French companies are doing well and that's good for their employees.
Indeed, their profits increased by a total of 30% in 2022, after a slight drop in 2021, according to figures from the manager Amundi.
An increase which has a direct impact on the securities of participation and profit-sharing paid to the 11 million employees who benefit from it in France.
On average, a person benefiting from these schemes received 1,702 euros, compared to 1,447 in 2021, an increase of almost 18%.
The number of employees who benefited from it also increased by more than 11%.
A device that is still not widely used in SMEs
On the other hand, the increase in the sums received or the more difficult economic context in 2022 have not changed the habits of employees: 70% of the money paid has been saved and 30% transformed into immediate payment.
Savings went a little more towards money market funds, safer, but not very profitable, after several years of decline, “given the context of market volatility”, according to Amundi.
Participation and profit-sharing are still more the fact of large companies than small ones, notes Catherine Leroy, director of employee savings and retirement at Amundi, who calls for "further simplifying the implementation of the system" to remove the brakes on his own. SME.
