Club Management & Ressources Humaines Grand Sud-Ouest

Club Management & Ressources Humaines Grand Sud-Ouest was created in 2003, in Paris by Edgard Added, Editor of the magazine RH&M.

This movement is a place where good practices are exchanged between human resource professionals such as consultants, VPHRs, lawyers, legal advisors, etc.

The success experienced by the Mouvement in 2003 offers proof that we pinpointed a need among young VPHRs and more generally all HR professionals, consultants, lawyers, and other facilitators of HR progress... to assert themselves as human resource managers capable of both strategic thinking and operational action.

Mouvement key figures

200 members, including a hard core of approximately 65% VPHRs: a real network that met regularly over 6 breakfast discussions (400 participants, including members and non-members).

9 task forces with themes on the key challenges of the function: age management, social dialog, human capital, internationalization, etc.

The Mouvement 's annual convention, GLOBAL RH 2004, organized at the initiative of CIDEM, attracted 1,200 participants over three days, and the 9 challenges were dealt with during the theme forums with a view to examining the research and group summaries in greater depth.

The Trophies for the CEO/VPHR pairs awarded at GLOBAL RH, which is the end-result of a year of assessing and working on the contribution of VPHRs to strategic thinking, has asserted the interdependence between the quality of the pair and a company's performance.

At the end of an experimental year, all these elements have given the Mouvement a real identity whose leading idea is a more modern and daring vision of the function.

The Mouvement is the vehicle of the "new VPHR" concept marked by the "fracture of the HR generations". It brings together young VPHRs as well as all those who adhere to the same fundamental values and see HRs differently.

The Mouvement ushers in the emergence of a new generation of VPHRs characterized by changes in culture, mentalities and skills, as well as a new approach, a new positioning, new goals, and new missions.

The Mouvement in the Midi-Pyrénées region

The emergence of the Mouvement barely one year ago, the success of prestigious events organized until now in Paris, Jean-Claude Merlane's national role as technical advisor to the president of Mouvement Génération RH , Florence Nony, and of course the Toulouse origins of merlane , made Jean-Claude Merlane the natural instigator and driver of this organization in the Midi-Pyrénées region in March 2004.

The work groups are led by François PEREZ, merlane Associate Consultant, and meet regularly throughout the year to work on current HR issues in general, as well as HR issues specific to the Midi-Pyrénées region.
