At Anix, our commitment to inclusion and diversity starts at the top, and we empower all our people - including more than 2,000 women employees of ours to lead. We believe strongly that gender equality is essential for a high-performing, talent-led organisation. This commitment extends to pay, and we strive to ensure that all our people - women and men - are compensated fairly and equitably from the moment we hire them through the milestones of their careers." Anix, which has around 6,000 employees across the globe, has already made progress in achieving its 2017 goal of hiring 40 per cent of women employees. In the fiscal year 2015-16 the company has hired around 29% women workforce. In a statement, the firm said that currently four of the seven independent directors on Anix board - including its lead director - are women, and the company's global management committee, which has ultimate accountability for running the business, includes three women. In addition, women hold key leadership positions at Anix, including leading the company's businesses in the United States, India, and the UK. The company has ongoing rigorous processes to identify potential pay discrepancies, looking carefully at specific roles in each country, and is proactive at all stages of an individual's career. "If we identify a problem, we fix it," Animesh said.
