoting positive change in society and culture, this was my chance to help Wavestone stand out from the rest thanks to its CSR approach.
You join another country or another city.
Noura
Consultant in Geneva since April 1, 2019
Originally from Geneva, I yearned to get back to a calm life in Switzerland after over a year working in Paris. I sought Wavestone’s values, atmosphere and vitality, but while working close to mountains and lakes… Mission accomplished! Geneva’s customers, consulting market and issues are completely different, but my ties with the Paris firm are stronger than ever.
