A large ICT consulting company implementing a global programme to support neurodiverse employees

Capgemini's NeuroInclusion program creates ICT jobs for individuals with disabilities. By 2024, 5,000 employees across 6 countries received training for an inclusive workplace.

Capgemini SE, a Paris-based multinational ICT services and consulting firm, launched its NeuroInclusion Programme in 2022 to create an inclusive workplace for individuals with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities. A diverse taskforce from 11 countries and insights from companies such as Google and EY helped with its implementation. By 2024 the programme expanded to six countries, with over 5,000 employees receiving awareness training.

Problems Targeted

People with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities often encounter obstacles to employment and career growth.

Solution, Innovation and Impact

Capgemini’s NeuroInclusion Programme fosters a global culture valuing neurodiverse employees with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities. Through awareness campaigns, employee trainings (in collaboration with local NGOs), and workplace adaptations, the programme promotes acceptance of neurodiversity and prepares teams for effective collaboration. Voluntary trainings include awareness modules, strategies for inclusion, and recruitment adaptations, with specialized sessions for HR and talent acquisition. Practical adjustments, such as modified interviews to ease anxiety for neurodivergent candidates, are integrated to enhance inclusivity. Capgemini also collaborates with companies such as Société Générale for shared strategies. Between 2022 and 2024, the programme expanded globally with regional customization, including sensory rooms in Belgium, sessions for mothers of neurodiverse children in Poland, and Brazil’s self-identification policy. A learning initiative in India engaged 1,900 participants per session. By 2024, Capgemini employed 4,015 people with disabilities globally, marking a nearly 50 per cent increase since 2020 and showcasing the programme’s significant impact.

Funding, Outlook and Transferability

Capgemini funds the programme internally, with occasional support from external partners. Other organizations can replicate the methodologies and practices of the NeuroInclusion Programme. (Zero Project Awardee 2025)
