Since its creation, Marcel has offered Gigs and Jobs. Gigs are requests made by a team in need of temporary upskilling on a specific subject. They enable people to take advantage of internal skills, thereby helping to move a project forward.
The procedure for responding is simple and well-structured. For Jobs, Marcel publishes advertisements in advance of any external recruitment process in order to promote the internal development of employees.
The Health, Safety & Security Policy, included in Janus, the Groupe’s Code of Ethics, provides for the obligation to protect employees in order to maintain and guarantee a safe and secure working environment for all employees. Agencies apply current local regulations on personal security in the workplace and are responsible for implementing their health support and action plans. They must ensure risk prevention, regularly inform employees and offer them appropriate solutions. 100% of employees in Groupe agencies are covered by these health, hygiene and safety support plans.
More than half of all workplace accidents reported by employees in 2025 were commuting accidents.
In terms of actions, in the United States, federal law (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) may be supplemented by laws in each state, and possibly reinforced at the municipal level. In Europe, this mission is entrusted to dedicated local committees (Health and Safety Committees) and the CSE (Social and Economic Committee) in France. Elected or volunteer employees receive training on safety and first aid. Evacuation drills (fire, earthquake, etc.) are regularly conducted on the premises, with support from general services safety teams (Re:Sources) and building managers. In all agencies, safety officers (fire or emergency evacuations) are also trained each year; volunteers are trained in first aid. In India, Occupational Health and Safety regulations apply, and, as in many countries, small teams of employees are trained every year in all buildings and on all floors to assist others in the event of an emergency or evacuation. Given their large size, Publicis Sapient entities in India are ISO 45001-certified, thus covering 48% of the workforce of the Groupe in this country.
In some cities, as is the case in India and China, devices monitor air pollution and inform employees so that measures can be taken for those who may be the most vulnerable in terms of health, and so that teleworking can be facilitated during peak pollution periods. [S1-1-23]
In many agencies, offices are protected by external security teams who check people entering and leaving.
LionAlert is the internal tool designed to be able to contact employees in the event of an extreme emergency and ensure that they are safe; LionAlert is activated locally according to events (earthquake, cyclone, flood, major fire, but also acts of terrorism, etc.). LionAlert is overseen by the Groupe’s Secretary General. In 2025, it was activated 21 times.
