Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)(BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has recently joined think tanks and journalists to examine the global challenges of STEM education, talent mobility and how to engage build the next generation of talent. Occurring at the National Press Club in DC on January 14,"The World in 2050: Talent Mobility and the Future of Jobs" event sought answers to the fundamental questions of why global businesses face significant challenges in finding qualified talent with millions of STEM positions emerging and 200 million people globally unemployed.
“With talent having such a huge impact on the success and sustainability of businesses, it is critical to examine the demographic shifts in demand and supply of global talent. At TCS, we have, for example, seen first-hand the value that embracing Generation Y attittudes, behaviours and technology needs can bring. Our employees have embraced social platforms that facilitate collaboration on everything from designing valuable new software, to volunteering in the community. Because of this and other organizational efforts, we are proud to have one of the lowest attrition rates in the industry,” said Balaji Ganapathy, Head of Workforce Effectiveness, TCS North America.
