The number of employees on the boards of directors should remain stable

How many employees should a board of directors have? One, two or three? Is there an ideal number? On the Paris market, this question has been debated since a 2013 law brought employees into the boards of private sector companies.

In March 2018, the government entrusted Nicole Notat, the former trade unionist and boss of the extra-financial rating agency Vigeo, and Jean-Dominique Sénard, the former manager of Michelin, with a mission to redefine the role companies . They then recommended the presence of at least three employees on boards of more than 12 members.
