Our Impact on
Changing Lives

“Celebrating cultural diversity has cultivated acceptance, respect and broadmindedness. It has helped us feel united and has educated us, which has ultimately increased employee satisfaction, leading to better productivity at work. Having a diverse culture has also added to creativity and innovation. Multiple perspectives and personalities at our workplace have helped all of us bring different solutions to solve problems and ways to meet customer needs effectively.” – Monika Chandel, Practice Manager (Elixir India)

“We wanted to bring joy to the children who live in the poorest region of Turkey so our HR Manager did some research and found the right school to partner with. We then reached out to some of the children from the region, wrote down their wishes and hung them from our New Year’s tree. We bought the gifts that fit within our budget and placed them under the tree. As a mother, I remember there was one wish that really struck a chord with me – one of the children had asked for a toothbrush and toothpaste. It made me realise that as we go through life we sometimes don’t see the needs of the people around us. We need to teach our children the importance of caring for others. It’s how we will make the world a better place for everyone.” – İpek Yerli Çıtır, Division Manager (Wyser – Turkey).

“Due to the Covid outbreak, employee health and safety became a top priority for employers as they planned for the safe return of their colleagues to the workplace. The India alliance initiative helped many organisations understand and implement the Health and Safety guidelines via an easily downloadable handbook found on our website. The collaborative approach and common goals shared by the alliance members helped them prepare a detailed and industry-specific handbook for external stakeholder’s convenience, which included an additional section on maintaining emotional wellbeing at the workplace.” – Vasudha Johri, HR Manager Gi Group India

“Success is based on our personal initiative to be collaborative. We need to make an effort to understand each other and work together despite the complicated environment created by Covid-19. The key to success is simple, but we need to be consistent with our efforts. No matter how busy we are or how difficult the task is, the more we offer to help and collaborate, the closer we get to achieving our goals. This also helps us add value, makes us feel good, helps us grow personally as well as professionally as a team and creates a sense of belonging.” – Cristina De la Purificación (MSM Consultant, Grupo Norte – Spain)
“The integration process with Grupo Norte over the past few months has been quite an experience. It has led to significant growth for Gi Group in terms of clients and staff. The whole process has been a non-stop learning experience for us as constant communication and collaboration with different departments and new colleagues have been a key part of this. The last few months will certainly be well remembered for the shared moments and the passion everyone has shown for the work we do. I think this is what helps us achieve our goals and I’m sure the story does not end here.” – Mayte Micó (MSM Manager, Gi Group Spain)

“We delivered simulations for students that helped them recognise the importance of staying close to the business world. They realised how developing soft skills could make them more employable when looking for a job. We are very happy that we have made a positive impact on young people’s lives and helped them become more confident, competent and competitive. Also, these initiatives enable us contribute to the development of the labour market in general.” – Marina Delic, Tack & TMI Serbia

“Being invited as the first speaker from Wyser and sharing my experiences with hundreds of colleagues around the world was really special and enjoyable. As team spirit and continuous learning are our core values, I collaborated with our global team to introduce an “out-of-the-box” model that focused on innovation, solutions development and ways to become a true HR Partner. I would like to thank the global HR and Business team for the opportunity! Though 2020 was a tough year, I hope I created some hope.” – Fabio Nogueira, Business Director, Wyser Brazil

“It was a great experience and satisfying for both us and the candidates who were able to get individual support and orientation for interviews. We met different types of candidates – Italian and foreign, young and old – who thanked us and appeared satisfied. So, the outcome was very positive!” – Francesca Pasquali, Senior Specialist Search & Selection, Gi Group Italy
“Destination Work is an initiative that exists thanks to our people’s dedication to their work and passion for helping applicants outside of work hours. It gives us the opportunity to share our knowledge with the participants and learn from them as well. Dedicating time and attention to the people who need it most and strengthening their employability, recharges and motivates us to improve our work every day. The participants take home a wealth of tools and “tricks of the trade” that make them more aware of their strengths, help them find the right job and present themselves with confidence during the selection process.” – Sara Osti, CSR Manager, Gi Group

“I do not think any of us imagined celebrating this milestone by waving at each other over the internet. It has also come as a surprise to know that Google has been around as long as Gi Group. Even after 20 years, our beloved family at Gi Group continues to grow and the business offers us exciting opportunities that we are all passionate about.” – Weibing Liu, Country Manager – Gi Group China

“Working with schools in local communities puts you in a different environment and out of your comfort zone because you use different presentation and engagement techniques. I like to think the work we do with the students helps build their confidence and resilience, and prepares them to become tomorrow’s leaders.” Sally Hewick Operations Director and CSR Chair – Gi Group UK

“At the beginning of the pandemic, we immediately focused on our top priority: to keep our people and their families safe and ensure they had all the information they needed to face and manage the situation. In just a few days, we created global and local taskforces to redesign our processes and provide the tools and devices to help our people work safely from their home. As a result, our employees were able to quickly adapt to the situation and were still very much engaged and proud to be part of this organisation.” Maria Luisa Cammarata, Global HR Senior Director Gi Group

“We now deliver online training interactively which saves travel costs and time. The feedback on this new approach has been positive.” – Emma-Louise Taylor, Group Trainer, Gi Group UK

“The plastic free initiative received immediate positive feedback from colleagues working in our central office in Turin. They got actively involved in understanding and following the new guidelines and demonstrated a high level of commitment and engagement towards the initiative. They were also willing to foster the company’s sustainability culture by reducing waste without neglecting functionality.” – Filippo Politi, Facility Expert, Gi Group
