EPAM's Commitment to Fair Compensation-EPAM firmly upholds the principles of equal pay for equal work, recognizing the importance of fairness and transparency in compensation. Our compensation practices demonstrate our dedication to these values. Regular reviews of our salary structures ensure that employees, regardless of gender, are rewarded based on their skills, experience, and contributions. This approach fosters trust and inclusivity within our organization.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
    To maintain pay equity at EPAM, we link compensation to our assessment process, which functions similarly to promotions in other companies. Through this non-hierarchical and individual-driven assessment process, employees have the opportunity to grow professionally. Anyone can apply for an assessment at any point in the year. Our peer review committee, composed of internal experts, evaluates an employee's readiness to progress to the next level role. By basing compensation packages solely on expertise and skill, we eliminate gender-based wage disparities. This transparent approach creates an environment where every employee feels valued and recognized for their work.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Empowering Women in Technology at EPAM

EPAM has implemented various targeted programs and initiatives to attract, develop, and retain women in technology roles. We understand the significance of cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce. To achieve this, we provide mentorship programs, skill-building workshops, and networking opportunities specifically designed for women.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Our mentorship program connects experienced female leaders within the company with leading technologists from across the globe. This partnership enables mentees to receive guidance and support as they navigate their careers, overcome challenges, and achieve their professional goals. Through such programs, we empower women to thrive in the technology industry.                                

Balancing Work and Life at EPAM                                                                                                      

EPAM places a high priority on work-life balance and recognizes the importance of personal well-being. We offer flexible work arrangements tailored to the diverse needs of our employees. This includes options for remote work, flexible hours, and supportive policies for maternity, paternity, and bereavement leave.

For example, we provide comprehensive maternity and paternity leave benefits that ensure employees have ample time to care for their newborns and bond with their families. These benefits reflect our commitment to supporting employees during important life milestones.                              

Inclusive Hiring Practices for a Diverse Workforce                                                                              

EPAM India has implemented inclusive hiring practices to mitigate biases and foster a more diverse workforce. We recognize that traditional credentials do not solely determine skills and potential. Therefore, our hiring process emphasizes evaluating candidates based on their abilities, aptitude, and future potential.                                                                                                                              

While we conduct women-specific hiring drives to address diversity needs, we ensure that our interviewing and selection processes are fair and bias-free. Our interview platform includes a mandatory pop-up for each interviewer, reminding them to be aware of their conscious and unconscious biases, and make fair decisions. This approach ensures that we attract individuals from diverse backgrounds and provide equal opportunities for all, cultivating a rich and inclusive talent pool.                                                                                                                                                      

Women's EPAM Employee Group (EEG): Empowering Women's Development                                  

EPAM India has established employee resource groups focused on women's development. These groups serve as platforms for networking, skill-building, and knowledge sharing among our female employees. With over 40 volunteers leading mentoring and other engagement programs, these groups create a sense of community and support within EPAM.                                                          

The Women in Technology division of this EEG organizes regular events, workshops, and panel discussions where women can exchange insights, share experiences, and empower each other. These initiatives contribute to the professional growth and advancement of women within EPAM.      

Developing Inclusive Leaders                                                                                                                

EPAM India is dedicated to developing inclusive leaders who can drive positive change within our organization. We offer leadership development programs that address unconscious biases, promote diversity, and equip leaders with the skills to foster an inclusive work environment.                                                                                                                                                                                          Our inclusive leadership development program provides training on recognizing and addressing unconscious biases, promoting diversity in decision-making, and fostering an inclusive team culture. Through this program, our leaders gain the knowledge and skills necessary to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. In 2023 alone, we have conducted close to 10 such sessions for various levels of leadership.                                                                                 

In the last few years, due to this dedicated effort towards driving DEI culture, EPAM India is seeing a significant improvement in change in mindset of its people, the increased usage of a more inclusive and accepting language while dealing with colleagues, and even open representation of underrepresented communities in the organization.
