Law n° 2025-989 of October 24th, 2025 (Article 3), transposing the national interprofessional agreements promoting the employment of experienced/senior employees and relating to the evolution of social dialogue, replaces the professional interview with the career development interview (Article L6315-1 of the French Labor Code).
The six key changes to remember from this reform are as follows:
• The career development interview takes place within the year following the employee's hiring, and then every four years, instead of every two years previously;
• A career development interview is only conducted after certain periods of absence if the employee has not had a career development interview during the 12 months preceding their return to work;
• Career path reviews are now conducted every 8 years, compared to every 6 years previously;
• A career path review is now scheduled during the 45th calendar year;
• During the career path review held at age 58 or 59, the conditions for maintaining employment and the possibilities for end-of-career adjustments are discussed;
• By October 1, 2026, collective agreements concerning career path reviews that are in effect on that date must be revised.
The new intervals between career path reviews result in longer waiting times, which could compromise the main objective of these reviews, namely the monitoring and support of employees.
These provisions came into effect on October 26, 2025, for companies that had not concluded collective agreements on this subject.
No transitional provisions have been put in place for employees already in their positions when the law came into effect, which could lead to difficulties in reconciling the new and old rules.
