SHOCK TEAM

People are central to the company. The Barn is convinced that the development of each individual within the project will enable it to meet the challenges of change. If the two founders can count on passionate and responsible employees, it is thanks to the requirements they impose on themselves at each recruitment.

Actions :

Recruitment is based on personalities and values.
Each Barner benefits from a personalised monthly support.
The Barn's 120 entrepreneurs make autonomous decisions about stocks, range and shop layout.
Collective meetings are organised every month to use collective intelligence.
