Inclusion at Wipro is about integrating diversity effortlessly into every day working, encouraging all to be their authentic selves. We respect uniqueness among individuals and nurture an overall sense of belonging. We celebrate and learn from diverse ideas, backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.

While we deeply invest our efforts into key 4-5 areas, our journey involves working and understanding any of the global pillars of inclusivity - Thought Diversity, Religion, Gender, language & Accent, ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, marital status, economic status, age, nationality, parenthood, disability, supplier, job tittle, function & skill.

Inclusion is the culture every individual at Wipro experiences every day. It is in our DNA guided by our strong values, known as the Spirit of Wipro.

Women of  Wipro (WOW)

Structured through an innovative and unique “Life – Stage” based approach, our WoW programs are not a ‘one-size fits all’, but have been tailored and customized to cater to the needs of women at each stage of their life & work. At different life stages the needs & expectations of women employees are different. The early career stage focuses on building perspectives and fueling aspirations, the early to mid stage blend in flexibility Initiatives and opportunities to grow and at mid to senior management, it is about strengthening a seasoned professional to lead with confidence.

Lgbtq+ Inclusion

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) diversity is a pillar of Inclusion & Diversity at Wipro. For the LGBTQ+ community at Wipro, our goal is to create a workplace and environment where they are welcomed, feel safe, treated with equal respect and acceptance and not subjected to bias. There are various programs like the Voluntary self-declaration of gender and sexual orientation, Sensitization Sessions, Wipro Pride ERG, Gender neutral restroom signage and Pride Month. We celebrate June as Pride month to recognize the contributions of the LGBT community to our collective success. Around the world, Wiproites participate in Pride parades, celebrations and events to celebrate inclusion.

Employees with Disabilities

Our vision is to make Disability Inclusion part of Wipro’s DNA, by creating a holistic ecosystem enabling Employees with Disabilities to integrate seamlessly and provide superlative experiences. We have created a strategic framework called CREATE to enable this; career, recruitment, engagement, accessibility, training and enablement.

At Wipro, we believe that our diversity strengthens our creativity. Be it cultural diversity or generational diversity, our work environment is a mosaic of thoughts and perspectives. It is important to be conscious of this diversity and strive to be more open and inclusive in our thoughts and actions. As we operate in increasingly interconnected work environments, being aware of and respectful of the diversity that exists among us is essential.
