Wellness initiatives
We undertook several programs to ensure the wellness of Mindtree Minds.
Living Mindfully: We have introduced this program to help Mindtree Minds learn effective ways of bringing stability, resilience and deep mindset change, to deal with challenges in life. Built around two core themes, ‘Calm Mind’ and ‘Mindful life’, it consists of a series of workshops that address the mental, physical, social and psychological well-being of Mindtree Minds.
SmitFit: This app chalks out a health and wellness plan for our Mindtree Minds. There are a range of services provided – personalized plans and goals, dedicated health coaches, nutritionist, yoga, meditation, health tracker etc.
Men’s health sessions: Dedicated sessions for men by a leading oncologist to shed light on aspects of men’s health that are commonly overlooked, particularly the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
1 to 1 help: To help our Minds deal with various work-life challenges like stress, anxiety, parenting and relationship issues, Mindtree has partnered with an external vendor to provide free of cost professional counselling and awareness sessions.
#BetheGiveR: Under this umbrella, there are multiple initiatives aimed at empowering the marginalized sections of our society through education, upliftment of persons with disability and sustainable livelihood. One such initiative under this ambit enabled Mindtree Minds to educate children of their domestic workers, with a refurbished laptop for online education, along with focusing on their overall development.
Personalized communication: Our leadership expressed their gratitude to each and every Mindtree Mind and their family by sending a personalized 'Thank you' note and a goody bag for their contribution rendered throughout the year.

ABC of leadership
We categorize our learning plan based on four identifying factors – role-based skilling, project-based skilling, opportunity-based skilling and skilling for future needs. We develop programs in line with these differentiating factors to create a focused impact. We also designed a unique and innovative leadership program under ABC of Delivery Leadership Capability – Ascent (C5 – C6) for Project Managers with 12- 15 years of experience, Blazing Star (C7) for Delivery Managers with 16 to 20 years of experience, and Capstone (C8 +) for the role of Delivery Partners, with 20+ years of experience.
Developing leaders of tomorrow
Under this initiative, we have started weekly newsletters, made way for anonymized constructive feedback and selected catalysts to lead the way in making leadership behaviors an integral part of the Mindtree DNA. We also launched a unique program which pairs a Mindtree Mind with a senior leader to learn and grow their potentials in leadership roles.
Career Compass – career architecture framework
At Mindtree, our commitment to ‘caring for people’ enables us to bridge the gap between employer and employee and create an environment that fosters growth for all. This career framework links key talent processes like Demand Fulfillment, Skilling, Rewards, and Performance Management to create a robust competency building program with a strong focus on future skilling.
The career framework is designed to meet the needs of the customer while offering Mindtree Minds a variety of career options in the direction they choose to progress. There is a holistic supply chain of talent that aligns to business goals and delivery model and Mindtree Minds aspirations.
Diversity and Inclusion
At Mindtree, we believe that diversity is a key driver for success. Our consistent focus on creating an inclusive environment fosters a sense of belonging for everyone. Our Diversity and Inclusivity (D&I) charter makes sure that there is no discrimination on the basis of ‘EDGES’ – Ethnicity/Nationality, Disability, Gender and Sexual Orientation. The Diversity & Inclusion Council guides and ensures the promotion of D&I activities.
Our diversity and inclusion (D&I) mission statement
The brand identifier ‘In Harmony’ emphasizes on creating an environment where unique persons of varied ethnicity, nationality, abilities, gender, and sexual orientation, can come together ‘In Harmony’ to redefine possibilities.
At Mindtree Inclusion is Respect | Belongingness | Empowerment | Progress
Our Goals
The D&I function looks at building bridges, starting conversations and developing programs and initiatives that will sensitize, create awareness and empower.
Escaping the Echo Chamber - Unconscious Bias Program
We are all subject to unconscious bias daily. Our brain makes quick connections and inferences. Unfortunately, this is not always the best inference and if we are not careful, it can lead to bias at the workplace, creating an unhealthy work environment. Bias based on gender, conformity, affinity, and attractiveness are some common biases. It is important to create awareness, so that we can respond and react in meaningful ways.
