Rationale behind TCS-Maitree

• Bring together employees in an informal but
  meaningful environment
• Family units are made aware of the companys
  values and organizational issues thus enhancing
  the synergy with the corporate
• The activities are designed to cater to various
  facets of an individuals personality -enhancing
  self worth.

Rationale for Maitree

• Scattered international workforce
• Building bridges between corporate,employees,
  their families and the community
• High energy levels of the young workforce need
  meaningful outlets
• Identification and sense of belonging needs to be
  built with the Company
• Employee relocation high. Maitree seeks to reach
  out to its employees and their families to add
  value to the relocation process
• Spouses often give up employment. Involvement in
  Maitree/TCS would be a creative and learning
  outlet.

12
Special focus on women

• Women employees encouraged-Couple of Qs, Sports
• A lot of TCS spouses do not take up formal
  employment due to frequent relocation. They
  should be given a platform for realizing their
  potential
• Most of them have talents that can be very useful
  for the corporate
• Spouses,parents,children need to understand the
  work environment in the corporate
• It is also important that TCS recognizes the
  familys contribution and support
