Diversity and inclusion

We’re breaking down barriers to a better future.

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.

Six ways to create an inclusive workplace

The spirit of Pride isn’t restricted to June alone, and allyship matters every day of the year.

As an ally, you represent and advocate for your LGBT+ colleagues and are key to building a safe and inclusive workplace for everyone.

But how can you effectively advance real change? Showing your support for the LGBT+ community in the workplace can sometimes be tricky to navigate.

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.

Accelerating gender equality in tech

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.

Tackling racism at all levels

As a founding member of the World Economic Forum’s Partnering for Racial Justice in Business initiative, we are committed to building an equitable environment for professionals from under-represented minorities and eradicating racism in the workplace.

In the UK, for example, we have signed the Race at Work Charter from Business in the Community, an organization dedicated to responsible business. While in the US, we have created the Inclusion Leadership Advisory Council to promote the representation and advancement of black, Hispanic, and Asian employees globally.

Embracing people with disabilities and neurodivergences

Capgemini is part of Valuable 500, a global network of CEOs committed to advocating for more capability inclusion. We are committed to embed accessibility by design for our digital tools and workplaces, and increase workforce representation of people with disabilities and neurodivergence through recruitment, sub-contracting, and encouraging self-disclosure.

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. Through these networks and training we aim to increase awareness on disability and neurodiversity.

Building an LGBT+ friendly culture

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.

Empowering inclusive leadership

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.

Be who you need to be? Or just be you?

We believe that diversity combined with active inclusion enables innovation and produces value that benefits everyone.
