Testimonials from Armonia employees

"I have been working at Côme for 5 years. After a long period of absence due to my health problems, my manager has proven himself to be an excellent listener. Thanks to the Handisolidaires mission, I was able to get advice and help with the administrative procedures to complete my application to the MDPH ( The Departmental Office for disabled persons in Paris). This personalised assistance and support helped me regain my confidence and helped facilitate my return to the workplace."

"Hello, my name is Elliot, I am 20 years old and I have a professional baccalaureate in NRC (Negotiation and Customer Relations). Today, I was able to meet the Armonia Group, in particular the Oxila company and the Phone Régie company, to find out more about the hospitality and assistant activities. I was able to follow two Oxila employees for half a day in their positions as assistants in a consultancy firm. These activities are incredibly versatile, accessible and rich in human contact. I really appreciated the opportunity to share and discover at your side. Thank you very much for your hospitality".
