NTT DATA Business Solutions
At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we are committed to create an equal and inclusive workplace, where all employees are valued and diversity is celebrated.
We happily present our very first diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing (DEI&W) report. This report provides a clear and transparent overview of our efforts and achievements in fostering DEI&W. As guiding pillars of our business practices, we are committed to keeping our customers, employees, partners, suppliers, and the broader public informed about our DEI&W initiatives and successes.
Bringing together people from different backgrounds, with unique experiences and individual differences, creates a modern, dynamic, and innovative workplace. Many of today’s achievements and developments in IT would probably be unthinkable without diversity in the workplace.
At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we are aware that the diversity of our employees is a great opportunity for us as a company. Therefore, we are transparent with our people and continously develop our environment and culture so that the differences between our employees are respected and valued. We believe that in addition to the acceptance and appreciation of differences, actual inclusion and a sense of belonging are decisive to unlock the full potential of each employee.
The mission of diversity management is to increase, maintain and cherish the diversity of our workforce. Our focus is particularly on creating the framework and policies to ensure equal opportunities and prevent discrimination in our working environment. Driven by the strategic approach of our management our diversity actions reach up to every employee. Thus, everyone is called upon to work with each other in a responsible and sensitive manner. Because truly lived diversity is not the task of one department, but the responsibility of every single person in the company.
The specific measures with which we put diversity on a daily agenda include unconscious biases trainings, the increase of work-life harmony, the support for women in leadership, the establishment of a fathers’ network as well as the appreciation of other life concepts by the dedication of our global LGBTQIA+ community.
Valuing diversity, equity, inclusion & wellbeing (DEI&W) creates a chance to shine for everyone. Pursuing a holistic approach of DEI&W ensures a healthy environment where everyone feels respected and secure to bring their whole selves to the workplace. By strategically anchoring DEI&W within the organizational framework we create a fertile ground for driving meaningful change and fostering creativity and innovation.

At NTT DATA Business Solutions we have almost 16,000 experts with more than 90 different nationalities from 33 countries working together – behind these numbers, there is a diverse group of people with their individual careers, experiences, soft and hard skills, who meet equally unique people among our customer base.
United by enthusiasm for IT, our employees support and enrich each other every day with their expertise. This way we not only create new ideas and realize innovative projects but also achieve the best and individualized solutions for our customers around the world.
At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we work in diverse teams including employees from all countries, age groups and genders. We believe that the diversity of our employees is one of the greatest advantages for us as a company. Because diversity brings together the best skills, unleashes innovative ideas as well as a wider range of perspectives on projects and thus the best solutions for our customers.
An important matter for NTT DATA Business Solutions is to support its employees in balancing their family and career. This includes flexible, mobile, and part-time working models as well as maternity and paternity possibilities around the world. Likewise, there are great initiatives in single countries, such as the setup of an own kindergarten in Malaysia, the establishment of a lactation room for mothers in Turkey or the german cooperation with awo lifebalance.
At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we welcome employees of all sexual orientations and gender identities and consider ourselves as allies for LGBTQIA+ members. Together as a company we want to raise awareness and provide personal support for LGBTQIA+. In this regard creating a workplace and atmosphere where everyone feels free to be themselves is the most important thing. To support and celebrate pride and the diversity in our company we set up a global LGBTQIA+ community and organized our first global LGBTQIA+ network session in 2021.
At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we believe in a gender-balanced workforce. But it’s no secret that especially in the IT industry women are underrepresented. To create a balanced workforce advocating for female leadership is key. Therefore, we support our female employees with leadership workshops, female mentoring, and cross mentoring programs as well as networking events for a forthcoming equal business world. With this and further actions we’ve already increased female hiring within our company, but this is just the beginning.
People are naturally biased and act on subconscious, deeply ingrained values and behaviors, which can lead to structural and individual biases. Hence unconscious biases are one of the main reasons of unfairly discrimination or preferential treatment in the workplace. We want to ensure that our employees experience equal professional lives with the same chances, possibilities, and recognition. At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we’ve implemented unconscious biases training for our workforce to raise awareness, to realize when unconscious biases affect our behavior and ideally to discard those biases.
The commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and wellbeing drives our success and fosters an environment where everyone can grow. In this spirit, we encourage our people to contribute their skills and take responsibility for our ambitious goals.

An important part of encouraging diversity in the workforce is to ensure gender equality. At NTT DATA Business Solutions, we offer men and women alike the chance to find their personal place in our company, so that they can actively shape the digital future and realize their individual goals. We as a company provide equal career opportunities what means that we accompany our employees on their individual career path with flexibility as well as personal and professional support.
Information technology is a brilliant career path for everyone. Therefore, we are actively working on increasing our female ratio, which is currently at a global average of nearly 33 percent. As a company we want to drive the change by encouraging women to take on a position in IT and advocating for female leadership. Besides mentoring programs and diversity trainings, inspiring role models are important practices.

We believe that creating an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued and empowered is essential to foster our organization's culture and success.

Our aim is to support every employee in unlocking their full potential, both personally and professionally.

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you do not know. For us at NTT DATA Business Solutions, diversity is not limited to gender, origin, or sexual orientation. Since aspects such as religion, appearance, health, life situation or job are all part of your personality. Because diversity does not mean that we are all the same. It is about giving everyone the same opportunities – and seeing our differences as an advantage.
