Does Publicis Sapient have an entrepreneurial work culture?

In various Publicis Sapient reviews, you would have heard of the exemplary work culture in the organization. Have you wondered, what it exactly means? I was confused about it and thought of ways to narrate it. Then I came across the term: Entrepreneurial Work Culture.  

I wondered how IT MNCs can have this work culture and if it even matters. Turns out, it matters a lot.

What is entrepreneurial work culture?

In an early-stage startup, with 10-20 employees, each one can be an entrepreneur as they are setting up processes and exploring new opportunities to grow on a limited budget. The same is true for IT MNCs as well. I have seen HCL, TCS and Publicis Sapient promoting entrepreneurial work culture in their organization. However, it is hard to recognize it subjectively. If your organization provides the following benefits, you have experienced its exemplary work culture already:

1. No micromanagement for small tasks: Allowing employees to identify opportunities, take calculated risks, and make decisions. A strong sense of ownership and empowerment is a mood booster for people. For example, a code upgrade needs to be done and can be done in 2-3 ways. You have the liberty to choose the code design and logic. What matters is: that the code should be robust, scalable and pass the quality tests.
   
   
2. Encouraging personal branding: It may be through participating in internal hackathons or applying in external communities. Being a LinkedIn Influencer or a professional blogger on the company’s official website. These growth opportunities are confidence boosters and catalysts in the future path.
   
   
3. Encouraging employee education: Many IT MNCs provide free courses and certifications to their employees. However, providing a platform alone is not fulfilling as people may not use them. Hence, Publicis Sapient encourages employees to pursue courses by having a centralized learning dashboard.
   
   
4. Open work culture: Where every voice matters and all ideas are taken into account by the leadership team. In Publicis Sapient, I recently attended a 3-day offsite where the 2023 strategy was discussed for our vertical. It was inspiring to listen to our leaders as they empower and encourage our ideas for consideration.

Based on the above, I will state that yes, Publicis Sapient does have an entrepreneurial work culture. People in the tech and non-tech domains are open to learning, growing and innovating at their own pace. You can approach leaders anytime. You can do free courses from Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft, AWS and O’Reilly.
