Integration at work applied to reality: Jonathan Boyer’s testimony

Mr. Jonathan Boyer is one of the various people who have been integrated into the Newrest team and its work by Service Intérim.

In order to successfully integrate Jonathan into the teams and his workstation, the teams were informed of his arrival and supported during the first weeks of his employment. Everyone contributed to the success and integration of this employee.

He said he was “very satisfied with my temporary assignment with Newrest, which was able to adapt the position of cook to my disability.” He also confided that his “position was adapted and I was able to carry out my missions with ease and autonomy. This experience has allowed me to see new professional opportunities, including the realization of a project that is close to my heart: the opening of a food truck.”

With the integration of people with disabilities, the Reunion unit has given itself the means to achieve its objectives. Newrest believes that attracting, developing and retaining employees who reflect the diversity of the company and its communities is essential to its success.
