At Publicis Sapient, our commitment to building a high-trust, high-performance culture is not confined to a single geography—it is a global imperative. With more than 20,000 people across over 50 offices worldwide, we recognize that excellence in workplace culture must be both universal in its values and locally resonant in its execution. Our approach is rooted in a deep respect for regional diversity, a passion for innovation, and a relentless focus on inclusion, collaboration, and employee well-being.
Trust is the cornerstone of our culture. Across all regions, we foster an environment where employees feel empowered, respected, and supported. This commitment has earned us recognition as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® in the US, but our ambition extends far beyond American borders. We strive to create workplaces where every individual, regardless of location, can thrive and contribute to our collective success.
Our SPEED capabilities—Strategy, Product, Experience, Engineering, and Data & AI—are not just how we deliver value to clients; they are also the framework through which we empower our people. By integrating these capabilities into our daily work, we ensure that innovation, agility, and continuous learning are embedded in our culture worldwide.
In North America, our culture is characterized by a strong emphasis on empowerment, flexibility, and support for working parents. We have been recognized among the best companies for working mothers, offering inclusive benefits such as paid parental leave for all parents, flexible work arrangements, and emergency childcare assistance. Our Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) provides professional development and mentorship, fostering gender diversity and leadership at every level.
Employee engagement is driven by transparent communication and regular pulse surveys, ensuring that leadership remains attuned to the needs and aspirations of our teams. During challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, our internal communications team played a pivotal role in keeping employees informed, connected, and engaged—efforts that were recognized with industry awards for excellence in internal communications and employee support.
