As postal workers, they contribute to the company's transformation and embody its values of local presence and trust; as elected officials, their mandate may require them to address postal issues at the local level.
Consequently, La Poste owes them the necessary visibility into the group's news and strategy and their local implications, on which, as public actors and community managers, they may be consulted. Furthermore, like the company, they must protect themselves from the risks of conflicts of interest to which their dual role could expose them.
A specific animation and supervision system
To support them, La Poste has long had a system in place for training and guidance to keep them regularly informed, particularly regarding applicable work organization regulations.
This system includes, on the one hand, national, regional, and departmental meetings that give them access to the strategic challenges facing the group and its various business lines, and on the other hand, a collaborative platform allowing them to exchange ideas with their peers, as well as specific newsletters on various topics related to postal services and services for citizens.
La Poste also prioritizes ethical conduct. That's why it has published an ethics guide for elected employee representatives and their managers, which identifies risky situations and provides concrete examples, solutions, and best practices.
La Poste is proud of its elected postal workers who balance their professional activities with their elected mandates, with all the responsibility and availability that this entails, and commends their civic engagement and their role as key liaisons between the group and local communities.
