We’ve adopted a holistic approach to encouraging and nurturing talent through which we provide our employees with industryspecific knowledge at every stage of their careers. This starts on day one: new team members are onboarded in an industry, they are expected to develop a defined set of skills, they are trained through our industry campus, and even certified in order to recognize their expertise accordingly. They also join an online community, where they can address industry challenges through expert support, knowledge assets, peer engagement and by collaborating with partners. So, it’s really a long-term commitment.We are a global and diverse company, and it is important to grow and learn from each other.
Our professional communities bring together experts no matter where they live and work and, through them, individuals can receive tailored online support, peertopeer learning and participate in community events so that employees can develop the skills they need to perform and grow in a more informal setting. People also learn from experience.
Our commitment extends to crafting career pathways that enable individuals to broaden their expertise by transitioning seamlessly across diverse roles and business domains.
A. L.: Over the past few years, Capgemini has focused on providing a highly engaging people experience, with attention given to key moments that matter in our employees’ lives. We take pride in our culture and founding values such as fun and team spirit. We want new joiners to feel welcome from day one, so our onboarding includes a buddy program for early support and networking opportunities.
At Capgemini we truly believe in our hybrid model: with hybrid working possibilities and flexibility in terms of working hours and work location, our employees can balance their professional ambition with their personal life.
We have active employee-led networks, such as Women@Capgemini, OUTfront and CapAbility, dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion both in the workplace and in society at large. Employees today are driven to tackle social causes such as climate change and biodiversity. Through our global tech challenges, they can learn how to use technology for innovative solutions. This commitment to being an employer of choice was once again rewarded last year by our inclusion in the Universum Top 50 most attractive employers for IT students globally.
A. L.: We recognize that a new type of leadership is needed to “unleash human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future.” This is reflected in our leadership vision, and we look for well-rounded leaders who put the client first and can deliver our strategic ambition to be a leading transformation and technology partner.
We put a premium on promoting, to leadership positions, employees with a variety of skills, knowledge, and experience. Mobility within the Group has always been a key lever to grow leaders and enrich their experience.
We expect our leaders to inspire people and be attentive to diverse needs. Guiding teams in their development, providing feedback, betting on talent, and taking risks to develop people are key principles we want our leaders to demonstrate. And as a multicultural company, we expect leaders to be inclusive. They are equipped to adopt and promote inclusive managerial practices. Unconscious bias and inclusive behaviors are embedded into all our flagship leadership trainings. In 2023, our executive and senior leadership volunteered to host inclusion circles, to have open discussions with their teams either about unconscious bias or the value of diversity and inclusion in business.
