“One major trend that would drive talent demand in the future — and should hence be driving talent development in the present is that IT has become “glocal” — it transcends geographic and demographic barriers to deliver this transformation.” - Vineet Nayar, Vice Chairman & CEO

HCL’s Inclusion & Diversity vision is to reinforce the Employee First philosophy by building an inclusive organization that fosters respect for individuals and celebrates the differences among all people. We value the experiences, knowledge and talents of all individuals in our company and communities we operate in. We support and promote non discriminatory practices for people to participate, contribute and develop equitably.

Our diversity approach focuses on enhancing workforce representation and sustaining an inclusive culture. While we work towards this mission, we constantly strive to connect with communities and help them leverage diversity.

Our work force representation includes people from different genders, cultures, ethnicities, work experiences, abilities etc. We focus on creating and sustaining a nurturing environment for employees with diverse backgrounds. Our Team leaders are equipped with skills to work across the globe in virtual teams. Affinity networks and Employee First Councils help us reach out to HCLites from diverse backgrounds. The networks ensure that diverse perspectives are included in all business operations. We also focus on creating support systems and policies that are based both on infrastructure and people, to facilitate work life continuity. Our programs include development conferences and social media for improving awareness for both HCL and the eco system in which we operate.

We are members of key global forums to promote inclusion and diversity. We harness the potential of employees and empower them as catalysts for social change. Our focused community interventions help employees reach out to rural areas, engage and enable people (specifically women and girl children), to lead a dignified life. The Campus Force team at HCL provides focused skill building interventions to nurture the less privileged students in India.
