March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD) – a global day celebrating the cultural, social, economic, and political achievements of women. The purpose of IWD is to uphold those achievements, recognize challenges, and focus greater attention on women’s rights and gender equality.
International Women’s Day 2022 is all about breaking bias, because whether deliberate or unconscious, those biases make it difficult for women to move ahead. Therefore, NTT DATA Business Solutions became part of the #BreakTheBias movement. Together with NTT DATA, we’re crossing our arms to show our commitment: Calling out biases, fighting against stereotypes, accelerating equality, and rejecting discrimination.
We believe that collectively we can all #BreakTheBias – on International Women’s Day and beyond!
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.

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.
