Empowering employees on meaningful career and development journeys

Empowering employees on meaningful career and development journeys

At Pernod Ricard, we see careers as a journey rather than a destination. We invest in growth, supporting the performance and development of all our people, providing them with opportunities, and encouraging them to build their skills to pave their own career path.

Harnessing AI to open up more career and development opportunities

In 2024 we launched Horizons, a Group-wide skills-based Talent Marketplace dedicated to employee development. Using AI-powered personalisation, Horizons makes it easier for employees to access the right career and development opportunities based on their professional and personal skills and experiences. This personalised approach empowers our people to design the right career and development journeys for them.

Building a skills-based organisation

Skills are the common thread that connects every part of our employees’ journey.

They help people grow in their current roles, move into new ones, and find the right learning and development opportunities.

At the heart of Horizons is the AI powered talent marketplace, a dynamic hub that matches an employee’s skills and interests with learning, career and growth opportunities. The Career Hub uses professional and personal skills and experiences to tailor career recommendations, learning opportunities, “gigs” (short-term team or project assignments), job openings, and potential mentors. For example, by participating in short-term projects and gigs, employees can develop new skills or strengthen existing ones, all while gaining more diverse experiences. This helps employees to create more flexible career paths.

Horizons enables us to look at learning, development and career progression through a skills lens, making growth opportunities more visible and transparent across the entire organisation. We want everyone at Pernod Ricard to fulfil their potential, feeling empowered and inspired to thrive.
