Belonging is more than a feeling at CGI—it is a powerful cultural unifier that shapes how our CGI Partners work, collaborate and deliver value around the world.

We believe that when people feel connected to their teams, trusted by their leaders and recognized for who they are, they unlock their full potential. This sense of belonging directly fuels both personal fulfillment and collective performance, key attributes that define CGI as a global business and connected community.

Respect as a daily practice

Respect, one of our six core values, lays the foundation for a culture where every person knows they matter. Across our global operations, we cultivate workplace environments that embrace differences, acknowledge contributions and ensure each CGI Partner can participate fully.

From Germany’s mentoring programs for women like EmpowerHER or the WingWoMen network, to France’s Cancer@Work charter signature and Canada’s focus on impactful partnerships like with Pride at Work or the Women Business Enterprises Canada Council (WBE Canada),  our local initiatives reflect a shared belief: belonging grows where respect is practiced every day.

Fair and meaningful inclusion

The feeling of belonging does not happen by chance; it must be nurtured intentionally. We invest in programs and policies that ensure all CGI Partners have a fair and meaningful place within the organization.

These initiatives include:

  • Efforts that nurture a respectful, empowering and collaborative environment
  • Accessible workplaces designed so every CGI Partner can participate fully
  • Support networks and community initiatives, such as Pride events and well-being programs

These shared commitments help remove barriers, giving each CGI Partner the confidence to express their ideas, ask questions and take ownership.

Ownership in shared purpose and ambition

When people feel they belong, they contribute with purpose.

Our culture of ownership is why we refer to our consultants and professionals as CGI Partners. Everyone who joins CGI embodies partnership behaviors in their day-to-day work—including engaging with clients and colleagues to turn meaningful insights into actions.

Belonging drives performance: teams collaborate with higher trust and less friction, leading individuals to engage more deeply and with greater motivation. Innovation emerges more naturally, as people feel supported in exploring bold ideas. Success is celebrated collectively, reinforcing a culture of mutual support.

Local strengths, global community

While the way CGI Partners experience belonging may be inherently local, the shared feeling across our global organization is: “I have a place here.”

Unity is one of CGI’s greatest strengths. CGI Partners know that, regardless of their location or role, they are part of a connected global community that values them, listens to them and empowers them to succeed.

Belonging is our strategic, long-term advantage

At CGI, belonging is not only part of who we are—it is a strategic advantage. By cultivating an environment where CGI Partners feel anchored, valued and supported, we build teams that perform better, innovate faster and commit for the long term.
