Disability, incapacity, or chronic illness — La Poste Group is committed to promoting employment and career development for all, and to changing perceptions, convinced that differences lead to performance.

La Poste is the leading employer of people with disabilities in France, with over 14,000 postal workers with disabilities, representing an employment rate of 9.76% in 2024.

A New Agreement Based on Five Commitments

Signed in January 2023, the 8th agreement in favor of employing people with disabilities further strengthens the group’s commitment. Covering the period 2023–2025, it continues and expands existing policies with social innovations through five key commitments:

  • Remain the leading employer of people with disabilities in France and ensure their integration throughout their careers.

  • Provide proper support for postal workers with disabilities in their professional paths.

  • Strengthen job retention measures and develop partnerships with public employment actors to expand opportunities.

  • Maintain a disability-friendly work environment within the company.

  • Enhance support for mental health disabilities in the workplace.

As the leading employer of people with disabilities in France, La Poste is proud to sign an eighth disability agreement with trade unions. This reaffirms its commitment to proper integration, quality of life at work, job retention, and the career development of postal workers with disabilities."

The agreement provides for the recruitment of at least 370 people with disabilities across a variety of roles over the three-year duration of the agreement. La Poste will allocate €11 million during this period to ensure a good quality of life at work for postal workers with disabilities.

The agreement also emphasizes the quality of integration for postal workers with disabilities. Over the next three years, at least 55% of the agreement’s budget will be dedicated to actions in this area (such as adapting work conditions to disabilities, digital accessibility, etc.).
