“TCS is today the preferred growth and transformation partner to leading corporations across the world because of the incredible energy of our people, their creativity and their ability to come together from different parts of the organization to seamlessly form world class teams, and leverage their collective technology expertise and contextual knowledge to reimagine our customers’ businesses,” said Milind Lakkad, Global Head – Human Resources, TCS. “This recognition from the Top Employers Institute is a testament to the culture of life-long learning and collaboration that we have engendered, our investments in people, and our progressive policies, all of which have resulted in a vibrant, empowering workplace.”

TCS’ differentiated approach to navigating technology change, investing heavily in organic talent development at scale – over 330,000 employees trained on digital technologies till date – layering technology skills on top of existing contextual knowledge, has resulted in a deeply integrated set of technology solutioning capabilities across the organization. Further, the focus on diversity and inclusion have resulted in a vibrant workplace culture. TCS is one of the one of the world’s largest employers of women with over 161,000 women employees who make up 36.2% of the global workforce.

“The dedication that our globally certified organizations have when it comes creating a better world of work for their employees is inspiring,” said David Plink, CEO, Top Employers Institute.“These organizations have implemented their people practices on a global scale because they truly believe that their employees sit at the heart of what they do.
