Management Report
2012
17
There are many local initiatives aimed at improving the daily working lives of our employees. The
studio in Montreal, for example, set up a well-being clinic for all employees and their families, which is
open five days a week. Ubisoft Montreal has also been certified a “Healthy Enterprise” by the Bureau
de normalisation du Québec since 2010. This standard aims to ensure the continuous improvement of
practices that focus on health and well-being at work at Ubisoft Montréal.
Ubisoft also vows to prioritize smaller structures wherever possible (85% of sites have fewer than 200
employees) where managers are available to their teams and HR managers are in close contact with
daily operations. In the last internal survey, more than 92.2% of employees said that they were happy
with the level of contact with their managers.
Despite its ever increasing size, Ubisoft has always sought to cultivate and preserve this friendly, open
and outward-looking atmosphere.
