A strong and continued focus on supporting women in technology

HCL continuously seeks to be at the forefront of encouraging diversity. As an International Women's Day Partner and a Prime Employer for Women, HCL knows that one way to achieve diversity and inclusion is to get more women to choose an education and career in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.

Additionally, as a progressive employer, HCL understands that the presence of women role models plays a key role. Especially for women starting their careers, having women in leadership positions as role models is key.

One of HCL's campaigns, #SheInspires, captures the life stories of women who have blazed a trail in STEM fields to help inspire the next generation of women leaders in STEM.
