Embracing and encompassing identities

Everyone has a unique identity that influences how they work most productively. No matter how different we are, all of us need an environment that is safe, positive, and nurturing. HCL’s diversity & inclusion strategy was crafted keeping in view that every employee feels included and valued. By fostering a climate free of bias, where equity and mutual respect are intrinsic, HCL is a result-oriented and caring organization that draws intellectual strength and produces innovative solutions from the synergy of its people.

Having built and scaled a multinational enterprise over nearly four decades, HCL Technologies believes that diversity in the workplace is an asset for both businesses and employees, in its capacity to foster innovation, creativity, and empathy in ways that homogeneous environments seldom do. Its strength lies in its global workforce, with over 159,000 Ideapreneurs belonging to over 157 nationalities, all working together to build a culture that respects inclusion.

The company is focused on inclusion to maximize talent attraction, growth, and retention, with its talent strategy focused on the four pillars of diversity and inclusion. These include: Gender Inclusion, Cultural Inclusion, Disability Inclusion, and LGBTQIA+ Inclusion.
