For the fourth consecutive year, ZS has been named among the Best Companies for Women in India according to industrywide benchmarking by Avtar and Seramount. Now named an ”Exemplar of Inclusion,” ZS has also been placed in the Best Companies Hall of Fame for having been featured in the top 100 for five editions of the study’s run.
“ZS’s core values are rooted in inclusivity and equal opportunities,” says Neha Arur, senior director of human resources at ZS India. “We take pride in knowing the qualities that make ZS one of the best places to work are visible and intentional through the collective efforts of every ZSer.”
ZSers strive for excellence and share a passion to change lives. By fostering a trusting and supportive work environment, we empower our people to grow in their careers and use their abilities to create a positive impact. ZS offers unconscious bias training, allyship initiatives and ZSer-led inclusion and diversity groups to support ZSers in intentionally upholding a culture of belonging. Our vibrant network includes Women@ZS, Accessibility@ZS, Life and Family@ZS, HealthyMindZS and Pride@ZS.
We work to embed DEI initiatives throughout our organizational operations. Leaders from across ZS develop meaningful DEI strategies through our global DEI council, while ZS’s DEI Center of Expertise (DEI CoE) focuses on creating systemic and sustained impact that strengthens opportunities for current and future ZSers from within our HR team. ZS also supports specialized programs, like our Women in Tech Leadership Committee, which connects women through trainings, panel discussions and other firmwide events.
Education and leadership ventures, including our Path to Principal (P2P) program, empower women managers to successfully take on ZS leadership roles. Connection circles enable strong relationship building among ZSers with shared identities and experiences. ZS has also partnered with LeanIn.org, a nonprofit organization that supports women in achieving their career ambitions, to launch lean-in circles with research-backed programs aimed at creating an inclusive workplace.
Being at ZS means being heard and respected as part of a team dedicated to improving outcomes and experiences for all. We work hard to make sure our rewards and benefits structure supports this. These include benefits that consider the impact of preparing to have a child, returning from parental leave and reducing challenges related to family planning and work balance.
We take compensation very seriously and regularly audit our practices to ensure they are merit-based, competitive and fair. In our most recent external audit, we found no differences in pay based on gender across levels and regions at ZS. We also partner with various external auditing organizations to confirm our benefits and operational norms offer gender parity and expansive support for families, parents and various life stages experienced by women in the workforce.
ZS is proud to add this latest award with others that set us apart, including Great Place to Work certification in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Switzerland, U.K. and the U.S.; Built In Best Places to Work and Best Large Companies to Work; Handshake Early Talent Awards; and Human Rights Campaign Equality 100.
