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 career development frameworks., learning and development offerings, health and wellbeing program, and our focus on work-life balance, keep CGI Partners inspired, engaged, and healthy. Furthermore, you can have confidence that our financial resilience, global presence, long-term stability, and growth will always back your ambitions.

Promoting work-life balance

We strongly believe that work-life balance is crucial to our success and the success of our Partners. We promote a culture of flexibility, offering hybrid working and flexible hours wherever possible, and invest in activities and services that support our Partners in achieving this balance. 

 

Gender-neutral paid parental leave

We know how important paid time off is when nurturing a new family member. We offer 16 weeks of paid parental leave to primary caregivers, in addition to Government funded leave. Our policies are gender-neutral and also apply to families welcoming a new family member through adoption.  As a member of the corporate register for the Stillbirth Foundation, we also offer the same leave to families experiencing stillbirth.

Flexible holidays

We offer 20 days of annual leave, plus local public holidays. You also can buy or sell leave to suit your individual needs.

Social clubs

CGI encourages Partners to get together to build relationships through social clubs. These clubs receive financial support from CGI and include a wide range of social activities. Previous events in Australia have included bowling, bake-offs, go-karting, and pub trivia.

Supporting you to support others

Every Partner is given a volunteering day each year and can nominate local groups and community projects for CGI backing and wellbeing support.

 

CGI for Good

Our digital volunteering tool gives you access to local and global volunteering opportunities. 

STEM Camps

We run annual STEM camps to encourage the interest and appreciation of STEM for under-represented groups in our industry. In 2023 our STEM Camp targeted the female cohort and in 2024 our focus turns to Aboriginal & Torres Strait islander students.
