Cognizant (Nasdaq-100: CTSH) is one of the world's leading professional services companies, transforming clients'​ business, operating and technology models for the digital era. Our unique industry-based consultative approach helps clients envision, build and run more innovative and efficient businesses. Headquartered in the U.S., Cognizant is ranked 193 on the Fortune 500 and is consistently listed among the most admired companies in the world.

Founded in 1994 as a technology development arm of The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, we were spun off as an independent company in 1996, and have worked closely with large organizations to help them build stronger businesses ever since. Today, Cognizant engineers modern businesses to improve everyday life, helping some of the world’s most established companies remain the most loved brands. In today’s fast-changing technology landscape, we work with our clients to advance every aspect of how they serve their customers: digitizing their products, services and customer experiences; automating their business processes; and modernizing their technology infrastructures. Put simply, we help clients harness digital to address their daily needs and keep their businesses relevant.

As the partner they turn to execute on their digital priorities, we focus on IoT, AI, software engineering and cloud— the technologies that are changing the nature of business. Today, creating value by leveraging technology is very industry-specific, so we continue to deepen our expertise in 20 different industries, including banking and financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and retail. And to help speed clients’ journeys toward becoming digital, we bring our digital capabilities and industry expertise together into horizontal offerings and industry solutions that accelerate the most essential leaps that today’s technology makes possible, and complement those solutions with consulting and services built for the speed of business today.

With headquarters in the US and a rapidlyexpanding footprint that extends from India and China to Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East, we’re committed to building digital talent all around the globe so everyone can benefit from the full spectrum of human ingenuity. We collaborate locally with clients, in person and in their local languages. We consider it our responsibility to make people feel at home in the future, no matter how technologyenabled it becomes. So, we are committed to helping to solve some of humankind’s most difficult challenges in a way that is beneficial and comfortable for people through the work we do, and through investing in training people around the world in the digital skills that will be needed to do that work.

We believe that the opportunity presented by technology has never been greater, and because of that opportunity, Cognizant will continue to collaborate with clients to modernize their businesses, making everyday life even better for them, their customers and the communities they serve.

Our diverse community of 300,000+ people are working together to help transform the companies the world relies on. And when we’re not developing game-changing digital solutions for clients, we’re improving lives elsewhere by volunteering in local communities, fostering inclusion through our employee affinity groups and so much more.

Our team is as high-caliber as it is humble, caring and supportive of one another. We believe that continuous improvement is the catalyst for growth and innovation, and we offer the flexibility, support and opportunities all levels of associates need to take their lives and careers to new places.

Every day, all around the world, our people engineer impact―with their clients, communities, colleagues and their own lives.

We’re hard at work implementing three programs that promote gender diversity across the Cognizant ecosystem.

Cognizant Returnship Program

The decision to re-enter the workforce after an extended career break can be both exciting and challenging. We believe a pause in your career to pursue other important life callings helps you emerge not only stronger, but raring to go.

Cognizant Job Moves Program

We are committed to helping our employees advance their careers and capabilities through job moves within our internal organization. Internal tools and resources enable staff to explore open roles.

Cognizant Propel Program

Our signature women’s leadership development program for mid- and senior-level women leaders across the globe accelerates a diverse leadership pipeline and enables women leaders to thrive and succeed in a digital era.

At Cognizant, we are working every day to create conditions for everyone to thrive. It’s a commitment that extends far beyond our own workplaces. When all of us show up as inclusive leaders—deeply aware of and empathetic to others, with the courage to harness the power of diversity in everything we do—we elevate our work and create a powerful ripple effect on our teams, clients, and communities.

Cognizant is a company with immense reach across industries and geographies. The Executive Committee continues commitments on behalf of our global organization.

We aspire to:

• Hold ourselves accountable. We call out instances of bias when we see them, change ways of working that aren’t inclusive or equitable, and model inclusive behaviors in our everyday work. We encourage the same from all of our associates.
• Be courageous. We aim to lead and not follow. We set aspirations and are transparent about our progress against them. We lean in to tough topics and bold solutions.
• Continually learn and adapt. We partner with others to open our minds, expand our understanding and accelerate our path to a more inclusive Cognizant. We embrace best practices from organizations that are leading the way.
• Create change within and beyond Cognizant. Our role in creating a more inclusive world extends to our associates, clients and communities. We use our influence and resources to make an impact on social inequities in the places we live and work.
• Stay focused. D&I must be critically and relentlessly moved forward. We persist in working toward creating an environment where each and every person feels welcome, heard and equal.

We’ve got much more work ahead of us, but we’re on our way. We’re improving levels of diversity at Cognizant and creating thriving, more inclusive teams and champions.
