In Cool Roof, we don’t forget the H in HR. ” H ” of human kindness, and a management that puts people at the heart of everything. Amandine Kerjean, HHR in Cool Roof, has taken up his pen to this editorial. It presents the implementation of a vision benevolent management human in Cool Roof — in every sense of the term.
In Cool Roof, we have always believed that our success was that of our employees. I am proud to share how, within the human resources department, we are building every day an employer brand that combines quality of life at work, gender and CSR commitments.
Beyond words, we decided to act : telecommuting unlimited, management benevolent, gender equality, inclusion etc., all of the concrete commitments that we carry every day to make Cool Roof a place where everyone can thrive. In a world where benevolence is sometimes mocked, we have chosen to make a value that is non-negotiable. Because you have to take care of our teams, it’s also taking care of our collective future. 
Read this editorial to discover how we build an employer brand that reflects our environmental and social values, while placing the human at the heart of our priorities.
In a world of work in the midst of transformation, to join a company, it is much more than a simple career choice : it is a decision that will impact deeply daily life. In Cool Roof, we do not make empty promises : every HR initiative that we put in place has for objective to sustainably improve the lives of our teams.
We are building on strong values : equity, inclusion and well-being at work. These principles are not just words ; they are translated into concrete actions that make Cool Roof a committed employer, attentive to the needs of each, while remaining aligned with our environmental commitments and the societal.
Each employee and collaborator in Cool Roof is unique, and we do everything we can to recognize this singularity. We have recently set up a telework policy unlimited, allowing each one to organize his work according to his personal and professional needs.
This flexibility comes with a clear framework : shared goals, and tools to ensure the performance and well-being. I can cite the example of an employee-helping who was able to adjust his schedule in everyday life, even at the last minute to accompany his elderly parents at the various medical appointments, while maintaining a full professional involvement. I could see a self-help natural, spontaneous in the teams and it is this that makes Cool Roof, a company with strong values.
We’ve also invested in ergonomic equipment to facilitate the work, whether it be office adjustable seat suitable or accessories to enhance the comfort of the application and without the need for medical evidence.
In Cool Roof, we firmly believe that transparency is the basis of a relationship of trust. This is why we have as a mission in 2025 to build a grid of remuneration clear and fair. For equal skills, everyone benefits from the same treatment, without areas of shadow.
But we want to go even further. In 2025, we are committed to further structure our practices in HR, with an ethical framework strengthened, in order to continue to ensure pay equity and working without a flaw.
I am particularly proud of our telework policy unlimited. This bold choice, against the current of the current, allows our teams to find a balance between professional and personal life, while giving them the freedom to organize their work as they wish.
The feedback of the employees are extremely positive : this measure has not only strengthened their commitment, but also their job satisfaction. We have shown that this flexibility is consistent with the ambitious goals and measurable results. The productivity has not suffered, quite the contrary. And it is with pleasure that we find our colleagues at meetings face-to-face.
In Cool Roof, we believe that the diversity of perspectives is a source of innovation and creativity. This is why we make gender equality a priority in all of our initiatives, HR and management.
In practical terms, this requires particular attention to the fair working conditions : equal pay for equal skills, opportunities for training and development offered in an equitable manner, and the implementation of measures to promote a balance work life and personal life for all.
We also engaged in outreach work with our teams to identify and deconstruct the unconscious biases, including in our recruitment process and assessment. These efforts are essential to ensure that every talent, regardless of gender, can achieve their full potential in an inclusive environment.
For us, inclusion is not only a word ; it is a daily reality. We are actively working to inclusion of persons with disabilities, to adapt to the positions and to raise the awareness of our teams. Here, every employee is considered individually in order to adapt our practices, our HR policies to everyone.
We have also strengthened our partnerships with structures of social inclusion, such as ESAT, to make inclusion a priority. These actions reflect our belief : diversity is a richness, and everyone deserves to find its place.
As HR, I believe deeply in the power of the benevolence in business. This word, often mocked or misunderstood in some organizations, however, is at the heart of our approach in Cool Roof. For us, to be benevolent, this is not to be weak or complacent : it is a commitment to treat each employee as a person first, with its strengths, needs, and sometimes its weaknesses.
Concretely, this means that we remain attentive to the well-being of our teams, creating a culture of active listening. In Cool Roof, nobody should be afraid to express his own ideas, doubts or problems. We have put in place times regular exchange and tools for every voice to be heard, whether it’s a suggestion, a constructive feedback or need support.
Be benevolent, it is also action : allow adjustments to their schedules to meet the constraints of a personal, encouraging managers to adopt a posture of support and remember that the human being must take precedence over short-term results.
This benevolence is not a mere slogan, but a strategic choice. We are convinced that a management-friendly and human, is key to building a collective committed and sustainable. In Cool Roof, there is no place for the condescension, or contempt, only for the listening and the co-construction.
Join Cool Roof, this is not just a job : it is to integrate a vibrant community with strong values and a vision for the future.
We believe that another way of working is possible, in a manner that places the human at the heart of everything. So, what are you looking for in your next professional challenge ? Join us as we and become a part of a transformation of human and professional, the service of a more equitable and sustainable.
