Genpact Career 2.0: Helping talented women return to work

Genpact President and CEO NV “Tiger” Tyagarajan firmly believes a couple of things when it comes to gender diversity in a corporate setting. First, that diversity is a “secret sauce” in terms of adding value at all levels of an organization, and second, that it is the responsibility of a company’s senior leaders to champion diversity efforts. At Genpact, Tyagarajan has done just that, driving a suite of progressive practices and programs with the goal of achieving gender diversity, which Genpact defines simply as a workforce of 50% women. The company’s flagship program, Career 2.0—focused on recruiting and retaining mid-level women who have taken a career break—is among the most innovative.
