In line with its commitment to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, power management company Eaton India has stepped up its hiring of women engineers across areas.
The company has also planned to continue expanding its presence across campuses and incorporating new colleges with respect to niche skills hiring.
There is an increasing number of women that are opting for STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers, which is reflected in the talent available within the industry for these roles.
While still, the gap in the number of women engineers exists in the industry, it is encouraging women so that their presence is felt in the industry. Eaton too has seen a diverse pool of deserving candidates during university recruitments.
While speaking about the total campus recruitments, the company said that Eaton has hired more than 54% female engineers in the year 2021. This has been a year-over-year increase of over 19% in 2020. Women engineers were employed across diverse areas like data analytics, computer science, information technology, mechanical, electrical, electrical and communications, automation, power electronics, and aerospace engineering.
Ashish Kapoor, director, Human Resources, India said, “We aim to make Eaton a great place to work where the uniqueness of each individual is valued. “
“In lines with our goal to become a model of inclusion and diversity in our industry, we remain committed to ensuring that Eaton continues to be an equal opportunity employer. Eaton’s success is dependent on our ability to identify, attract and groom diverse people with the brightest minds.” He added.
