Business Wire
WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global
Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today announced that
it has been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI)
for the second consecutive year. The GEI is a modified market
capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of
public companies committed to transparency in gender-data
reporting. This reference index measures gender equality across
five pillars: female leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay
& gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment
policies, and pro-women brand.
WNS is included in the 2022 list for scoring at or above global
thresholds established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the
achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.
The 2022 GEI expands globally to represent 45 countries and
regions, including firms headquartered in Colombia and Uruguay for
the first time. Member companies represent a variety of sectors,
including financials, technology and utilities, which collectively
have the highest company representation in the index.
"Building organizations that embody diversity and inclusion,
gender parity and equal employment opportunities is mandatory for
companies to stay relevant in the future. At WNS, we remain
committed to these tenets and continue to sharpen our focus on
promoting diversity through targeted initiatives and ongoing
education,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
WNS has introduced specialized programs such as CENTURION, a
management training initiative in association with Cornell
University for high potential women leaders. In addition, the CEO’s
Millennial Council is another innovative program that fosters an
inclusive culture across the organization. The council includes
millennials across WNS’ global locations who work closely with the
CEO and the senior management team, contributing their unique
perspectives to the overall direction and growth of the
organization.
“We are proud to recognize WNS and the other 417 companies
included in the 2022 GEI for their commitment to transparency and
setting a new standard in gender-related data reporting. Even
though the threshold for inclusion in the GEI has risen, the member
list continues to grow. This is a testament that more companies are
working to improve upon their gender-related metrics, fostering
more opportunity for diverse talent to succeed in their
organizations,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and
Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club.
Both the survey and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated
costs. Bloomberg collected this data for reference purposes only.
The index is not ranked.
