At Althéa, we have the honor of working with major organizations, such as the Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area, to support them in improving their administrative and financial management. Our recent intervention enabled the Metropolitan Area to effectively recover its Social Security daily allowances, a service that represents not only an immediate cash flow gain, but also a valuable time optimization for its teams.
Discover the feedback from Olivier Montaigne, Shared Human Resources Director of the Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area, the City and the CCAS of Nancy, on this collaboration.
Introduction to the Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area and Its Human Resources Director
Olivier Montaigne: “My name is Olivier Montaigne, and I am the Shared Human Resources Director of the Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area and the City and CCAS of Nancy. The Metropolitan Area comprises 20 municipalities and covers a catchment area of over 250,000 inhabitants, located in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. This dynamic territory is recognized for its driving role in innovation, the economy, and the quality of public services offered to its residents. Recently, we undertook a consolidation of the HR departments of the Metropolitan Area and the City of Nancy. This involved reorganizing our teams and upskilling to ensure the continuity of our department. In total, the Metropolitan Area and the City employ approximately 3,500 staff members, which requires solid and responsive HR management.”
The Context of the Partnership with Althéa – How Did You Discover Althéa and Why This Partnership?
Olivier Montaigne: “Contact was established by Mr. Vernay from Althéa, at a time when we were going through a significant reorganization period, related to the consolidation of our teams. With this context, and a recent appointment on my part (less than 6 months), we were observing inherent internal movements with the consolidation project, particularly within our absence management service. Only one person remained in position out of the four usually present. Our skills were improvable, and the organization could be optimized. We therefore seized the opportunity to conduct an audit with Althéa to take stock. It cost us nothing and we hoped to identify areas for improvement.”
Course of the Collaboration – How Did This Collaboration with Althéa Go?
Olivier Montaigne: “Mr. Vernay was very clear from the outset, and his recommendations proved invaluable. The audit conducted by Althéa’s teams estimated our recovery potential at 200,000 euros, a figure that was subsequently confirmed. The professionalism and simplicity of the exchanges facilitated the execution of the assignment. Our teams were supported effectively, with tailored advice and rigorous follow-up throughout the service.”
Julien Vernay, “Working with Mr. Montaigne and his teams was a very positive experience. The exchanges were always cordial, professional and constructive. It is satisfying for us to see that our recovery estimates were confirmed. I have an excellent memory of this collaboration.“
A Collaboration Synonymous with Clarity and Efficiency – How Would You Describe the Collaboration with Julien Vernay?
Olivier Montaigne: “In summary, in three words: clarity, simplicity and efficiency. In less than 5 months, Althéa was able to provide us with concrete solutions to regularize the last 24 months with immediate results, particularly in terms of cash flow.”
Would You Recommend Althéa to Other Organizations?
Olivier Montaigne: “Yes. We were fully satisfied with the quality of the work provided.”
What Are the Future Prospects?
Olivier Montaigne: “Thanks to Althéa’s intervention, we have identified several best practices to adopt for the future. This allows us to refine our internal processes and aim for upskilling of the teams. Should the need arise in the future, we know that we can call on them.”
Julien Vernay: “We appreciated the collaboration with the Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area, which proved very professional and committed to ensuring proper recovery of the amounts due. It is with pleasure that we will work together again, should the opportunity arise.“
The Greater Nancy Metropolitan Area is a key public player in Lorraine, with a strong mission to offer quality services to its residents. At Althéa, we are proud to contribute to the efficiency of these services through interventions that maximize cash flow and lighten the daily management of human resources.
