Responsibility at Work
At Cognizant, out most crucial asset is our talent: the 100,000-plus associates who determine the company's performance and drive our success. So we continually re-commit to them - attracting and retaining high-quality people, and nurturing a culture of service, caring and passion.
Cognizant is committed to continuous learning. We give our associates opportunities to stay current with leading-edge technologies and develop the skills to perform ever more effectively and efficiently.
As part of our career-development emphasis, we build job rotation into career paths. Fast-track growth opportunities are offered to high performers, and opportunities to shift career tracks avoid pigeon-holing associates into one discipline. Through these policies, our people can reach their full potential, while the company
and our clients gain the benefits of
enthusiastic, motivated employees.
Our performance management processes are customized to meet the evaluation needs of different lines of business and levels of responsibilities. Evaluation models include role-based scorecards, goal-based assessments and competency evaluations.
On the diversity front, we are aiming to increase the number of women in management and senior leadership roles. In 2010, we instituted a global Women's Initiative to provide an interactive forum for female asscociates to connect with each other and share ideas and best practices.
