Capgemini Proposes Up to 2,400 Job Reductions in France Through Voluntary Measures

The project now enters formal consultations to determine terms with employee representatives.

Overview

  • The proposal targets roles in areas affected by shifting client demand and technological change, equal to about 7% of Capgemini’s 35,000 jobs in France.
  • Planned measures rely on volunteering and include internal retraining toward future-focused roles, reclassification, and a collective voluntary severance scheme.
  • Management links the move to softer activity in France and Europe alongside rapid technological shifts, notably artificial intelligence.
  • The plan will be submitted to staff representative bodies for negotiation, with scope and support measures to be set by collective agreement.
  • Capgemini reported 2.9% revenue growth in the third quarter and has about 355,000 employees globally, as industry peers such as Accenture recalibrate workforces for AI-related demand.
