With deep-rooted inequalities in many industries, it's important that companies support women in their careers through additional initiatives, campaigns and programmes.
Prime Employer and equality champion HCL has stepped up to provide these forms of support for its female employees. With multiple interactive sessions held across major HCL locations in India over the past month, HCL's Ascend Leadership program focused on empowering women at all levels in the workspace.
Understanding the importance of women leaders

HCL understands the value of women in leadership and the diversity of thought they can contribute to the company. This commitment comes from senior levels - Arthur Filip, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales Transformation and Marketing at HCL, reinforced the importance of women leaders in an engaging and important video.
Meanwhile, Women Lead Australia is a pioneering program powered by HCL Technologies which encourages aspiring women executives through strategic mentoring and networking with successful industry leaders.
And HCL's commitment to women's careers has truly been a success. Vice Chairperson, HCL Technologies and CEO and Executive Director of HCL Roshni Nadar Malhotra was named Indian Business Leader of the Year by Horasis.
