Bon Voyage!

Recently, we bid a fond farewell to several AREVA Resources employees, who have been transferred to other companies in the AREVA group.

Dean Kennedy, an organizational and employee development advisor from our Saskatoon office, is one of them. In October, between the language lessons, wrapping up things at work and packing away his life in Saskatoon, the soon-to-be expatriate found a few minutes to share his thoughts on the big move.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Paris, France. I'll be working out of the corporate office, which is in the La Defense business district.

What will you be doing?

I'll be a human resources advisor working directly with the Industrial Direction of the Mining Business Unit. I'll be working with managers and employees on performance management, succession planning, compensation, employee development, applying HR policy and any other Human Resources challenges or opportunities that arise. It's a two-year assignment.

What appealed to you about the move?

I believe this experience of working in a new role in a different location will enable me to gain a greater appreciation of the bigger business we are a part of, while also expanding my experience as a human resources and business professional.
