Reimagining the way we work

Hybrid working is our day-to-day reality at Capgemini. Underpinned by our trust-based managerial culture, we aim to empower everyone, in all countries, to deliver exceptional work – contributing to an inclusive and sustainable future for our people, our clients, and society.

“We have a unique opportunity today to reimagine the way we do business, the way we work, and the way we live. We also have an opportunity to track the real fight of our generation: the fight against global warming.”

Aiman Ezzat, Group Chief Executive Officer

A hybrid-first way of working

There are three key elements to our hybrid working model: flexible working, connected spaces, and a skills-based approach to talent, providing borderless career opportunities for our employees.

Flexible working

Colleagues have flexibility when it comes to when and where they get their work done, allowing a better work-life balance and greater empowerment. Employees work with their managers to determine an arrangement that works best for their role and personal circumstances.

Our team members are fully supported in hybrid ways of working, notably through:

  • company-provided equipment to ensure colleagues working from home do so safely and comfortably
  • work practices to encourage in-person social interaction to strengthen relationships in a hybrid world
  • guidance and training to support well-being – notably through a global platform, including the right to disconnect for a healthy work-life balance

As part of our Flexible Work program, Capgemini allows employees to work temporarily from over 20 countries for up to 45 days through the Flex Abroad program. We know work-life balance is the cornerstone of a positive employee experience. Flex Abroad gives team members an opportunity to adjust their working environment according to their personal needs. International and bi-national employees can extend the length of an overseas visit to family or friends by a few extra working days, while any employee who feels the need to occasionally change their working environment can do so, whatever the reason.

We use an employee feedback tool to take the pulse of how our people are feeling and to understand what is important to them wherever in the world they’re working. This confidential survey informs our action plans and decisions regarding well-being, diversity and inclusion, and engagement.

Connected spaces

As a global leader in digital transformation, we believe modern and inclusive environments encourage innovation. We provide state-of-the-art, flexible, and collaborative office spaces to help our people be as productive as possible when they are in the office.

This physical environment is combined with digital tools to facilitate virtual collaboration and remote delivery. This enables our teams, partners, and clients to work together and apart in more flexible ways, delivering greater value to clients. Our people will be fully supported in the transition to a hybrid way of working with the necessary training and resources.

Skills-based talent deployment

We leverage our hybrid working model to help our people meet their career expectations and further enhance their experience by fostering cross-staffing and collaboration, providing them with broader and more diverse work opportunities.

Through a global digital platform, our team members are empowered to express their aspirations. Supported by artificial intelligence, they have visibility into the opportunities that best match their skills and aspirations and are able to apply for these, becoming actors in the choice of their next engagement.

“Effective leadership in a hybrid environment requires building trust differently with teams and colleagues, empowering team members to take ownership of their ideas and work, and enabling flexibility.”

Anne Lebel, Group Chief HR Officer

Not only are these new ways of working better for our people, they are also better for the environment. By reducing the need for regular travel and the energy that it consumes, we are providing a more sustainable way of delivering our projects, contributing to our target to be net zero by 2030.

“With the evolution to today’s hybrid-first work environment, we are shaping together the future we want for Capgemini – more sustainable, more digital, more collaborative, more respectful of personal balance and diversity, and more international in engagements – in order to bring our clients the best combination of innovation, expertise, and proximity.”

Vincent Moreau, Head of Global Talent Deployment

Sustainable ways of working

We drive internal change across every aspect of our operations, while helping our clients address their own environmental challenges. 

The Capgemini Flexible Work program has been considered and deployed country by country, in compliance with required local legal processes with employee representatives or other local stakeholders.
