Talan Luxembourg labelled Best Workplaces® Luxembourg for the first time

Discover the interview of Jonathan Samaras, Managing Director at MBR - Talan

As MBR-Talan has just been labelled Best Workplaces® Luxembourg in the Small Companies category for the first time, we interviewed Jonathan Samaras, Managing Director at MBR - Talan.

#1 - The reason, according to your employees, why your company is a great place to work

The employees say it: it's good to work at MBR-Talan where collective intelligence, agility and entrepreneurship are key elements of our Group's success. In a recent internal survey, 9 out of 10 employees confirm that they feel well supported by their manager and find that their messages are clear. And 8 out of 10 testify that their managers show a sincere interest in everyone as individuals.

And in these unprecedented times, MBR-Talan employees are more determined than ever to continue to make our company a Great Place To Work®.

#2 - The benefit that the Best Workplaces® Label brings/will bring to your company

This 4th place is recognition of our values and the cohesion of our teams. Our colleagues are more than ever united and involved, among themselves and towards our clients. Great Place to Work® is a reward based on the words of our employees and is a point of pride for all. In addition, every year we carry out an internal survey which enables us to identify areas for improvement to ensure the well-being of our teams. For our candidates, the results of the GPTW survey make them want to join our teams even more!

#3 - The strength of your company

We rely on both technological leverage and our BI expertise. The pooling of the DNA of MBR and Talan (Great Place to Work® France) during their merger strengthens the offer we offer on the Luxembourg market. Collective intelligence consists of combining the diversity of expertise of the women and men of the group with that of our clients and partners. Agility allows us to capitalise on our experiences and to reinvent ourselves for each mission with pragmatism and humility. We have convictions but no certainties. We have a taste for entrepreneurship, daring, daring and are not afraid to experiment.

#4 - The tool/means of internal communication par excellence

Workplace & Teams, collaborative tools that allow our teams to exchange, share and get to know each other. Since the beginning of the confinement, many companies have changed their work organisation methods. The sense of collective, mutual aid and solidarity are, in these circumstances, essential to manage the link as well as possible and maintain it. And these two collaborative tools par excellence have enabled us to maintain it.

#5 - Your HR priority for 2020

In the current context, preserving the health of everyone (employees, customers and partners) is our top priority. We are seeking to grow our staff, consolidate our expertise and develop our areas of competence in line with the image of our new group. And in this context, we are recruiting BI consultant profiles, but also business analysts, project managers, developers and administrator profiles to join our teams and help us live our values!
