France: It Is Not Necessary To Include A Personalized Profile Of The Employees Concerned In The Search For A Redeployment Position (Cass. Soc., March 17, 2021, N°19-11.114)

Before any redundancy, the employer is required to search for redeployment opportunities within the French companies of the group to which it belongs.

The French Hight Court considers that the search for available positions in the group does not have to be accompanied by the personalized profile of the employees concerned by the redeployment. It is sufficient to mention the list of jobs to be eliminated with their title and classification.

On the other hand, if an offer of redeployment is subsequently made to the employee, it must be precise.
