Versatility in response to your challenges
To date, your business must respond to various challenges in order to be a sustainable and competitive company.
First, you need to constantly adapt to your market, demand, and competition. To respond to them, you need to develop your good or service. Finally, for all of this to work, you need to improve skills management of your employees as well as their working conditions.
To do this, the versatility is an effective way to obtain competency management that is appropriate to the needs of your organization.
Numerous resources in your company will be called upon in this management of versatility. However, it is your employees who remain at the heart of this method.
This concept of versatility focuses mainly on two objectives:
- The expansion of a skill to another job, to allow your employee to work on different activities and make them evolve to another position.
- The integration of new skills in the same job, allowing different tasks and missions to be carried out while remaining in the same job.
The benefits of versatility
The benefits of managing versatility in your business are numerous.
First of all, one of the effects of this method on staff isAvoid monotony and the routine of fragmented tasks and missions. In this way, the versatility becomes a tool for the development of well-being at work (more motivation, less risk of occupational diseases, TMS/RPS, etc.).
In addition, the development of versatility allows your employees toincrease their employability. In the same way, you will meet legal requirements, including theArticle L6321-1 of the Labour Code. This stipulates to ensure the adaptation of employees to their job and to ensure that their ability to hold a position is maintained in accordance with developments.
In addition, the employees of your company will have the opportunity tolearn new practices, thanks in particular to training. They are going to develop their skills to be able to work on different workstations or different missions, as required.
Your business then becomes more flexible, by having the ability to carry out various production operations, while maintaining the expected quality and productivity.
In addition to the flexibility of your organization, your employees will increase their performance and their autonomy. This will allow you to identify new talent within your company itself andimproving work organization, especially in the event of the reorganization or implementation of a project.
Indeed, having one or only one specialist is a risk for your business, in the event of departure (parental leave, occupational diseases, etc.) However, thanks to a good management of versatility, it will be possible to fill the absence temporarily, pending the recruitment of a new person. Versatility is also useful when changing jobs or increasing production.
Even if the skills acquired are sometimes used moderately, this is still a advantageous apprenticeship. It allows the employees concerned to better understand the functioning and constraints of other workstations and to better anticipate them at their own level.
Implement versatility yes, but correctly!

- One poor training the employees concerned
- One increased workload That can lead to burn-outs
- One Vague definition of the scope of intervention employees
