OUTfront: LGBTQ+ inclusion

Fostering a Culture of Pride and Belonging

At Capgemini, we believe that inclusion fuels innovation. We are dedicated to building a workplace where every employee feels safe, seen, supported and empowered to express their authentic selves and contribute their best ideas. Inclusion isn’t just a value we hold; it’s a mindset we practice every day.

Our leadership champions inclusion as a strategic priority. From gender-neutral job descriptions to inclusive hiring practices and specialized counseling, we’ve embedded inclusion into every step of the employee experience. Our programs aim to cultivate a culture where differences are celebrated and everyone can thrive.

The LGBTQ+ Ally Network: Driving Change Since 2017

Launched in May 2017, the LGBTQ+ Ally Network has played a vital role in raising awareness of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression within the workplace. We regularly conduct gender sensitization workshops for leadership, business teams, and employees across levels. We’ve also introduced gender-neutral restrooms in all our facilities because belonging must be reflected in our everyday spaces.

At Capgemini India, we are unwavering in our belief that equality and respect are fundamental rights. We view LGBTQIA+ inclusion not only as a matter of fairness but as a business imperative. Diverse perspectives help us solve complex problems and drive innovation—so we intentionally create environments where all employees, regardless of identity, can succeed.

We’ve designed a range of initiatives to continuously advance LGBTQIA+ inclusion in our workplace:

  • Sensitization Sessions: Equipping teams with the awareness to embrace and advocate inclusion and fairness.
  • HR Policy Reviews: Updating policies with inclusive language, such as using “partner” in place of gender-specific terms
  • Bias-Free Practices: Embedding fairness into daily operations and performance assessments
  • Safe Dialogue Platforms: Encouraging open conversations through internal channels like podcasts and Daily+

These efforts are grounded in our D&I charter and guided by our non-discrimination commitment.

At Capgemini India, we are proud to offer inclusive benefits that affirm and support the wellbeing of our LGBTQ+ colleagues. All listed benefits are extended to employees eligible under the Capgemini India benefits plan, reflecting our belief that every individual deserves equal care, dignity, and opportunity.

  • Gender Affirmation Surgery: Inclusive medical coverage that supports transgender employees through their gender affirmation journey.
  • All-Gender Washrooms: Available across all office locations to ensure comfort and respect for all gender identities.
  • Non-Discrimination Policy: Strong commitment to fairness in daily operations, performance appraisals, and career growth pathways.
  • Awareness in Induction & Hiring: D&I sensitization embedded into onboarding and recruitment, reinforcing inclusion from the start.
  • Culture Brain & Bias Workshops: Programs designed to raise awareness, challenge unconscious bias, and build inclusive mindsets across teams.
  • Celebration of LGBTQ+ Milestones: Active collaboration with external partners to honor Pride, Trans Awareness Week, and other key dates through events, roundtables, and learning sessions.

Take Pride, Take Action

As part of our broader purpose to build an inclusive and sustainable future, our “Take Pride, Take Action” campaign showcases our journey of allyship, education, and policy innovation in support of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s not just a statement, it is a call to action that empowers every employee to be part of meaningful change.
