Hello Sophia, could you introduce us to the Ingena group?

Hello Nicolas! Ingena is a group specializing in Banking, Finance and Insurance. We are structured around four distinct but complementary entities, working in synergy. We firmly believe in collaboration and avoid compartmentalization.

Ingena Conseil is our business and operational consulting unit.

Ingena Intégration integrates partner solutions in the fields of Data, Risk, Credit and Customer Relations.

Ingena Assurance, as its name suggests, focuses on the insurance sector. Our services include business and technical consulting, project management and governance, and regulatory compliance.

Last but not least, Drims is our services company, specialized in banking and, above all, market finance, where we cultivate our dual IS and functional skills.

All in all, the Ingena Group employs over 130 BFA specialists, working together to add value at every stage of a project.

That's really impressive! And what is your long-term vision for Ingena?

Our ambition is to becomethe BFA leader in responsible data. We are committed to supporting our customers throughout the entire application cycle, combining technical expertise with business knowledge. We also focus on corporate social responsibility, because we believe it's crucial to contribute to a desirable world.

Which brings us to Ingena's values. Can you tell us more about them?

Of course we do! At Ingena, we are guided by three core values: commitment, integrity and caring. 

We are committed to a proactive CSR policy and support our customers with ESG solutions.

Our responsible practices cover eco-responsibility, employee well-being, ethics and social issues. In fact, we were awarded Gold status in our latest Ecovadis assessment (top 5% of companies in our sector).

Caring and integrity are just as essential to us. We foster a culture of closeness and respect, where every employee is recognized and valued for his or her skills, and integrated into the life of the company.

Speaking of employees, the IT services sector is highly competitive. How do you attract and retain the best talent?

It's true, and our response to this challenge is simple: we put people at the heart of everything we do. Our approach to recruitment is based on caring and proximity. What's more, we're committed to offering our employees ongoing training opportunities, through regular workshops and training sessions on a variety of subjects.

As soon as you join us, you become part of the Ingena family. We regularly organize team-building activities, aperitifs and afterworks to strengthen team cohesion.

Top management is accessible and responsive, and everyone can make a contribution.

Is there a defined onboarding process at Ingena?

Absolutely. We place great emphasis on welcoming and integrating newcomers. Even before they arrive, we invite them to have lunch with us and take part in our activities. During their first week, we organize a series of presentations to familiarize them with our team and our offerings. We do everything we can to make them feel at home from day one.

Finally, Sophia, why don't we join you?

That's a good question! Well, I'd say: don't join us if you don't like to laugh! We know when it's time to have fun and when it's time to get to work. So, if you're looking for a rigid, formal environment, Ingena may not be for you. And besides, we might not even ask you to join us!

That's probably the best answer we've had to this question, thanks Sophia!
