Inclusion – Future of workInclusion – Future of work

Diversity and inclusion

We’re breaking down barriers to a better future

At Capgemini, we believe that a workplace where everyone feels valued for who they are, isn’t just a powerfully competitive advantage, but that building a culture which truly represents the diversity of the society we exist in, is simply the right thing to do!
 
That’s why we’re working with global and local organizations and our own employees to ensure that we create equal opportunities for all, address biases at the workplace, and equip all our managers with skills required to be truly inclusive leaders.

Capgemini is committed to equality of opportunity and dignity at work for all, irrespective of caste, religion, race, gender, colour, creed, ethnic or national origin, marital status, sexuality, disability, class or age. At Capgemini, managing diversity is not an option – it is a moral and business imperative that honours our humanity, gives it meaning, and paves the way for sustainable growth in the new socio-economic order.

Our commitment

As part of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, we have defined objectives at the Group level to guide our progress. In India, we currently stand at 45% gender diversity as of the end of 2025, and our goal is to sustain this achievement. At the global Group level, our objective is to increase the representation of women in executive leadership roles to 35% by 2030.

Winspire: Advancing gender balance

As a global technology and consulting leader, Capgemini has long held the belief that a vibrant, workforce and an inclusive culture are fundamental to our identity and success, bringing more creativity and distinctive ideas to the table.

One of our key priorities remains to address the gender gap which is still present in our industry. Women are key to shaping the future of the digital economy and, we strive to create a culture so that all women colleagues feel encouraged to bring their true selves to work, get involved in decision-making processes at different stages and excel in their journey with us. Women at Capgemini strives to create a more inclusive work environment where women can feel fully supported in their professional and personal endeavours. It is a global program adopted in 2012 to set the overarching guidelines around gender balance across the Group, it is based on the fundamental principle of “equal opportunities, equal chances”.

OUTfront : LGBTQ+ Inclusion

OutFront; Our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer plus (LGBTQ+: we use the plus (+) to ensure that we are inclusive of all identities) network OUTfront supports our inclusion ethos, to drive an organization that is more inclusive and better equipped to support colleagues and clients in an increasingly diverse global marketplace. Our endeavour is to provide a safe and inclusive work environment, a more productive and barrier-free workplace, and ensure LGBTQ+ employees can bring their whole selves to work and realize their full potential at Capgemini.

Embracing abilities

At Capgemini, we recognize the challenges faced by people with disabilities due to inadequate infrastructure and lack of awareness, which often hinder their ability to earn a decent living. We view this as both a social responsibility and a unique opportunity to foster inclusion in the economic value creation process. By systematically building awareness and competence, we aim to tap into this underutilized talent pool, appreciating the significant business value they bring.

Neurodiversity inclusion

our commitment to Inclusion is deeply rooted in embracing neurodiversity. We believe that fostering a culture where cognitive differences are celebrated and valued is essential to our success. Through targeted initiatives in neurodiversity, alongside gender parity, veteran inclusion, and more, we strive to create a workplace that reflects the diverse neurological perspectives of the world we serve. Our inclusive approach empowers neurodivergent employees to thrive by bringing their unique strengths to work, fuelling innovation, enhancing collaboration, and driving collective growth.

Veteran hiring and inclusion

Veterans bring a wealth of skills and experiences gained through their service to our nation. These attributes – leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and a strong work ethic – are invaluable in any workplace. We recognize that supporting veterans is not just a moral duty but also a smart business decision. We’ve established a dedicated Veterans Employee Resource Network Group (ENRG) called JOSH, a supportive community for veterans and their allies within our organization. JOSH not only provides networking opportunities and resources to help veterans transition smoothly into civilian careers but also actively works towards attracting, engaging, and recruiting more veterans to join our organisation.

Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism is the phenomenon of multiple groups of cultures existing within one society. Through this pillar at Capgemini in India, we commit to hire, develop and progress more talented people from groups that are under-represented, and to foster a culture where everyone who works for or alongside us feels welcome and respected irrespective of their race or ethnicity.

We believe that inclusion drives innovation and creativity, enabling us to deliver better solutions for our clients. Our commitment to multiculturalism ensures that we bring together a wide range of initiatives, perspectives and experiences, fostering a dynamic workplace.

Employee wellbeing: A tailored approach

At Capgemini India, we understand that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ in employee wellbeing. We adopt diverse approaches to support individuals with unique needs, recognizing that wellbeing impacts productivity, engagement, and happiness.

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. 

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. Read more on our progress towards our commitments.
