Chloé Halgrain
Hello Chloé. Can you tell us a bit about your background and your arrival at Colis Privé as a temp?
Hello, my name is Chloe Halgrain, I joined Colis Privé in May as a temporary employee. Before this, I worked in a kindergarten, and it was somewhat by chance that I got into the transportation sector.
What do you particularly enjoy about your role at Colis Privé?
My daily tasks allow me to move around, which suits me very well as I do not like to stay in one place for too long! Moreover, my position is versatile; I can be involved in re-labelling, managing non-mechanical parcels or even helping to receive trucks in the transit area. Hugues Walemme, manager of the Artenay hub, quickly offered you a position, which you accepted. Apart from your interest in the mission, what made you decide to join Colis Privé?
The atmosphere in the company is very pleasant, with a good mix of people on the floor, which helps create a relaxed and supportive environment. Colis Privé is a company that listens to its employees. There's always someone available to advise us, and communication is very fluid.
