Dubai: VFS Global, the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions, continued to move ahead on its commitment to improve gender diversity in the workforce. Among our recent milestones, the ratio of women leaders in the company increased by 7% over the last two years, reaching 27% in 2022. We also maintained a gender ratio of 57% women in our global workforce of over 8,800.
In line with the International Women’s Day theme of #EmbraceEquity this year, creating equal opportunities for women and nurturing women leaders has been an integral part of VFS Global’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) agenda.
“Strategic integration of DEI principles in our workforce is a part of Nurturing Our Colleagues, one of the five fundamental pillars of VFS Global’s sustainability strategy. In 2022, we also linked leadership performance to annual sustainability targets to ensure year-on-year measurable improvement. Empowering women and achieving gender equality is not only important from a social perspective, but is also the right thing to do. Organisations with more women in top management and board positions reflect the profiles of their customers and employees in a better way and benefit from more diverse views,” said Nirbhik Goel, Chief Human Resources Officer, VFS Global.
