THE POWER OF CULTURE
When Capgemini acquired Altran Technologies, Hubert Giraud,
Member of the Capgemini Group Executive Committee and
President of Altran Technologies, led the integration of Altran
Technologies' 50,000 employees into the Group.
"I would say that what matters most — more than the trillion
activities, process harmonization and systems — are people,
feelings and culture," says Giraud.
Leaders must seize the initiative and explore innovation.
Salesforce, for example, has launched the Trailblazer Ranch,
a new gathering place where employees can forge trusted
relationships, learn from and inspire one another, get trained
and grow in their careers and give back to the community.
Change Anchored In Values
The pandemic has focused minds on what matters. In the U.S., 71% of workers want
to prioritize time with family. Employee well-being will become even more important as
companies wrestle with new models of work.
In research conducted by ManpowerGroup on what makes workers thrive, when employees
were asked how their workplace reinforced the importance of mental health, the top answer
(38%) was: "I didn't use any mental health resources/I was unaware." Just 13% said they
had access to as much mental health support as was needed.
"Well-being, mental health and authenticity are key priorities for all successful
organizations today," says Accenture's Raffaella Temporiti. "Leaders need to be more
empathetic, compassionate, inclusive and great at creating and maintaining networks,
so the organizational culture spans and thrives across the digital and physical working
environment. They are aware that people need to feel seen and safe to be connected at their
best, contribute and innovate continuously."
