TCS Crosses 500,000 Employee Mark in FY22
The TCS headcount for the first quarter of FY22 landed to 20,409 more associates, taking its total headcount to 509,058.
Lakkad said,“ The TCS family crossed a new milestone, with over 500,000 associates this quarter. We continue to attract the best talent across the globe with a net addition of 20,409 associates to the TCS family this quarter.”
He also added that over the past five years, the company has been beefing up its local workforce in major markets, hence despite travel restrictions during the pandemic, the IT major's business was not affected.
Rajesh Gopinathan, CEO & MD, TCS, also shared that having such a huge employee base is like going through a “living experiment”.
“We are continuously exploring what is the best we can do with this size of our workforce. The question is how we structure ourselves in a dynamic changing world. Typically, a professional’s life spans over 40 years, within which they have to be prepared to go through about 5-6 tech cycles. Having an organization that thinks about their upskilling and reskilling is a very important aspect for a professional,” Gopinathan added
In this direction, the company continues to focus on talent development initiatives, with employees logging in over 10 million learning hours in Q1. Over 478,000 employees have been trained in Agile methods and over 407,000 employees have been trained on multiple new technologies.
