In line with the recent Nasscom-AON study on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I), Reliance and TCS have taken significant strides to enrich their workforce with more Persons with Disabilities (PwD) employees.
It reflects the growing importance of DE&I initiatives in the corporate world.
Hiring PwD: Commitment to DE&I
The Nasscom-AON study highlights that DE&I practices have evolved from being “nice-to-have” initiatives to becoming critical components.
These practices are now essential for organizations to attract and retain talent.
They also foster stronger customer and stakeholder relationships and achieve long-term success.
Reliance and TCS have embraced this shift by implementing comprehensive DE&I policies and programs aimed at creating a more inclusive work environment.
Reliance and TCS have launched several initiatives to support the integration of PwD employees into their workforce.
These initiatives include specialized recruitment partnerships, disability-friendly infrastructure, and continuous monitoring of member experiences.
Both companies have also focused on sensitization and awareness sessions to promote a culture of inclusivity and acceptance.
Impact on Workforce Diversity
The efforts of Reliance and TCS have resulted in a notable increase in the representation of PwD employees across various levels of the organization.
The Nasscom-AON study reveals that 61% of organizations track PwD diversity.
Industries such as service and technology lead the way with intentional hiring initiatives.
Reliance and TCS are among the companies setting benchmarks in this area, demonstrating their commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workforce.
Leadership buy-in and accountability are crucial for the success of DE&I initiatives.
The Nasscom-AON study found that 73% of organizations report that CEOs and business leaders are driving their DE&I agenda.
Reliance and TCS have followed suit, with top management actively involved in promoting and supporting DE&I practices.
This leadership commitment has been instrumental in creating a more resilient and inclusive workplace.
