For a worker who has worked for a regular company all his or her life, the idea of working for an adapted company can be a daunting prospect. How will the interactions go? Will I feel like I belong? After all, novelty can bring uncertainty and generate fear.<\/p>\n\n
That’s why we’d like to share with you the point of view of an experienced employee holding a regular position with an adapted company.<\/p>\n\n
Michael Bergeron, manager of the Quebec City plant, has been working with Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 VIA workers for several years now.<\/p>\n\n
Talking about his experience in an adapted company, he tells us:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n “Being in contact with people with functional limitations on a daily basis reduces prejudice and removes taboos. After a while, you can’t tell the difference, they’re just colleagues at the end of the day. It’s rewarding for everyone to share very positive work experiences.<\/p>\n\n In my relations with my colleagues, I’ve never seen myself as a boss. I’m a collaborator who unites everyone’s strengths to move forward in a common direction that makes everyone satisfied with their achievements.<\/p>\n\n There are a number of advantages to working in an adapted environment. We work on the well-being of the individual, it’s a very human cause. Naturally, it feels like we’re doing something right. In itself, it gives you a sense of pride on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n There’s no need to fight to get points for benefits or better work-life balance. The very foundation of this organization is people-centered”.<\/p>\n\n We urge anyone who puts well-being at work and the value of people at the heart of their priorities to experience working for an adapted company.<\/p>\n\n So many great moments await those who head there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A plant manager shares his positive experience in an adapted company, where prejudices disappear, collaborations are rewarding and everyone’s well-being is a top priority.
