Constraints in France
The previous company GTI was more a family run business thus cultural adaptations had to be made (procedures, strong focus on P&L)
Although the rumor says social protection is very much important in France, it actually costs less to fire someone compared to EU countries
– France: 1/3 month of salary per year of employment within the company
– Italy: 1 month of salary per year of employment within the company
– Portugal and Spain: between 1.5 and 3 months of salary per year of employment within the company
Until recently no partnership (vs. SAP for example) so clear lack of resources in France

Recruitment and Selection
High tech company means two ways of recruiting:
1. Directly by the HR department which is the most common approach
2. With the help of an external consulting firm for very specialized technical profiles, sales persons and management (hunting)
Although there is no assessment center, each candidate has to pass an English test –oral and written
Each selected candidate must receive approval from upper management total number of employees is under control at the company level
No recruitment problems due to the high level of the French education system
Before: young graduates, internal and external mobility, learning on-the-job
Now: industrialization and standardization
Page 32
Compensation
Profit-sharing scheme divided in two parts
1. French law says that above 50 employees it is mandatory to share parts of the profits (aka Participation). The company has no power on the split.
2. Another part can represent 2 to 3 months of salary and is totally in the hands of Intentia regarding the split, the amount etc…(aka Interessement). It’s however a company agreement.
On top of the usual insurance coverage (Social Security), an additional insurance (mutuelle) is added to even better cover medical reimbursements
Laptops and cell phones for everyone
5 weeks of vacation for everyone plus 12 days due to the 35-hour week (2005 numbers)
Maternity and paternity leave, renting aid, heavy home work aid

The Award Program One of the top 10 reasons most cited by employees when leaving
companies is their perception that the company did not recognise and value his/her performance and contribution.
It is an important human need to know one’s contribution is valued.
Compensation plans are an important element in awarding performance but they also have some drawbacks:
– They lack immediacy as they are based on performance over a defined period, usually a year.
– Do not account for the ongoing incidents of good performance.
– Comp plans are structured and formal and can lack the personal element.
– Monetary awards are not the only tool in recognising performance and contribution.
Two key principles underpinning their Total Rewards philosophy are the desire to retain the best and to recognise performance and contribution. An Award program is an additional tool to deliver on these principles.
Page 35
Why Have an Award Program?
Award programs are about the recognition of performance and contribution.
They range from the informal verbal recognition of a job well done to the more formal giving of a tangible non monetary award.
The ultimate objective of an Award program is to engender an inherent culture where strong performance and contribution is recognised and celebrated.
This culture should encompass both the purely verbal recognition as well as the tangible award.
The motivational factors of knowing one is valued and appreciated cannot be underestimated.
The Award program can become a very important and potent tool for management
Page 36
Considerations
The Award program should articulate and reflect the underlying principles. That is, creating a culture where performance is recognised.
It should be immediate. In other words, the recognition, be it verbal or a more formal award, should be given as close as possible to the event that triggered it.
The program should be simple and clear.
The awards should be non-monetary.
Reinforce the principle that recognition of a job well done is not dependent on the giving of a tangible award. A verbal thank you can be as meaningful as a tangible award.
For higher levels of contribution and performance public recognition and celebration are important to the individual concerned and demonstrates to others the behaviours and actions that are valued by Intentia.
Page 37
Perfect Partner Award (‘On the Spot’)
The purpose of this award is to enable management to immediately recognise and commend behaviours and actions that support the achievement of business objectives. Underlying principles:
– Immediate
– Local management ownership
– Highlights and reinforces the behaviours that drive Intentia’s success.
– Employees can nominate colleagues
The level of the award should be nominal e.g.
– Verbal or written recognition of the individual and the behaviour/action
– Intentia merchandise e.g. t-shirts, bags, etc
– Each Business Group (BG, e.g. Southern Europe) would need to determine the appropriate award type
Page 38
Successful Project Completion - Award
On completion of every project a review will be conducted, by management, to determine the success of the project in terms of:
– Financials (revenue and variance)
– Project quality
– Customer satisfaction (customer feedback)
For projects deemed successful, all project participants, along with their spouses, will be taken to dinner by Intentia.
This provision of the Award program also applies to IRD projects.
Page 39
New Deal Celebration
Each and every new deal should be celebrated at the BU level.
– Diploma
– Bottle of Champagne.
– Permanent memento.
Any deal above €500k in licence revenue should be celebrated at the BG level.
– Diploma
– Gift Presented by the BG Manager
– All BUs should be encouraged to recognise the sale.
– Article on the BG Wire homepage
Any deal above €1m should be recognised at the GO level.
– Diploma
– Gift presented by GO Sales Director.
– Deal recognised globally on the Wire (personalised)
Page 40
BG Specific Initiative
From time to time BGs will introduce a specific business initiative to improve business performance.
In many cases successful achievement of such initiatives may be handled as Strategic Objectives within the comp plans.
However, this may not always be appropriate or desireable.
In such cases it may make sense to include the initiative within the context of the overall Award program.
Any awards provided must be consistent with the standard awards provided under the program.
Page 41
Top Performers Award
Annual event for the company very top performers in all functional areas:
– Sales
– Services
– IRD
– Corporate Services
– Also a number of wild card nominations
Page 42
Communication
In the giving of an award how it is communicated to the individual has an important bearing on how the individual perceives the award and the level of pride/satisfaction they take in it.
Communication to the wider population is also very important:
– Individuals will know that their contribution has been publicised and recognised across the organisation.
– Allows others to celebrate success and congratulate those who have been awarded.
– It is an opportunity to reinforce the behaviours and actions that management require.
The Awards given for successful project completion and New Deals will be published on the Wire on a monthly basis.
The Perfect Partner Awards and any BG Initiative award will be published on the BG Wire page.

