GERESO Édition

GERESO Édition is the publishing arm of the French professional training and consulting group GERESO. Based in France, it produces practical books for professionals in human resources, management, labor law, and related fields. The catalog includes around 274 titles across 16 areas of expertise, available in print and digital formats, often with downloadable bonus materials and online tests. The publishing house traces its roots to 1978, when GERESO (GEstion des RÉgimes SOciaux) was created by Pierre Leroutier, following a consulting firm founded in 1972. Its first publication, the Manuel Pratique "Les Retraites," appeared in 1984 and became a best-seller with over 10,000 copies sold. Over the decades, GERESO Édition has expanded its catalog to cover business creation, strategy, marketing, digitalization, payroll, accounting, finance, recruitment, training, and skills management, among other topics. The authors are field professionals and recognized experts. The brand operates through an online bookstore (librairie.gereso.com) launched in 2012 and offers e-learning modules under the ADN Expert brand. GERESO Édition is a private entity within the GERESO group, which also provides training and consulting services. The publisher's mission is to help professionals develop their skills and well-being at work through reliable, up-to-date, and immediately applicable information.

The origins of GERESO Édition lie in a human resources and retirement consulting firm founded in 1972 by Pierre Leroutier. In 1978, Leroutier created GERESO (GEstion des RÉgimes SOciaux), which initially focused on social security and retirement schemes. The publishing activity began in 1984 with the first edition of the Manuel Pratique "Les Retraites," a practical guide that became a best-seller, selling over 10,000 copies. This marked the birth of GERESO Édition as a brand. In 1995, the GERESO training center opened in Paris Montparnasse, strengthening the group's presence in professional education. The consulting activity was structured in 2005 to offer a wider range of HR services, including individual retirement assessments, payroll audits, and coaching. In 2012, GERESO launched its online bookstore (librairie.gereso.com) and a blog, expanding its digital reach. The following year, 2013, saw the development of e-learning modules under the ADN Expert brand and the opening of a "Business Law" domain. In 2014, GERESO added training in health, safety, and working conditions, professional certificates (CPFFP), blended learning, regional sessions, and public sector training. The group renewed its ISQ-OPQF qualification in 2015, extending it to two new areas: labor law and social relations, and accounting, tax, and financial management. In 2016, GERESO adapted to the French training reform by offering new diploma and certification courses eligible for the CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation). The training center moved to the 44th floor of the Tour Montparnasse. Today, GERESO Édition continues to publish around 274 titles across 16 areas of expertise, with a catalog of nearly 300 printed books, and remains a key player in French professional publishing.
