Taking care of our people
When you join us you become a 'CGI Partner' – not just an employee – so we go the extra mile to look after you and your family.
In fact, we want you to feel part of the family, comfortable in bringing your whole self to work in a place where your
work life balance is respected. We will always work with you to ensure you can thrive in both environments,
and that’s not a benefit, it’s a promise.
Our specialist networks, health and wellbeing programme and competitive benefits focus on keeping
CGI Partners inspired, engaged and rewarded. Furthermore, you can have confidence that our financial
resilience, global presence, long-term stability and growth will always back your ambition.
Financial
When you join us, a competitive salary is just the start. From share options and profit participation to discount schemes and insurance packages, we offer all CGI Partners a wide range of benefits, which you can tailor to your specific needs.

Unconditionally inclusive
One of our additional social benefits focuses around enabling your experience at CGI to be as authentic as you are. Diversity is central to who we are and that’s why we have specialist networks which are here to make you feel at home from your first day and encourage you to tell us what kind of company you’d like us to be. Find out more about some of our networks which you will be welcome and encouraged to join from day one.
Team recognition and awards
One of our key leadership principles is for leaders to recognise the value of others and give credit for their team members’ accomplishments. We celebrate and reward the contributions of our colleagues through a variety of global programmes such as:
- Team recognition and awards
-
The builders award
Honouring CGI Partners whose behaviours and actions demonstrate leadership, and whose contributions, over time, have helped generate outstanding value for our stakeholders.
Seniority recognition programme
Celebrating milestone career anniversaries and thanking CGI Partners for their contributions.
APPLAUD peer-to-peer e-recognition platform
Using our internal intranet to highlight fellow CGI Partners who exemplify our values.
In addition, business units sponsor numerous programmes at a local level to recognise achievement and thank fellow colleagues for a job well done.
We also greatly value CGI Partner input and their satisfaction in the workplace. We believe that – through listening to our partners – we can build even stronger relationships, which is why we designed two annual programmes to do just that:
Member consultation
This annual consultation solicits suggestions from CGI Partners on how to better serve our clients and grow our business.
Member satisfaction programme
CGI Partners regularly meet one-to-one with their manager to discuss their satisfaction and how to improve it.
