What Makes Cielo a Most Loved Workplace®?
Cielo is the world's leading Talent Acquisition Partner — and its own people are proof that it walks the talk. In 2025, Cielo earned the Certified Most Loved Workplaces® badge, a recognition verified by rigorous research into how employees truly feel about where they work. With a perfect score of 85 across all five SPARK pillars, Cielo stands out as a rare example of a company where culture and performance reinforce each other.
What Is the SPARK Model at Cielo?
The SPARK model measures five core pillars of workplace love: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Outcomes. Each pillar reflects a different dimension of what makes people proud to come to work. Cielo scored 85 on every single one — a consistent result that signals genuine cultural health, not just a surface-level PR effort.
Systemic Collaboration: Everyone Has a Role in the Big Picture
Cielo's Global Talent Development team launched the Learning Map Experience — a strategy activation program delivered virtually through 3-hour interactive sessions. These sessions use gamification, group activities, and lively discussion to connect every employee to Cielo's long-term vision. When people understand how their daily work drives the organization forward, collaboration becomes natural — not forced.
Positive Vision for the Future: Celebrating the PEOPLE Who Live the Values
Cielo's PEOPLE values — Partnering, Empowering, Original, Purposeful, Learning, and Energizing — are not just words on a wall. The Star PEOPLE Awards, held during Sector calls and the Global All Hands event, spotlight individuals who go above and beyond. This consistent recognition builds a culture where doing the right thing is noticed and celebrated.
Alignment of Values: Leadership That Listens
When CEO Marissa Geist stepped into her role, she didn't send an email. She held in-person Listening Sessions in every global region — casual conversations designed to hear directly from employees about what could be better. That feedback was then folded directly into the company's strategic planning. That's what values alignment looks like in practice: leadership that acts on what it hears.
Respect: Two-Way Communication at Every Level
Cielo recently relaunched its Coffee Chats series — informal spaces where leaders listen to employees' thoughts, challenges, and ideas. Combined with regular Global All Hands calls and ongoing pulse surveys, these touchpoints ensure that respect flows in both directions. No one is left out of the conversation, regardless of geography or role.
Killer Outcomes: Your Development, Your Career
Cielo doesn't just talk about growth — it builds it into the system. Every employee has quarterly goal reviews and a personal Individual Development Plan (IDP) that translates learning into real skills and behaviors. Pulse survey results directly shape the company's Learning & Development plans, so the training employees receive is always relevant and driven by real feedback.
