Indian IT services companies Wipro, Infosys and HCL Technologies have faced fresh lawsuits on employee discrimination in the US last month at a time when these firms are seeing an increased hostility for visas in their largest export market.
All of them have adjusted their personal policies to accommodate US and EU expectations. They have trained their managers in US and EU techniques and have instituted industry best practice procedures regarding HR and anti-discrimination. Having said all that, their US and EU organisations suffer from a significant lack of diversity both from an ethnic and gender perspective,” said Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO at Everest Group, an IT advisory and research firm.
