Tata Consultancy Services (
TCS
) has been recognized as the
top employer
in Europe by the Top Employers Institute. The IT company has been recognized for its efforts towards bridging
digital skill gaps
and fostering a
diverse workforce
.
This is TCS’ 12th consecutive entry at the top of the list. It has been named top employer in 12 countries including Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Norway, France and Spain.
In FY24, TCS Europe hired over 1,000 associates, boasting a diverse workforce of 142 nationalities. Women make up more than 32% of the local hires – an achievement attributed to TCS’ outstanding internal leadership program for women, which has been highlighted in the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Lighthouses 2024” report issued by the World Economic Forum.
TCS Europe has over 17,000 employees, with more than 5,000 that boast of a decade-long tenure. TCS is training its employees in digital skills and new technologies such as Generative AI. Having successfully trained more than 150,000 associates in GenAI, the organisation is now working on certifying over 25,000 associates on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Gen AI services. This 'talent transformation cycle' aims to help employees through “ELEVATE”, a merit-based, democratised, and transparent talent framework designed to establish a linkage between learning and career.
TCS has also undertaken a large-scale upskilling drive to train 20 million Information and Communications Technology (ICT) specialists by 2030 through various partnerships. This aligns with the goals of the European Digital Decade Policy Programme-- a policy program for fostering a digital society in the European Union. The company has signed up for the EU Pact for Skills-- a shared engagement model for skills development in Europe.
Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, Head of TCS Europe, said, "TCS is honoured to have been certified as a Top Employer in Europe for the twelfth consecutive year. By investing heavily in our people and nurturing a diverse talent pool, we are helping the next generation of IT professionals learn the critical business and leadership skills they need to thrive in our modern world.
