Findings of the Great Place to Work survey

Great place to work Sopra Steria’s survey of its entire workforce, conducted with the help of Great Place to Work (GPTW), was launched in 2019 and run again in 2021. It forms part of a global transformation approach in which the Group’s employees play a key role. Significant progress has been made: in particular, 72% of employees think Sopra Steria is a great place to work, 10 percentage points higher than in 2019. On the whole, all the entities improved their standing, since 20 out of 22 entities (1) were eligible for certification in 2021 (10 more than in 2019), which means that 88.9% of the Group's employees work for a company recognised as a Great Place to Work. Eight Group entities (2) are also in the running to earn a spot on a Best Workplaces list, distinguishing the best certified companies. The main strengths identified are our close relationship and communication with employees. The Group made progress despite the public health crisis and hybrid working arrangements, maintaining a friendly atmosphere and paying particular attention to the welcome and induction of new recruits, which often had to take place remotely. These two points once again stood out very clearly last year, along with the trust shown by management and respect for diversity, both already identified as genuine strengths in 2019. The Group ranks as one of the top performers in the GPTW ranking on the topic of diversity. The main areas for improvement relate to fair treatment with regard to pay and promotions, pride of belonging and the need for management to clearly express its expectations. The Group continues to pursue further improvements in 2022, focusing on consolidating its strengths and redoubling its efforts in identified areas for improvement. A new survey will be undertaken at the end of the year to give employees another chance to express their views and assess progress made. This reflects the Group’s commitment to ensuring that its employees are satisfied and offering a healthy and supportive working environment.
