Sixteen percent<\/a> of the world\u2019s population are people with disabilities; 80% of them<\/a> are of working age. These numbers indicate a compelling need to ensure workplaces offer equal opportunities for all to pursue successful careers.\u202f\u202f\u202f <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Capgemini, our colleagues with disabilities and neurodiverse individuals aren\u2019t defined by their limitations but by their capabilities. As a global organization, it\u2019s our priority to ensure all our colleagues are enabled to excel at work, bringing the best of their creativity and innovation to the workplace.\u202fThis doesn\u2019t apply to people with disabilities alone but to each one of our colleagues, providing everyone with a more comfortable and inclusive work environment that prioritizes well-being.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating an accessible workplace is complex and multidimensional.<\/strong>\u202f\u202f <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment to building an accessible workplace \u2013 providing tools, support, and flexibility for our colleagues with disabilities \u2013 comes from the top.\u202fWe were an early adopter of the Valuable 500,<\/a> and our CEO, Aiman Ezzat, recently signed the International Labour Organization (ILO) pledge<\/a>, furthering our commitment to disability-inclusive sustainability practices.\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operationally, we are driving change by working collaboratively with key internal stakeholders who are embedding accessibility principles and processes into core\u202ffunctions. Our actions include building accessible apps through our Group IT function, making office spaces fit for purpose through the Corporate Real Estate and Facilities team, and our work to ensure accessibility throughout an employee\u2019s journey from recruitment to daily communications and our L&D programs.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our award-winning global employee network group, CapAbility, focuses on providing practical support and a platform for networking and advocacy. CapAbility includes a sub-charter, NeuroAbility, that focuses on our neurodiverse colleagues. They are both pivotal in ensuring the culture change needed for success.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
