Equal opportunity
CGI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We commit to:
• Continuing to measure and reduce our Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gaps
• Publishing our Voluntary Reporting Framework on disability, mental health and wellbeing
• Inclusive and accessible recruitment practices
• Investing in training and progression.
CGI UK is closing its gender and ethnicity pay gaps year-on-year. Our mean gender pay gap is 6.8%, compared to 8% in 2021, surpassing the technology industry’s gender pay gap of 16%. Our mean ethnicity pay gap is 6.9%.
CGI is a Disability Confident Employer. Through recruitment, onboarding and development, we create an environment that enables members with disabilities to flourish. With a strong disability network, accessibility support and leadership commitment, we are determined that the projects we work on benefit from all talents and insights.
We will continue our partnership with Breakthrough, a social enterprise equipping prison leavers with skills to succeed in a long-term career within the technology industry. CGI supports this by hosting skills days at our offices covering mock interviews, presentation skills and public speaking.
Our inclusive and accessible recruitment practices encompass advertising vacancies within specialist communities, providing equal opportunities for underrepresented groups, and accommodating adjustments including additional assessment time and physical adjustments. We will promote our vacancies with communities including myGWork, a networking hub for LGBTQ+ professionals, and Evenbreak, a disability job board.
CGI invests in annual training that aligns with existing and emerging technologies. Our comprehensive learning and development platform provides members with learning pathways leading to certified qualifications. We will encourage rotations and secondments across industry sectors to upskill our members.
We continually review and audit our recruitment and supply chain practices to ensure our Modern Slavery commitment is delivered in practice. We will continue to instruct all CGI UK members to follow our Modern Slavery Policy.Wellbeing
Health and wellbeing are critical to the success of our members and organisation. Therefore, we are committed to fostering a health-focused environment where all members can thrive personally and professionally. However, wellbeing is not an issue exclusively concerning our business; we are equally committed to supporting the wellbeing of the communities in which we operate. We achieve this by:
• Continually investing in programmes for our workforce, including ‘Oxygen’, our wellbeing centre of expertise, our 24/7/365 Member Assistance Programme, physical wellbeing activities and Workplace Adjustments.
• Extending health and wellbeing initiatives with our clients and suppliers.
• Promoting social wellbeing for local communities to support physical and mental health.
CGI is a signatory of 'The Mental Health at Work Commitment'. We will continue to invest in training to expand upon the 300 plus UK members who are certified Mental Health First Aiders. These members have developed a strong support network for their colleagues.
We will continue to invite our clients suppliers and communities to participate in initiatives that encourage the improvement of health and wellbeing. Examples include physical movement challenges and delivering knowledge-sharing events on health and wellbeing topics such as menopause and mental health in young professionals.
CGI funds a minimum of one volunteering day per annum for each member to support local initiatives or charities, making a significant difference to the communities in which we live and work.
We collaborate with our clients and suppliers to identify opportunities to support the wellbeing of local communities. An example of this is our kit sponsorship for local community groups and sports clubs. With a track record of aiding over a thousand different groups, our programme promotes connection, physical activity, teamwork, and community cohesion. This not only benefits individuals directly involved but also contributes to the broader community’s health and wellbeing.
