25. TOP ORGANIZATIONS PRIORITIZE GENDER DIVERSITY
Tata is a global enterprise comprising over 100
independent companies from the likes of Tata
Motors and Tata Steel to Tata Teleservices.
The organization wanted to:
• Increase the number of women in C-Suite
positions, having 1,000 women leaders by 2020
• Double the number of women employees over the
same period
26. TATA CREATED A HIGH-POTENTIAL MENTORING PROGRAM
The program identified women employees who had
been at the organization for 15 years, and matched
them with CEOs from various Tata subsidiary
companies outside each woman’s industry of
expertise.
As a result, Tata is able to engage women with
leadership executives, so they can grow their
leadership network and gain visibility within the
organization.
27. WOMEN EMPLOYEES REAP THE BENEFITS
On the leadership journey, hand-holding
by an experienced mentor can be a vital
support to help us grow. Through the
cross-company mentoring program, we
provide an opportunity for our women
professionals to fulfil their potential and
move up the ladder.
-N S Rajan, group chief HR officer of Tata
Sons