At Mindtree, a training module with several real-life examples, is a mandatory part of the ‘Manager Development Program’, which ensures managers are better equipped to handle their teams. The program has also been extended to and adapted for senior leaders.
Women Tech Trailblazer
We encourage women to take up technology as a long-term career, with focused skilling to keep them abreast of the changing technology landscape. While technology skilling is crucial, life skills or coaching is equally important to help women succeed. This program at Mindtree is targeted at Women Minds who are at associate, junior and mid-senior levels. Our initiative helps women make the right choices with confidence, conviction and clarity to break the glass ceiling. We have conducted over eight batches with 140 plus women, receiving positive and encouraging feedback from all participants.
Focused Leadership Program - She WILL
The ‘She WILL’ (Women in Leaders League) initiative is targeted towards senior women leaders and promotes a gender sensitized and inclusive work environment. It aims to have a significant impact on women leadership roles by addressing specific development needs, engagement, growth and retention of women. It promotes a workplace culture where the potential of women employees are leveraged and every woman feels valued, heard and fully involved with the Company.
The program also helps identify challenges and opportunities for women leaders to grow and expand their outlook. It helps achieve visibility, professional development, networking and cross-functional exposure for women looking to advance their careers.
MIND – Mentoring In New Dimension
‘MIND’ is a structured mentoring program for high potential women Minds in mid-management roles. Mentoring is a proven asset in spurring professional and personal growth, and we believe it is an important factor that can help a professional advance her career.
Women Wednesdays
‘Women Wednesdays’ is a unique initiative where we invite women leaders from both within our organization and externally to share the stage at Mindtree. Through their life journeys and experiences which they share with the teams, these leaders stand out as role models to other women, help break gender bias and provide unique insights and tips to help women advance in their professional careers. Each session has seen the participation of around 800+ Minds.
Sensitization workshops
To further our commitment towards LGBTQIA+ inclusion, we have hired qualified transgender individuals at Mindtree and are working closely to ensure that they have a safe space at work, can be themselves at the workplace and grow with the Company. We conducted sensitization workshops for the teams they would be joining to build awareness, break stereotypes and create a trans-inclusive workplace.
Some results of our D&I initiatives:
Performance and talent management
Our performance management system is focused on creating an empowered and motivated talent pool. It promotes consistent goal management, continuous performance management and career development of the individual with a sharp eye on performance.
The 3-pointer rating scale - Top Talent, Valued Talent and Developing Talent - has been retained and continues to bring ease and clarity to the performance management process.
Career Compass program
The program is intended to deepen the synergy between the organization and Mindtree Minds, keeping their aspirations at its core. Digital profiles for Mindtree Minds have been created to ensure that skill and experience data are captured dynamically, which serves as the data hub of the career compass program. It is a step in the right direction for our overall design change to role-based continuous assessments covering performance and capability.
Top Talent Initiative
We have conceptualized the Top Talent Initiative (TTI) to devote dedicated time in nurturing and engaging top talents with an intent to promote a meaningful career journey. As part of this initiative, we are focusing on three areas which are cumulatively called CwC (Career-Wellness-Connects).
Compensation and benefits
Our rewards and benefits programs are designed to differentially recognize Mindtree Minds' performance, expertise and potential to attain business goals, while remaining competitive and equitable. Our variable compensation structure is aligned to business growth and goals, with an aim to ensure higher cashflow for Mindtree Minds. The variable compensation plan for Mindtree Minds in Sales, middle and senior management roles, aim to foster desired behaviors and outcomes, such as profitable growth, revenue, annuity business, strategic deals, delivery excellence, customer satisfaction and collaboration.
