Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Every voice matters
Defying Bias with Empathy
We know that bias can be hard to see, so we designed an immersive intervention to help our Publicis Sapient community understand what it feels like, rather than simply learn about it.
Explore the lasting effects of Make Some Room, our eye-opening unconscious bias learning experience.

Publicis Connects
Publicis Connects is where recruiters, HR professionals and resource managers come together to share best practices and processes all to make Publicis Groupe stronger and more competitive.
