Recognition reaffirms Genpact's ongoing
commitment to global workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion
NEW
DELHI, Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact
(NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on
delivering outcomes that transform businesses, today announced that
it has been included in Avtar and Seramount's 100 Best Companies
for Women in India (BCWI) list,
and is also recognized as an Exemplar of Inclusion in the Most
Inclusive Companies Index (MICI) for the second consecutive
year.
Avtar and Seramount evaluated over 350 companies, spanning every
major industry, geographical location, and line of business, on
their talent practices, programs, and policies to ensure gender
inclusion and advancement of diverse employees.
"At Genpact, we know that diverse teams outperform homogenous
ones. We amplify our potential and support innovation when we bring
people with differences in thought, skills, experiences, and
backgrounds together around a common goal," said Heather White, Chief Legal Officer, Corporate
Secretary and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Genpact. "We are honored to be
recognized by Avtar and Seramount and are committed to building an
inclusive workplace and a diverse global workforce."
Over the years, Genpact has made steady progress toward its goal
of becoming a gender-balanced organization across all levels. Women
now represent 42% of the company's global workforce, 50% of board
of directors, and 47% of Genpact's leadership council.
"Gender diversity among the 100 Best Companies continues to
increase. The average representation of women (overall) is an
inspiring 36.9% this year in 2023 up from 25% in 2016, at the time
of the launch of the study. At the Top 10 companies, average
women's representation reported in 2023, is at 41.7%. At this
current rate, a 50:50 gender balance at Best Companies will be a
reality by 2030 – a much sooner time frame given the post-pandemic
repercussions", said Dr Saundarya Rajesh, Founder-President,
Avtar Group. "While we celebrate
the progress made, we must also be vigilant of the challenges that
still persist. Inclusion is an ongoing commitment; constantly
innovating, focusing on growth aspirations of diversity talent, and
curating a culture of care-hood must be part of leadership
priorities, always! Measuring and monitoring success metrices
associated with these initiatives, non-negotiable."
Genpact's inclusion in these lists reflects the company's
deep-rooted commitment to providing equal opportunity for all,
irrespective of gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, race,
disability, or sexual orientation, which is evidenced through its
broad range of programs and initiatives designed to attract,
retain, and support talent at every stage of their career.
"Corporations on the Most Inclusive Companies in India list remain committed to creating
inclusive workplace cultures for their employees," said
Subha V. Barry, President,
Seramount. "We are proud to recognize their progress in
measuring the effectiveness of their DEI programs, while taking the
steps necessary to identify opportunities for growth and
improvement."
This is Genpact's latest diversity recognition, added to its
growing list of industry and workplace awards, including –
- Forbes Best Employers for Diversity List 2023
- Bloomberg's 2023 Gender Equality Index
