Sébastien Moreau
A seasoned HR professional for 20 years, I'm passionate about the dynamic TV production, events and entertainment sector, where I've worked as a Production Assistant and Stage Manager (trained as an Arts and Entertainment Technician). My career has enabled me to work in demanding, creative environments where talent management and team development are crucial to success. I have proven experience in managing complete human resources cycles, from recruitment and training to performance management and conflict resolution. In the specific field of television production, events and entertainment, I understand the challenges faced by HR professionals. The often temporary and collaborative nature of these projects requires an agile and solution-oriented approach, something I've been able to develop over the course of my career. I'm passionate about working with talented teams to create a stimulating working environment where each individual can flourish and contribute to the overall success of the company. My ability to understand the specific needs of these industries would enable me to implement tailored talent management strategies, fostering innovation and growth.

In the context of the demerger of a family group, I contributed to the creation of a new HR department and the implementation of performance indicators to manage HR activities. As a fully integrated company, I was able to work with R&D and sales staff, as well as workers and technicians from three production plants. The business was also characterized by the opening of a production unit in Spain and the implementation of a new production process. My tasks involved the introduction of flexible working hours, forward-looking management of employment and skills, and the definition and implementation of a new compensation policy (termination of practices, bonus plan for sales staff, provident/health insurance, employee savings schemes). I mainly recruited production employees, technicians and managers in support and sales functions.
