Building an inclusive environment
From inclusion surveys and unconscious bias training to internal global employee networks and engagement initiatives, we seek to understand the needs, and hear the voices, of all our people.
At Capgemini, we believe a workplace where everyone feels valued for who they are isn’t just a powerful moral responsibility – it’s also a source of competitive advantage. By having a diverse workforce that represents our society, and by fostering an inclusive culture, we’re building a place where our people can thrive.
That’s why we’re working with global and local organizations and our own employees to ensure we create equal opportunities for all, address bias in the workplace, and equip all our managers with the skills to be truly inclusive leaders.

At Capgemini, we take pride in our inclusive culture. Pride is a sentiment that shapes a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive work environment, empowering all our people to thrive, regardless of their gender identities and sexual orientations.
Instead of adding a rainbow to our logo for Pride month this year, we’ll continue working closely with OUTfront, our award-winning global employee network group operating in 26 countries, to organize awareness programs, update our travel, parental leave, medical policies, and more, ensuring LGBT+ inclusion all year round.
Building a vibrant, inclusive, and equitable culture in the workplace means supporting our colleagues of all abilities, enabled by a culture of active listening. Hear from our colleagues to learn about their inspiring stories, experiences, and achievements and join our journey to shape inclusive futures for all!

Women are key to shaping the future of the digital economy, whether in technology, business, or client-facing roles. We have launched an ambitious program focused on improving female representation in recruiting, providing mentoring opportunities, and supporting women at key moments in their professional and personal lives. We have committed to having women make up 40% of our workforce by the end of 2025, with 30% female representation on our executive leadership teams. Read more on our progress towards our commitments.

Globally we are expanding our CapAbility and NeuroAbility Employee Network Groups, now in 11 countries and growing – to connect and support employees with disabilities, neurodivergence, mental health, long term health conditions, care givers and allies.
Capgemini facilitates a safe environment that respects all sexual orientations and gender identities: lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer along with their allies. Since 2007, we have been expanding our OUTfront global employee network, whose mission is to provide a forum for education and awareness supporting the professional growth and recognition of LGBT+ people. OUTfront currently operates in 26 countries.
As of 2021, our managers and executives participate in inclusive leadership training, including a workshop on unconscious bias, to develop new mindsets and behaviors. This training is designed to help our people to recognize any biases they have, understand the impact they have on decision-making, and address them in order to ensure an inclusive and productive culture.
Our conviction is that there has never been a better time to leverage technology and human capabilities to tackle environment, social and governance (ESG) challenges.
