Our benefits

Distinctive programs and benefits

CGI pays particular attention to the compensation, benefits and working conditions we offer. All of these are reviewed regularly based on our professionals’ interests and needs and competitive market conditions.

The following represents our key company-wide programs.

Ownership programs

From our founding, CGI has operated based on the strong belief that our success comes from the strength and commitment of our shareholder members. When you join us, you have the opportunity to become an owner of your company. As owners, we all participate in and benefit from the value we help create. Our unique ownership programs put into practice our philosophy of intrapreneurship—our term for the ownership culture within CGI. Our ownership programs include:

• Share purchase plan: CGI will match your contribution dollar for dollar, up to the determined maximum. In addition, an additional amount corresponding to a set percentage of your salary can be invested in CGI shares.

• Profit participation plan: You'll participate in the rewards that come from CGI's growth; this plan distributes a portion of our profits based on the achievement of CGI’s financial objectives and taking into consideration individual performance.

Compensation and benefits

CGI offers a competitive compensation that recognizes your experience and competencies. In addition, our benefit programs, including health and savings plans, provide you with financial security and peace of mind.

Work/life balance

We foster an overall quality of life for all who join us. We promote this commitment through the following:

• Health and wellness initiatives and resources: To nurture a quality of life, you’ll benefit from free access to an employee assistance program that includes resources to assist you with any aspect of your life, whether emotional, financial, parental or legal. CGI also has initiatives that encourage healthy life habits, such as our annual Walk Around the World event. CGI invites you to be engaged in improving your health. Additional initiatives and resources are also available within CGI’s various regional offices.

• Leave programs: CGI encourages our professionals to enjoy the time allowed for annual vacation and holidays in order to pursue their personal interests. Understanding that some life situations may require time away from work, CGI also offers a special leave program.

• Social clubs: To strengthen relationships between our professionals, CGI provides financial support and takes part in the organization of social activities, including some activities for family.

• Extracurricular activities: From serving the communities in which we live and work to participating in activities that build CGI’s brand, we provide ample opportunities that support and nurture your interests.
