"Declaring your disability helps you to live your daily life at work more comfortably, as your needs are taken into account on an individual basis, "emphasizes Sylvie Dussollier, head of the Health, Social, and Cultural Action department. "This gives you the opportunity to benefit from flexible working hours, workplace adaptations, and technical or financial assistance."

The campaign, which will run for six months starting in early 2021, was developed in collaboration with France Intégration Handicap, the institution's partner on this issue since 2016, and incorporates feedback gathered during previous editions. Communication materials have been produced to highlight the four most common disorders reported during recent campaigns: hearing, vision, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal disorders.

  • a dedicated phone number;
  • the dissemination of technical data sheets on the most common pathologies on the institution's intranet;
  • A mailing sent to all school staff to inform them, accompanied by a poster and screen campaign at each school site.
