Holidays and leisure activities: the preferences of employees in Grenoble



1.7% of SEI-SEF's total payroll is distributed across each site based on the number of employees, regardless of the site's executive/non-executive breakdown.
In 2024, across the five sites of the Grenoble establishment, the budget for Social and Cultural Activities (ASC) is €5,740,000 for the 4,773 eligible employees and their 8,000 dependants, 77% of which is redistributed in the form of direct subsidies (from €500 to €5,000) with a subsidy rate varying from 25% to 75% depending on income.

A dynamic and increasingly effective CSE

Since 2021, the number of employees benefiting from the CSE has increased by 33%, from 3,159 to 4,216 eligible employees.

Thanks to the simplification of procedures and the expansion of the offering (hotels, booking platforms, etc.), subsidies have been better redistributed in line with the annual budget.
In 2019, an employee used an average of 45% of their potential subsidy, compared to 78% today.

In eight years, thanks to optimised management, operating costs have been halved.

At the same time, previously accumulated reserves are regularly distributed through the Christmas holiday voucher scheme.
