How Publicis Groupe is supporting parents and carers

In an industry where an increasing number of parents are considering leaving, Publicis Groupe is committed to creating a supportive workplace with the structure, culture and policies in place to ensure parents and carers can thrive.

Alysha Maybury, Activation Director at Spark Foundry Australia, Davy Rennie, CEO of Digitas Australia, and Jessica Farrell, GM of People & Culture at Publicis Groupe ANZ, sat down with Natasha Lee, Journalist at Mediaweek to talk about the launch of our new employee action group, Carers Collective, and how Publicis is building a culture of trust, visibility, and belonging.

“You shouldn’t have to be two different versions of yourself. You are free to show up at work as you are.” -Alysha Maybury, Carers Collective Lead.

“You’ve got your personal aspirations, career aspirations, and then there are your aspirations as a parent. It’s a tricky balance, and it’s something we’re very much focused on.” -Davy Rennie, Carers Collective Executive Sponsor.

“Legacy starts by putting the right policies in place, having the right leaders around the table, and holding everyone, ourselves included, accountable for creating inclusive environments.” -Jessica Farrell.
