In January and October 2024, the 8th and 9th editions of the International Analytics Manager Academy (AMA) were held, bringing together 36 new BNP Paribas Cardif participants from France, Europe and Latin America, with many profiles.

Founded in 2018, this ambitious and intensive training in Data Sciences is delivered in partnership with École Polytechnique, under the sponsorship of Stanislas Chevalet, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Transformation & Development, and Michael de Toldi, Chief Analytics Officer. It’s one of the key measures to support BNP Paribas Cardif’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) transformation.

AMA aims to train our changemakers, leaders of today and of tomorrow, to help them spread the AI culture throughout the company and equip them to ask the right questions and make the right decisions. They can thus leverage AI to boost the creation of strategic value for our partners, customers and employees, serve operational efficiency and contribute to risk reduction.

To achieve these goals, AMA brings both a precise and rigorous understanding of AI, by diving into its technical fundamentals with the best experts at Ecole Polytechnique, and how we create value through AI, by exploring BNP Paribas Cardif’s AI ecosystem with our in-house experts.

In total, more than 140 managers, top managers, talents and key actors of our AI ecosystem, have already been trained in all these subjects thanks to this excellence program between BNP Paribas Cardif and Ecole Polytechnique Executive Education.

Congratulations to all participants for their efforts and proactivity and also to all the employees who contributed to these editions by organizing conferences and sharing their expertise and experiences.

The Analytics Manager Academy will be back for a 10th edition!

Alpha is one of them! A BNP Paribas Cardif employee for 4 years, he arrived as a temporary worker, and is now manager of the Standards & Approvals team. And all that in just one and a half years! His goal is to pass on all of his expertise to his team, and thus help them develop their skills. But what is his #unexpectedjob? 

“I’m often asked questions about my job and what I do on a daily basis. And what if I told you that I’m no longer a Financial middle-office team leader, but in fact a Wealth management’s midfielder? 

As a team leader at BNP Paribas Cardif, I supervise the quality and reliability of financial data at an entity specialized in wealth management, with banks outside of the BNP Paribas Group, while developing my team.

In other words, I’m responsible for securing the flow of financial information, from the publication on the market to the application in client contracts, and also managing offerings and financial products in IT systems. This is why Wealth management’s midfielder.”

For 10 years, the Odyssée building has been the workplace of over 4,000 BNP Paribas Cardif employees and above all, a living work environment. Located in Nanterre, in the Hauts-de-Seine region of France, the building provides its occupants with an ideal innovative work environment inside a modern complex. Let the guided tour begin!

Work in dynamic and welcoming spaces

To respond to new ways of working within the company, BNP Paribas Cardif has developed dynamic Flex Office spaces. Implemented a few years ago, this system allows employees to choose individual or collaborative workspaces, promoting communication and cross-functionality between teams.

Used by all employees for various purposes, these spaces are designed to be used as collaborative workspaces but also places to relax.

At BNP Paribas Cardif, workspaces are constantly evolving to adapt to new practices, following Smart Working¹ principles.

Two new collaborative spaces have recently opened: the Blue Spot and the Green Spot. These rooms offer both formal and informal workspaces to promote wellness, performance and collaboration between teams. These spaces also encourage agile working², which is very appreciated by our employees.

Benefit from unique spaces devoted to innovation and creation

Innovation is at the core of our company’s strategy. To this end, Cardif Lab’ was created in 2014 to highlight the company’s digital innovations and anticipate new market trends. A true hub of experience and creation, Cardif Lab’ promotes the spread of innovation within the company and introduces employees to issues surrounding tomorrow’s insurance industry.

The “Customer Room”: another innovative area. This immersive space allows teams to become more familiar with their clients’ customer journeys by experiencing the journey themselves. The technology used is a hologram, which adds weight to the customer’s testimony, involving a real “physical” presence. The results are unanimous: the Customer Room inspires all employees and their managers to better embody the client into their daily actions. Following its success, the project won the Argus d’Or 2022 prize for Best Managerial Innovation.  

Enjoy a dynamic workplace

To contribute to employee wellbeing, there are many services available within the building itself: a gym, concierge services, a media library, a bank branch, a hairdresser, an osteopath, a telemedicine booth, etc. This wide range of amenities means that employees can benefit from local services without even leaving their workplace.

The main corridor, connecting all areas of the building, is the company’s beating heart. It often hosts entertainment during celebrations or events. In 2021, Odyssée celebrated its 10th anniversary with an Ancient Greece-themed party, in a nod to the building’s Homeric name!

Enjoy nature

Odyssée’s green areas are an integral part of employees’ daily lives with water features and gardens. This design also allows employees to support biodiversity by taking part in various outdoor workshops, for example vegetable garden maintenance for green-fingered employees.

At Odyssée, it’s possible to work and get a breath of fresh air thanks to several outdoor structures that are side-by-side with nature. These spaces are located in the gardens themselves or on the building’s many terraces.

In terms of food services, whether they choose to eat indoors or outdoors, alone or in a group, Odyssée’s employees and visitors have many choices: the building has its own brasserie, cafeteria and canteen.

Changes in 2022

In 2022, Odyssée started hosting other BNP Paribas Group employees for the first time: Asset Management and Wealth Management. Odyssée has become a multi-occupancy building, with the largest amount of Group’s residents.

The specific layout of the building allows our company to constantly adapt to new practices but also to our employees’ needs. Whether it’s through workspaces, the diverse range of services or the special work environment, everything has been designed to allow teams to evolve in their ideal surroundings, allowing them to flourish both professionally and personally. Come and see by yourselves!

_{⁽¹⁾ Smart Working is the goal that BNP Paribas set in order to continue to develop our ways of working over the coming years.
⁽²⁾ Agile project management is a method that allows teams to plan a project with short-term goals. This practice also promotes collaboration between teams and makes the client the focus of every action. It is considered a more flexible method than traditional project management methods.}
