LVMH 2015

Talents
In 2015, we translated our longstanding conviction into real
world progress. The continuing development of the Institut
des Métiers d’Excellence is a vivid illustration of our push to
preserve LVMH’s special knowledge of the applied arts and
transmit it to a new generation of craftspeople and designers,
while adapting to modern trends and the digital landscape.
MEETING THE ASPIRATIONS
OF UPCOMING GENERATIONS
We have been rapidly expanding our partnerships with busi-
ness schools in France and around the world, another testa-
ment to our desire to build closer ties with students and recent
graduates, and invest in their capacity for innovation.
Since the Global Conference of 2014, whose Future Lab pro-
vided a forum for interaction between business leaders and
young high potential attendees, all of the Maisons have contrib-
uted to getting the next generation of managers involved in
conversations about strategy. The result has been an outpour-
ing of new ideas and a breakthrough in cross generational
collaboration.
The Group’s new website, which is even more interactive,
refl ecting our employees’ many innovations, illustrates our
determination to help young talents achieve their aspirations
by giving them all the information they need to understand
the LVMH universe in a user friendly, emotionally engaging
environment.
Human Resources is responsible for promoting and champi-
oning these sweeping changes that will drive the develop-
ment of our employees’ creativity and pursuit of excellence.
RECRUITING AT EVERY LEVEL AND
ATTRACTING NEW TYPES OF TALENT
As we continue to grow, it is a strategic priority of our human
resources policy to recruit new people from outside the
Group at every level of the organization and in every business
segment.
This priority refl ects the importance that LVMH attaches to
recruiting people with more varied backgrounds, individuals
who are both pragmatic and creative, enterprising, culturally
open-minded and international, and highly motivated by
premium quality products and the heritage of luxury goods
houses.
The Group’s appeal as an employer stems in part from the
variety of business segments in which it operates and the
many di erent job paths o ered by its Maisons. The career
opportunities at LVMH are unique.
