Tech Mahindra has been putting in place new initiatives as a part of its HR transformation journey – ‘TechMPoweringMe’. These initiatives are focused around employee well-being and towards enabling people as key differentiators for the business.
In line with its HR transformation initiatives – Tech Mahindra has put in place policies towards enabling better diversity and inclusion at workplace. One of their key initiative towards ensuring an inclusive workplace allows same-sex couples 12 weeks of paid adoption leave. Their parenting policies support parents irrespective of their gender and allows new parents to spend more time with their newborns in their first year of parenthood.
The company has also put in place policies to provide for flexibility at work, work from home policies for new parents, and support groups for returning mothers, cancer patients and survivors.
As per a new inclusion in the policies, the same-sex partners will also be allowed a three-day bereavement leave. Another key inclusion in its policies is the provision for employees who intend to change their gender with sexual reassignment surgery.
In his media statement, Harshvendra Soin, Chief People Officer, Tech Mahindra, said – “As a company with a purpose, Tech Mahindra is excited to embark on this transformational journey of empowering our associates by keeping their needs foremost. Today, the employees demand a user and customer like experience, as well as a great human experience. At Tech Mahindra, we live by the formula of HX = f (UX, CX, EX,… ) that is, Human Experience is a function of {User Experience, Customer Experience, Employee Experience}. Whether we are delivering value to our customers or empowering our associates to RiseTM, Human Experience (HX) underscores every step of our interaction journey”.
At Tech Mahindra, LGBT committees called Kaleidoscope have been formed across geographies. These groups share stories of community members to create cultural assimilation and to sensitize people.
