Through our TechBee program, we engage with the next generation early and provide them with core technology skills on the job and a platform to continue with their education, in the process we gain valuable insights to transform our policies, practices and programs to cater to their expectations.
The Apprenticeship program in the areas of business analysis, new-age technologies, finance, HR, marketing and project management for high school graduates has been recognized as a ground-breaking initiative by leading analyst firm Technology Business Research (TBR).
HCLTech’s people-centric culture fosters productivity and performance in hybrid work environments. We actively listen to our employees through benchmarked surveys and sentiment analysis.

Employee Perspectives
Coming out of the university and joining a corporate job can sometimes be a little anxiety-inducing when you are not sure how your theoretical knowledge will be tested in applied aspects. But HCLTech was there the whole way, ensuring that I was ready and able to perform well at my position, providing one-on-one mentorship in my role and making sure that I understand the technology stacks that I am getting my hands on. It allows me to feel confident in the work I am doing.”
John Stegmaier
Junior Software Developer, HCLTech Canada
TechBee has been a life-changing opportunity for me. This program helped me start my career and brought a positive outlook to my life. The exposure I gained working on global projects has enhanced my skills and knowledge and will serve me well in future.”

Creating Enriching Job Experiences
We believe that empowering our people with the right skills and experiences is essential for their professional fulfillment and our collective success. Our clients are accelerating the adoption of disruptive and nextgen technologies. To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving technology landscape, we are embracing skill-based talent management and democratizing access to knowledge.
Moving away from role-based learning, we focus on developing next-gen capabilities and talent across a wide spectrum of digital, engineering, cloud and AI technologies. Our learning frameworks embrace the latest technological advancements, from GenAI to ESG-driven technology solutions and 5G/6G applications.
By aligning our recruitment, recognition, progression, reward, learning, performance and staffing processes with skills, we ensure that our workforce is equipped to meet the dynamic demands of our clients. This shift to skill-based learning has also positively impacted internal fulfillment and talent mobility. Over 15% of the demand for key skills is now fulfilled through upskilling .
We are also working to gamify the learning process that will start with employee self-enrollment based on their interest and subsequent deployment in their chosen area. This is another way of giving choice and control to our employees for their upskilling.
Leader Speak
The Gen Z talent characteristics have driven changes to two important parts of our approach to talent management—and to our culture overall—in the last several months. First, we’ve redefined skilling as interests led by employee aspirations rather than business or customer requirements. Second, we’ve created a rules-based internal talent marketplace, where employees get to choose their next role and the type of projects they want to work on, based on their overall career progression and ambition.”

I am a living example of HCLTech’s promise to empower lives. After my accident, HCLTech made me feel I could still live independently - the entire campus is accessible. From my job interview onwards, I’ve never been allowed to feel different. Here ‘inclusion and diversity’ are not mere words on the corporate agenda; they’re part of the company’s culture.”
Priyanka Srivastava

where more girls aspire to pursue careers in STEM.
Employee Perspective
To all the women and young girls out there, I’d like to say, never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something because you’re a woman; work hard to disprove their claims. When you have a dream, you must grasp it and hold on to it no matter what, because nothing is impossible for those who try.”
Vatsla Khattar
Software Engineer, Digital Business, HCLTech India
My advice to young women in STEM is to live a life of continual education. This is probably also applicable to other fields, but for technology specifically, in such a dynamic and changing field it is important to always be learning new concepts and skills to not only stay competitive, but also to expand your base of knowledge.”
