The pandemic has caused women's participation in the workforce to drop across industries, and tech is no exception. Women make up 26.7% of technologists – a 2.1% drop in representation from March 2020 and a reverse after five years of progress, according to a new report from AnitaB.org, a global non-profit focused on intersectional gender and pay parity in tech. But throughout the pandemic, several tech companies have stood out to help women reach parity in their technologist workforce. Let's take a look at which are the top IT companies best suited for women techies- TCS vs Intel vs HCL
Tech companies including TCS, SAP Labs India, AMD, Cognizant, Mindtree, Mphasis, and Texas Instrument are trying to crack the gender diversity code. Some of these initiatives aim to increase female coders' share to 36%. Nasscom member companies are taking diversity agenda more seriously than ever before. Some companies make diversity part of their Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs).
Even though the participation of women in the tech workforce has gone down to almost 16 percent in recent months, top IT companies are planning to increase female participation to higher levels. Here's what top IT companies like TCS, Intel, and HCL are working on.
Rebegin is a chance for experienced women professionals to take back a promising career after a break because nothing should be a barrier to deserved skill. TCS has always set the standard for providing a healthy work environment for all workers, and this is evident in the statements of empowered women who have reinvented their futures through the Rebegin program.
Home to Office, a program for women returning to the profession after a career gap, was introduced by Intel India in 2017. The program is an important factor in Intel's ongoing dedication to funding social justice activities that further Intel's inclusion objectives. The program helps women facilitate a seamless transition from a career break to the workplace. It helps all women with at least 2 years of work experience and on a 6 months career break. Through this program, Intel is offering eligible candidates for direct contract roles or full-time opportunities with job flexibility options to join Onsite, Hybrid, or Remote.
Through counseling sessions and classroom instruction, HCL's "iBelieve" program for women focuses on helping them advance their careers. This paid training program guarantees women who want to work in the IT business a beginning salary of Rs. 2.58 lakh. HCL ensures that women who enroll in the program will receive new training in business and technical skills so they can handle the challenging occupations of today. Depending on the varying levels of expertise of the women enrolled in this program, the length, and type of instruction will vary.
