« I like working at the IVI because my personal mission is in line with the organization’s mission. In fact, knowing that the projects I take part in will have a positive impact on the environment makes my job very stimulating. In addition, I like the human approach that is advocated, since it ensures that we care about the employees and their health. In this way, I believe that we are happier, more motivated and perform better, which accelerates the mission…my mission! »
