13. We share and seek ideas, and dialogue openly to
deepen understanding and connection with others.
Between Here and There, Now and Next, there comes a space.
It’s where we find the ideas to change lives, movements that influence futures,
and provocative ambitions that redefine everything.
In the space, we bravely thrive...with agility to disrupt our paradigms, with diverse
perspectives that broaden understanding of the world — and of ourselves, with evolution,
because that’s where progress is hiding.
For this is how we influence what happens next: by combining a challenging spirit with
digital ingenuity and a certain sapience.
In the Brave Pursuit of Next, we transform the norms, the conventions, the orthodoxies,
rhythms and outcomes. And ourselves.
Because we know that between definition and destination there comes a space.
And how you seize that space makes all the difference.
Carpe spatium.

“united in ethos,”
this is what
we mean…

25. Passion is Paramount
We’re here because we love what we do.
We wake up every morning excited to be a

If we didn’t, we definitely wouldn’t be a
company of 20,000 people.

26. We Believe in Bringing Our Whole
Selves to Work

colors to succeed here - on the contrary, we
want them to shine. We all bring our quirks,
traits and individuality to work here, bells and
whistles included.

We want to lead the hard conversations, say
what needs to be said and do what needs to
be done, even if it’s the uncomfortable thing to
do. All in service of the brave pursuit of Next.

Let’s always champion inclusivity.
We value the collective mind. The brainstorm.
The unique perspective that everyone has
to offer. We believe that everyone brings
something special to the table.

29. Ideas Can Come from Anywhere
Remember when you were a kid and your
creativity ran wild? Wouldn’t it be great if
you could tap into that fountain of imagination?
Well, here you can in the way that’s yours and
yours alone. Own your ideas. They matter.

ourselves. And we champion bringing our whole selves to work, because
none of us are impactful as all of us.

32. We talk a lot – a lot – about the brave pursuit of Next.
Next never comes easy. We celebrate people who fall in love with the
problem and courageously addresses it with a relentlessness that baffles
the status quo.

33. We want what we do to matter, to mean something.
For nearly 30 years we’ve been pioneering the digital world, and shaping
it on behalf of our clients. Through it all, one thing has remained constant:
our people are the secret to our success.

65. My journey with Publicis Sapient
commenced in 2007 in London as a
Learning & Development lead.
12 years later, I’m proud of my
professional journey and the
opportunity to work in an authentic
and culturally diverse organisation.
I started as the Learning & Development lead for the UK, Europe and then as the Global
Talent and Learning Lead. I had my three children over this time and then took up the
opportunity to relocate the family from London to Sydney as the People Strategy Lead of
the APAC region. At the start of this year I became Managing Director for Asia Pacific.
When I reflect back on our achievements as an organisation the things that make me most
proud are our commitment to inclusion and diversity. We have made tremendous progress
in our performance on gender pay parity, increasing female leadership representation and
addressing Unconscious Bias to create a culture of dignity and respect.
Over the last few years we have dramatically increased the level of flexibility our teams
have to work varied hours or remotely and the team consistently see this as evidence of a
high degree of trust and autonomy. Our people have the ability to manage their work
balancing personal and family commitments and feeling empowered to deliver impactful
solutions to our clients without compromising their health, their wellbeing or their
individual pursuits. This year we formalised our support to new parents with a gender
neutral 14 week Paid Parental scheme to help our people welcome and make the
transition that each new family member presents.
Emma Scales | Managing Director, APAC

66. I’m Brazilian, and this was my first
international professional role so I
was a little nervous.
On my arrival I found my desk
covered in glitter and balloons with
smiling people to welcome me. I felt
comfortable right away.
I joined Publicis Sapient in February 2018 as a part time contractor.
What struck me in the first few weeks was how open everyone was. I quickly saw that this
is a diverse, multicultural organisation, with peers from across the world and a flat
structure with open management style.
I was converted from part time contractor to permanent in August 2018. I enjoy flexibility
in my daily activities and balance of work and home life. In September 2018 my partner
and I had our first child. A lot of things to think about, but I have never worried about how
to juggle it all - my manager is flexible and happy to let me manage my time to attend to
Luca.
I have also benefited from our paid parental leave scheme. Luca is 8 weeks old now, and
I will soon be on primary parental leave for 14 weeks to look after him as my partner
goes back to work.
