The Developing Future-Ready Leaders @ HCLTech framework combines various leadership development programs focusing on behavioral, functional, and competency-based training for women employees. This framework addresses the evolving needs of the business, equipping women to navigate changing technologies, leadership trends, and the unique challenges they face in their careers. It aims to build a robust pipeline of women leaders to enhance representation in senior leadership roles.
The program architecture aligns with the organization's strategic objectives and is divided into three key areas:
1. Functional: Designed to nurture leaders at all levels, this component includes curated programs like Stepping Stones and Prelude for skill development and career advancement.
2. Behavioural: The Ascend program focuses on networking with senior leaders and adapting to leadership trends.
3. Competency-Based: This approach helps identify and develop future leaders, exemplified by the Sales Pro Learning Journey.
HCLTech believes that true inclusion occurs when individuals feel valued for their unique and authentic selves, treated equally with respect, and safe in expressing their opinions. The company aims to ‘Supercharge Progress’ by combining advanced technology with its people to deliver industry-leading capabilities across major verticals. As a global organization, HCLTech understands that fostering inclusion requires daily actions beyond traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) training.
To promote inclusive behaviors, HCLTech developed a unique employee learning program based on neuroscience and habit formation: the ""Fostering Inclusion"" Unconscious Bias Awareness Program. This initiative targets the needs of Persons with Disabilities (PwD), LGBTQIA+ employees, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and generations.
The program emphasizes allyship and cultural intelligence, empowering employees with skills to support one another. HCLTech tracks the program’s effectiveness through the Globe Smart Profile (GPS), an awareness-building tool that enhances understanding of style differences in workplace interactions.
