Engaged employees for sustainable solutions

Our people are our most valuable asset. As an employer, we’re dedicated to supporting employee skills, fostering professional development and protecting health and safety. We’re also committed to sustainability. As a global company, we provide our clients with sustainable engineering solutions that tackle the environmental challenges of today.

With our Engaged People program, Capgemini Engineering is committed to improving the work environment and creating a common management style and culture across the globe. All our employees benefit from a framework for defining career paths, competence mapping, assessment and development. Because our success depends on each individual’s engagement, we’re dedicated to ensuring their fair treatment and well-being.

Ethics and integrity are fundamental elements of our principles of action with our suppliers and clients. This commitment is not new. Indeed, in 2009, when Capgemini Engineering signed the UN Global Compact’s 10 Principles, our Group confirmed its willingness to work in compliance with the highest ethical standards when conducting business while respecting human rights, international labor standards, environment and anticorruption legislation. In addition, our Ethical charter emphasizes our engagement towards our partners, employees and the society in general. At all times, wherever you operate, and no matter your position, you should always keep in mind that the service we provide is not just the result of our work, but also of how we achieve it. Ethics and integrity should be in your mind as much as excellence in work performance. Corruption is today’s key concern for our Group as it can jeopardize our activities worldwide. In this respect, we have decided to design this Policy to prevent this specific risk. Our objective is to provide a detailed framework of what is expected from each of us. It should serve as a reference for applying Capgemini Engineering’s values in our day to day work.

In several regional markets, we encourage staff to take part in skill-sponsorship programs aimed at public interest initiatives. In France, these projects have involved the themes of culture, solidarity and innovation. In Belgium, we are supporting the Digitalent initiative that gives young people a chance to create a digital project with the help of a tutor from Capgemini Engineering.

OUR INITIATIVES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Altran UK has achieved Investors in People accreditation, awarded to motivated and forward-thinking organizations that are committed to engaging employees. Recognized as the international standard for people management, the accreditation defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results.

Just one in eight of the engineering workforce is female. This lack of diversity is to the detriment of the current engineering landscape – not only have studies shown that diverse teams are proven to be more effective, but by neglecting female STEM talent the UK will further impact its engineering skills shortage; a gap projected to widen in the coming years. Therefore, it is in the interest of all engineering companies to engage in this important industry issue and work harder to encourage women to join the profession.

Altran UK has a mission to become an employer of choice for female engineers, a commitment cemented by signing the WISE Industry Led Ten Steps pledge in July 2016. Having set up a dedicated working group to tackle the issues that matter to women in our business, we are making positive changes to our benefits packages, increasing transparency of opportunities internally and opening up a new dialogue with our employees to ensure that women can thrive in our workplace.