ESOP plans were rolled out during the year in an endeavor to provide long-term incentive instruments, facilitate ownership and provide Mindtree Minds the opportunity for long-term wealth creation. This year saw a wider coverage than the previous years. In order to stay competitive and an employer of choice, we gather market intelligence and insights in total rewards area to support our broader talent strategy and to tap new markets continuously. We have enriched our benefit offerings through pension plans, enhanced insurance coverages and life insurances to name a few. During, pandemic, we ensured Mindtree Minds were able to care for their ailing family members by providing them time off to care for family members affected by COVID-19. We continue to provide Company-funded COVID-19 insurance programs.
Our culture of reward and recognition
Our Reward and Recognition program aims at driving a high-performance and appreciation culture with a focus on demonstrating our values as everyday behaviors. The Reward and Recognition framework has been designed to strengthen the ways in which Mindtree Minds can recognize and appreciate each other.
Key elements of the Reward and Recognition program:
The new R&R framework was rolled out at the end of Q3 FY20 and it has grown over the last few quarters, encouraging a spirit of appreciation and collaboration while highlighting noteworthy accomplishments.
Crest Awards
We have quarterly awards recognizing individual and team excellence for significant contributions during the quarter. Till date, we have chosen 197 Mindtree Minds and 765 teams as winners across all industry and service line groups.
SpotOn Awards
To foster the spirit of instant recognition and rewarding performance in real time, the SpotOn awards has three main categories. Mastermind, that applauds a Mindtree Mind who has demonstrated expertise, Hatsoff which recognizes Mindtree Minds for a job well executed and A-Team for teams with deliverables resulting in high customer satisfaction and display of exemplary team spirit. Combining all categories, we have a total of 48,338 Spot Ons awarded this financial year.
Gracias
To help build a culture of collaboration, this award appreciates peer contributions and value-led behaviors. In short, it recognizes a Mindtree Mind for an act or gesture that has touched or impacted another.
Pinnacle
Mindtree’s Pinnacle Awards celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Mindtree Minds. A Pinnacle is the highest point of success that can be achieved. The Pinnacle Awards recognize individual and team achievements in all domains, providing a level playing field for all Mindtree Minds to compete for top honors.
Fighting the pandemic together
FY22 saw two successive waves of COVID-19. We enforced several measures to mitigate the situation and keep our people safe. At the same time, we ensured their wellness through focused initiatives directed at supporting them mentally and physically.

Best practices
Green procurement
This is a set of initiatives that reflect our commitment and drive our green agenda. We are in the process of creating the framework for this initiative and will continue to develop it in the following year.
Supplier code of conduct
Our Code of Conduct mandates no child labor, no forced or compulsory labor, and no human rights violations. All our Agreements and POs cover all terms and conditions extensively, related to child labor and labor law, leaving no room for compliance issues.
Supplier engagement
We have regularly engaged with our suppliers. Through this activity we review market challenges and asses how to mitigate risks related to supply chain issues. This is a continuous process, and we will keep engaging with suppliers on this.
Go Green: Digitalization of processes
Supplier360 – our supplier portal launched in FY20, further evolved during the year, spreading its reach globally, and bringing complete supplier visibility into view. The traction was accentuated by the pandemic, and we witnessed early benefits in terms of time and efficiencies. More than 16,000+ POs were shared with vendors through this portal, and we have received more than 39,000+ invoices through the portal.
We have also initiated a vendor registration portal this year, where vendors can share their details for registration. This is part of our digital Initiatives, and we are receiving good response. PO-invoice transactions are now virtual globally under this portal, which has been an important part of our ‘Go Green’ concept.
As part of our responsible procurement principle, we accord high importance to reduction of waste, recycling, hardware reuse, take-back and disposal of hazardous waste, on a continuous basis. With a series of small but significant steps, such as increasing laptop OEM warranty in the last year, we increased asset utilization and achieved savings.
Outsourcing of business processes, to varying degrees, involve the physical and logical storage of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), creating significant enterprise risk. A host of data-rich services are now delivered by vendors and sub-contractors with virtual and physical access to everything related to the employee’s and customer’s personal information. As part of our inclusive and sustainable long-term approach, we have enabled PII non-disclosure through data protection agreement with our suppliers.
