The employment narrative in Mexico presents a transformation centered on the well-being and development of young talent. A study conducted by Indeed revealed that 60% of workers prioritize professional growth when changing jobs, while 52% value a positive environment as a determining criterion. These results show that salary has ceased to be the only decisive factor in choosing a job.
In response to this trend, Capgemini presented an institutional reflection on how to build workspaces with a purpose, emotional health and continuous learning. The model implemented at its Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Mexico stands out for its integration of young talent through hybrid schemes, partnerships with universities and leadership training, digital skills, project management and English language projects.
“The new generations seek more than a place to work in: they want a place in which they can learn, be heard and have a real impact”, said Adriana Torres Nava, vice-president and leader of the GDC in Mexico. This approach responds to a situation in which 90% of collaborators in Mexico consider that work-related stress is a valid reason for changing jobs, according to data from OCC Mundial. Among the main factors that point toward work-life imbalance are long working hours and inadequate leadership.
To counteract this situation, Capgemini implements emotional health programs, internal mobility routes and an inclusive organizational culture. Additionally, it has academic collaborations in Aguascalientes and Jalisco to strengthen the talent ecosystem focused on digital economy.
The study conducted by indeed also analyzed the learning curve, a model that explains the evolution of performance in the initial stages of a new job. Nelson Gómez, director of Indeed in Mexico, said: “Assuming a new challenge involves a certain degree of difficulty, but is also a great opportunity for growth.”
Capgemini’s GDC is part of a global network that includes centers in India, Poland, Morocco and Egypt. This structure seeks to connect Mexican talent with international projects, particularly in face of the growth of nearshoring, which could generate over 1.1 million new jobs in three years, according to estimates by D&M Abogados.
“The Future of Work is already here, and we firmly believe that it must be humane, flexible, and have a purpose”, Torres Nava concluded.
