Planning

How the planning service works
As an early adopter of this innovation, we are ahead of the curve on lessons learned and have launched a rapid deployment offering to customers. HCLTech was one of SAP’s first system integration partners to actually deploy CIG for a large energy company in 2019.

Our first step is to provide a free assessment to right-size a plan to meet your own unique circumstances.

HCLTech provides services to plan the optimal journey or help you integrate and deploy Cloud solutions. Our service covers business case, implementation planning and sequencing through to detailed resource planning from all engaged parties.

We can take full ownership of the entire journey, including implementation, testing, change management, training and support.

Through our implementation experience we have developed templates and accelerators for all aspects of delivery, from pre-built training to automated testing. Drawing on this best practice experience will provide the optimal plan for your organisation.

Fighting climate change

At HCL Technologies, we believe that we have got accountability to the future, as well as an imperative role to play in addressing global challenges, such as climate change and environmental sustainability.
HCLTech commits itself to confronting these challenges by assuming a leadership role in fostering a sustainable environment and responding appropriately to the risk posed by environmental degradation.
HCLTech will strive to achieve excellence in environmental management by:
• Integrating environmental considerations into our all areas of operations, considering our environmental risks, responsibilities and organisational capability
• Meeting all environmental compliance obligations applicable to the organisation
• Reducing our ecological footprint through optimised utilisation of natural resources, including land, water and by ensuring the responsible use of energy throughout our operations, including conserving energy, improving energy efficiency and giving preference to renewable over non-renewable energy wherever feasible
• Introducing more sustainable and green procurement approaches
• Preventing pollution and minimising all types of waste, including e-Waste by adopting a Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Recovery philosophy
• Being an environmentally responsible neighbour in the community where we operate, and correct incidents or conditions that endanger the environment
• By committing ourselves to open and constructive engagement with communities surrounding our operations on environmental matters
• Providing a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets
• Continually improving and learning from our efforts in working towards environmental sustainability
• Monitoring and reporting our environmental performance to key stakeholders
• Ensuring that environmental policy is communicated to all the concerned persons working for or on behalf of the organisation, to make them aware of their environmental responsibilities
• By making our environmental policy available to all stakeholders, including public on demand
• Maintaining appropriate controls, including periodic review of environmental policy, to ensure its applicability and relevance to the changing scenarios and stakeholder’s expectations.

Covid-19 recovery

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its ruinous effect on lives and livelihoods has been unprecedented in modern times. HCLTech has used its position as a global IT company to mitigate the effects where possible, supporting our clients to continue operating in these difficult times and providing help to those affected. We have developed rapid solutions to support our customers in returning to work during the pandemic with examples ranging for PPE stock management, workforce social-distancing solutions and the deployment of remote working technology.
Our HCLTech Foundation is a focal point for global programmes and has coordinated our support for COVID-19 affected communities.
As a result of the pandemic there have been many industries that have been heavily impacted economically and many job losses have been caused as government support is reduced, companies going into administration and many freelance/ self-employed prospects have simply disappeared.
Some of the people displaced by the pandemic will have transferable skills and just need limited support in cross-training.
We offer a number of opportunities to help semi-skilled staff enter the IT services world. Schemes such as our ‘Consultant in Training’ programme where staff are taken on and have a mix of formal training and on the job mentoring to give them the skills to continue on this path. The formal training can result in recognised qualifications, such as technology or project management certifications. Many alumni of this programme are taken on by HCLTech as the first rung on their new career ladder.
With regard to the less skilled people left stranded by the Coronavirus outbreak we provide targeted help in a similar way to how we support disadvantaged individuals.
We will work with our customers to understand the impact of COVID-19 and develop CSR plans to support these at a local level.

Tackling economic inequality

HCLTech is committed to Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) to help equality/diversity, the economy, health/wellbeing and local communities. For local economies/communities, HCLTech creates and maintains positive industry partnerships, engaged employees (including a focus on staff behaviours) and a diverse workforce, working collaboratively to make work a great experience for all.
In the UK, HCLTech works in partnership with the Prince’s Trust to maximise our CSR activities relating to how technology can make a positive difference to the lives of people and organisations worldwide. We have developed an education programme called “Get Started with Technology” to upskill disadvantaged youth across the country.
In the UK, HCLTech runs a CIT (Consultant in Training) programme every year, whereby we hire fresh graduates with no prior corporate experience in the UK and train them on relevant technologies, then employ and mentor them to be Consultants. This has been run in conjunction with Manchester Business School and we are looking to expand this programme to include the other Higher Education establishments.
We are mindful of our role to play in of supporting local businesses and generating additional economic development through our engagements. As such, we consider using local suppliers to meet requirements that we cannot fulfil ourselves. As an example, a significant proportion of the initial User Experience and Design work for new Manchester United app was undertaken by Manchester based Small/Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs).
HCLTech runs innovation labs, collaborating through global Hackathons or developing patents for new and emerging technologies. We share this knowledge via events and Webinars, as well as providing access to thought leadership in the guise of our Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council. Recent events have covered such diverse topics as Blockchain, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Cognitive Systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT).

Equal opportunity

HCLTech focusses on creating/sustaining a nurturing environment for all employees, irrespective of backgrounds, gender, nationality, culture, ethnicity, age or differing abilities of individuals.
Gender parity and inclusion at all levels of the hierarchy is our top priority, with a special focus given to increasing the representation of women leaders at key leadership positions. The female employee ratio is a crucial metric that is reported and reviewed quarterly in the company board meetings. All our recruitment teams carry a target on gender hiring and all our job specifications have been reviewed to make them gender neutral.
HCLTech is committed to Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) to help equality & diversity, the economy, health & wellbeing and local communities. We have initiatives running to support, nurture, develop and celebrate the successes of disadvantaged communities or individuals. We endeavour to make a positive impact in the lives of people within the communities we operate in.

For local economies/communities, HCLTech creates and maintains positive industry partnerships, engaged employees (including a focus on staff behaviours) and a diverse workforce, working collaboratively to make work a great experience for all.

The company implements and maintains a management system that sets targets to monitor and continually improve our social performance across the company. Also, we comply with all relevant legislative and regulatory requirements relating to be a responsible business, including, but not limited to, the Modern Slavery Act, the Equality Act, the Public Services Act and the Living Wage Act.

To propagate an inclusive culture at HCLTech, a virtual Inclusion Lab model has been designed in consultation with business and HR stakeholders. The objective was to design a systemic, top down approach where each leader was sensitised and given the necessary skillset, mindset and toolset to actively demonstrate and promote inclusive behaviours.
