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.
Inclusive futures
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 workforce that represents the richness of 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.

Accelerating gender equality in tech
We are building broad talent pools to be able to provide high quality capabilities to our clients, with the right skills and talent mix. Our recruitment or promotion criteria apply to all, only on the basis of skills, performance and potential.
Women are a key part to shaping the future of the digital economy, whether in technology, business, or client-facing roles. We promote gender equality and inclusion for all, offer mentoring and tailored training programs and provide support at key moments in professional and personal lives.

Respecting all ethnicities 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 ensuring all ethnicities are respected 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.
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.
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 nurturing an inclusive culture at work enables innovation and produces value that benefits everyone.
