通过专业集成来战斗贫困

How was the ARES non-profit organization started?

玛丽日元 -ARES was founded in 1991 by Patrice Leroy, a director at the SNCF at the time, Philippe Crouzet, a member of the Council of State, and Patrick Gagnaire, a social worker. All three wanted, through work, to help restore the confidence and dignity of the homeless based in the Gare de l’Est and Gare de Nord areas of Paris. Over nearly 30 years, the organization has grown and extended its reach to all those facing social exclusion in a few key areas in France, but always by focusing on integration through economic activity.

What is the purpose of ARES? What work does it do?

M. Y. -At ARES, we believe that “no one is unemployable.” To prove this, we sign contracts with companies for a wide range of missions, in sectors such as construction, logistics, recycling or digital technologies. These missions are carried out by employees hired directly by ARES on fixed-term integration employment contracts. In this way, we currently support the integration of more than 1,000 individuals, mainly in the Île-de-France region, helping them gain access to the labour market and also providing them with social support to help them manage their daily lives and address the factors which led to their initial position of insecurity. This two-fold approach is incredibly important and requires those following the scheme to show willingness and a strong commitment. In our view, motivation is the only condition of employment.

JoëlAndré -对于我的部分，在2020年通过基于技能的赞助计划加入它之前，我没有听说过本组织。什么让我立即让我雇用的人经常具有非常复杂的历史：他们是前囚犯，人们陷入困境， 无家可归的人。但由于收到的支持，近三分之二的三分之二实现了长期重新融入社会。这是卓越的！对我而言，这本身就是每天的动机的主要来源：我们正在帮助变形改变人们的生命。

为什么空气液化基础支撑ares？如何？

M. Y. -When we met with the heads of the Air Liquide Foundation to examine a partnership project, it was clear that ARES’ social project was an excellent match for their determination to support local development, notably through professional integration programs. Safety concerns quickly emerged from our discussions as a common focal point. We constantly welcome new arrivals and therefore the accident rate is high, unfortunately. It is our duty to continuously raise awareness of professional risks. I would even go as far as saying that safety is an essential life skill to ensure a successful and long-term integration into the workplace, in particular in technical professions. The correct actions and the ability to prevent danger are things that can be learned. And that is where Joël supports us.

J. A. –Yes, we have jointly worked on a project to develop a culture of safety, which draws on the principles of the “Zero-accident target” policy already in place at Air Liquide. This culture has been strongly instilled in me throughout my career at Air Liquide, notably when I was Head of Safety for the French industrial subsidiary. When I decided to volunteer for a skills-based sponsorship project for an association, the Air Liquide Foundation instantly put me in contact with ARES to support them on this issue of safety in the workplace. The Foundation therefore is supporting the organization at two levels: through a donation of 225,000 euros over three years and also through this skills-based sponsorship. And this type of support is extremely important for me, as it is for the Foundation: financial support, although crucial, is not the only way to help. Sharing our time and our skills also has a huge impact!

实际上，您如何实施这种“安全文化”？

J. A. –主要挑战成功地传递给只能留在一两年的人的适当反射。为此，我们已经确定了三个级别的干预。首先，通过彻底分析单一风险评估框架中规定的风险，过程和最佳实践来铺设基础。然后，为每个人提供重大的意识运动，包括管理，以确保理解这些最佳实践。最后，密切监测任何发生从每个人绘制课程的事故，从而确保他们不会再发生。

M. Y. -面临的挑战是适应这种文化的安全to ARES and its specific characteristics: our employees work in a wide range of sectors, with different cultures and risks. We also have a wide range of profiles, all of which are a long way from the world of employment, and sometimes they have significant personal problems.

What impact has the Covid-19 pandemic had on ARES’ activity, the individuals it supports and its organization?

J. A. –在优先事项列表之上，这一时期明显放置了健康，因此安全安全！正如每个人的情况一样，大流行病的发病来自人类和经济的角度挑战，但我们能够在所有网站上迅速实施业务连续性计划。这使我们能够维持就业，即使它减少了，同时最大限度地减少了风险。

M. Y. -Yes, everyone gradually adapted to the new tools and methods. The pandemic made the risks and the need to respect health and safety guidelines much more tangible. Joël’s expertise really helped us bounce back in the face of this crisis. We would even like to draw on this momentum to go even further and create team leader positions fully dedicated to safety.

To conclude, if you had to describe the Air Liquide Foundation in just two words, what would they be?

M. Y. -Reliability and commitment.

J. A. –社会承诺。
