Intern Profile and Diversity

Diversity

Infosys is the first Indian IT company to establish an organization that manages and drives all diversity and inclusion initiatives. Today, Infosys has employees from over 83 countries and women constitute more than 32% of our workforce.

Diversity in talent is not an option but a key driver for our success. Our vision is to create an inclusive work place and leverage the power of diversity for a sustainable competitive advantage. The principles and the goals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are at the center of our Diversity and Inclusion strategy. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and our recruitment and promotion policies are based on meritocracy.

The InStep experience complements the vision of Diversity through its talent and engagement framework. Our interns have the unique opportunity to engage with students from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds.

Diversity as an Asset

Inspiring and attracting an outstanding pool of students from all over the globe, the InStep experience provides the possibility of cultural enhancement. Interns are exposed to professional and personal multicultural interactions throughout their program which prepare them to be a globalized professional and citizen.

Several activities and events are promoted throughout the InStep program in order to profit from our diverse profile and enable interns to gain from the multicultural experience. Attending cultural workshops, practicing other languages, learning regional business etiquettes are some examples of activities promoted to boost InSteppers skills and convert our diversity into an asset.
