The updated salary scale becomes a real lever to attract and retain talent, where competition in the labor market becomes more intense every day.
Real advancements are taking shape: increases in base salaries, targeted bonuses, better recognition of seniority and hardship. All this clarifies possible career paths: every skill, every experience counts and opens new doors. The FEHAP collective agreement also strengthens internal mobility and diversifies access to professional training, facilitating more agile and motivating career advancements.
Among the most notable measures, we find:
- The establishment of pathways between different professions in social work
- Enhanced access to continuing education and validation of prior learning
- Recognition of personal career paths, with individualized support for career management

Thanks to the FEHAP, employees can gradually shape a trajectory where recognition and commitment no longer collide. Tomorrow, the face of the sector will have changed, not by chance, but by will and consistency.