Hiring
Intentia expands through organic growth and acquisitions. It came to France through acquiring the French company GTI in 1995. This acquisition reduced the costs incurred when a business is built from scratch in a new country and after it started the hiring of new labour force related to the development of the main activity of the French office – sales.
The hiring costs include publishing of announcements for job positions in news papers and internet.
When recruitment of personnel for high managerial positions is demanded, the company uses hunting.
Page 47
Payment
Salaries. The major part of the expenses of Intentia are the salaries of the employees. In terms of salaries the costs are higher than in other countries from Southern Europe.
For comparison we are showing the average salary of a business consultant including VC + Social costs
Note: The salary in a small structure is significantly higher as there is one employee in charge of the business development of the office more experienced staff (salaries are comparable to France)
Bonuses. Each year the employees receive the amount of 2 to 3 monthly gross salaries as additional compensation for their contribution to the profits that the company have realized. This is only true for France.
Country France Italy Portugal Spain Salary in % 100% 123,5% 73,1% 90,6%
Page 48
France Italy Portugal Spain 48% 38% 25% 20%
Payment
Social security charges. The social security charges that the company pays to the state for each employee in France are one of the highest in Europe.
Royalties. The function of the French office is to distribute the products which are developed in Sweden. Thus, it pays more than half a product price of royalties to the Swedish office.
Page 49
Training
A major input, tightly related to the performance of the office is the employees’ up-to-date knowledge.Intentia allocates 5% of the total gross salary of an employee for training.
Due to the nature of the products, the company uses internal training system for technical staff and sales force. Some employees are trained to be trainers later on.
External training systems are also available. For example – leadership programs.
The compensation that the company offers upon dismissing is one-third monthly salary. For comparison in Spain this number is 1,5 month, and in Portugal between 1,5 and 3 months
Dismissing
Page 50
Communication
English is the official language in Intentia and employees are expected to be operational in it. During the job interviews every candidate passes a mandatory English language test.
Cultural differences. The HR department considers that there are not major cultural differences between the management in the different offices and there is exchange of people between the offices.
Centralization. The policy of the company is directed toward centralization, but according to its managers the procedures are much less rigid than in other similar companies and the formalization and justification of expenses are much more flexible.
Products. All products are translated in the language of the country in which they are sold.

Consequences of the crisis:
– Strong competition: Take-over of competitors‘ market shares is only way to grow
– Market concentration: Alliances and take-overs (e.g. PeopleSoft /J.D.Edwards) , the 10 biggest players accounted for 72% in 2000 and for 85% in 2002
– 2/3 of players make losses
– Battle for mid-market between SAP and pure ERP players such as Intentia
– Small players survive in niche-segments
