Internal mobility at Lesaffre
World leader in yeast production, the Lesaffre Group (10,700 employees, 69 plants, 50 countries) has made internal mobility a strategic lever for building loyalty, developing talent and responding to recruitment pressures.
To support this transformation, Lesaffre has deployed Keycoopt, a digital platform designed to make mobility simple, fluid and accessible to all employees.

Structuring and implementing internal mobility on a large scale
With almost 11,000 employees and a presence in nearly 55 countries worldwide, it was crucial for the Lesaffre Group to structure its processes for managing co-optation and internal mobility.
Against a backdrop of talent shortages and the transformation and diversification of its businesses, the Lesaffre group had to meet several challenges:
- Promote cooperation between entities and break down silos
- Attracting the younger generation (millennials)
- Ensuring the transfer of rare business expertise
Impact of Keycoopt
In 2021, the Lesaffre Group chooses Keycoopt to digitalize and structure its internal mobility policy. The result: a personalized, intuitive platform, distributing job offers to all employees, with the possibility of applying directly internally, recommending a colleague (cooptation), contacting the HR referent easily and viewing internal opportunities before they are published externally.
The solution is part of a broader approach led by human resources, with the support of managers.
- The result: a lively, adopted program, and 3 times more co-optations than before.
The Lesaffre Group has called on Keycoopt System* to deploy a digital platform that will enable it to simply manage its internal mobility policy, distribute its job offers to all Group employees and enable them to apply easily.
