HCL Technologies' Straight Talk magazine, which showcases experience-based insights of CIOs, CTOs and other senior technology executives, has published a special edition issue focused on women in technology.
In the issue, senior women technology leaders share stories of learning and leadership, with career advice, leadership lessons and business insights from executives at P&G, the United Nations, InterContinental Hotels Group, Olin Chemicals, Philips and other leading organizations.
Insights from leading HCL women
The magazine also features women who work at HCL: an interview with Board Member Robin Abrams and a welcome page penned by Roshni Nadar Malhotra, Executive Director & CEO, HCL Corporation Vice Chairperson.
Roshni explains that studies suggest women are underrepresented in STEM fields and HCL is working hard to close the gender gap.
“Studies show that organizations with a strong gender diversity focus perform better as compared to their peers. Not only are these organizations better equipped to handle change, but, in most instances, they are the leaders in the shift towards a truly sustainable and equitable model that can help us achieve a Planet 50-50 by 2030," writes Roshni.
“At HCL, we are aware of and taking part in this paradigm shift. With a presence in 44 nations and a 130,000-strong global workforce, we have identified gender diversity and the promotion of gender equality as one of the key tenets of our 2030 roadmap. We feel and believe that innovations that disrupt ‘business as usual’ are central to removing structural barriers and ensuring that no woman is left behind due to the challenges of a work-life balance.”
