Our Talent Strategy in the AI Era
The companies best suited to achieve success put upskilling and training at the core their agenda. This is also in line with employee expectations. At HCLTech, we have taken concrete steps to expand our ability to upskill our people. We have democratized upskilling to enable employees:
- To find and match their mentors with specific skills they are seeking to gain
- To openly leverage internal talent exchange platforms for job rotations and for wider global experience that can help build new skills
- To start their career early (for some as early as high school) to stay ahead of the curve and develop skills in line with what industry demands
