Tournaire Onboarding Program: Welcoming and Supporting New Employees

At Tournaire, we deeply believe that the true wealth of a company lies in the strength of the collective. Not just any collective, but one made up of different personalities, unique talents and individual experiences. It is this diversity, this sum of “who we are,” that makes us strong.

Beyond technical skills, sharing our values and our vision of collaboration allows everyone to express their potential and contribute to the success of the organization. Here, we share both challenges and achievements, because the collective journey is more vibrant and more human.

And this collective is built around two guiding principles that run through every profession, every team and every decision.

First, excellence, both technical and human. The constant desire to progress, innovate and deliver solutions to our clients that meet their highest expectations. This high standard is not a constraint: it is a shared source of pride, built on 190 years of Grasse-based expertise.

Then, solidarity, built through projects, the energy of teams moving forward together, and the spirit of collaboration that means that at Tournaire, we succeed together. Everyone contributes to the group while finding their place, their responsibilities and their own space to grow.

And this is what you will discover from your very first day.

At Tournaire, welcoming a new talent is not an administrative formality. It is a collective commitment: giving everyone the keys to understand, contribute and thrive in a demanding yet deeply human industrial environment.

Whether you are joining technical support, production, the design office, or administrative and sales functions, the same care is given to every arrival. A structured and personalized journey, familiar faces from the very first days, and a clear guiding thread to help you quickly find your place within the company.

• A comprehensive onboarding journey that gives meaning: immersion at the heart of the company

You can only truly understand Tournaire by discovering all of its professions. That is why every new recruit follows a complete onboarding journey across all departments — production, logistics, sales management, R&D, quality, IT, and more. This 360° view anchors a sense of belonging to the collective far beyond one’s own job description.

To understand the heart of the company, a supervised immersion on the production lines is one of our most appreciated distinctive features. Whatever your role, you spend time alongside operators and technicians. From deep drawing to extrusion, including varnishing and injection-sealing, understanding how we manufacture means understanding why we exist.

• The welcome booklet: your Tournaire compass

From the moment you arrive, the welcome booklet accompanies you: organization, values, workplace guidelines, practical information such as working hours, site maps, badge access and useful contacts. A true roadmap to help you navigate your first days with confidence and immediately understand what makes Tournaire unique.

• The welcome note, because every arrival matters

In the days following your arrival, a personalized welcome note is shared with all employees: your role, your background, and what led you to Tournaire. A simple and concrete way to say, “welcome to the collective.”

• Workstation onboarding and a culture of training

In our complex industrial environment, workstation onboarding and safety are essential foundations. Taking up a role at Tournaire cannot be improvised. From the very first days, every employee benefits from structured workstation onboarding, complemented by mandatory safety training. This culture of knowledge-sharing continues throughout each employee’s journey, supported by the strength of our Internal School, founded in 2009.

• The onboarding breakfast: conviviality in action

Every quarter, all new arrivals come together for an onboarding breakfast. An informal and welcoming moment, far from organizational charts: discussions with management and HR teams, sharing first impressions, and meeting colleagues from different departments.

This gathering embodies who we are: a company where doors are open, where dialogue is real, and where employee well-being is a reality built every day.

Onboarding does not stop after just a few days; it marks the beginning of long-term support. Regular check-ins with your manager, a professional development review every two years, training tailored to each stage… But also moments beyond the usual framework: seminars, team-building time, events to celebrate, all opportunities where work and conviviality naturally stand side by side.

Joining Tournaire means becoming part of a collective that is committed from day one, and continues to be so at every stage of your journey.
