Our commitment to associate wellbeing
Designed with flexibility in mind to meet the diverse needs of each associate, our global Be Well program provides the physical, mental and financial support needed to navigate life and work.
We believe holistic wellbeing and a supportive culture are foundational to success, so we encourage our associates and people managers to remain self-aware, make wellbeing a priority and actively engage with the resources and support available to them. Here are a few highlights of our program:
Physical wellbeing
Access to benefits and programs that support their physical health. Depending on local markets, this may include health policies, team physical activity challenges and in-person and virtual classes such as yoga and exercise.
Mental wellbeing
Access to mental health support, including clinical counseling, mindfulness sessions and our Mental Health Allyship Program. These resources are designed to support a culture of mental health and promote psychological safety.
Financial wellbeing
Resources to enhance financial wellbeing depending on local standards may include retirement plans, discounts programs, banking relationships and education related to estate planning, retirement, education, budgeting and investing.
Life and work
We empower our associates to make time for themselves and the things that matter outside of work–through paid time off, leave, flexible work and more.
The moment I joined Cognizant, I felt like I belonged. I was heard and empowered to challenge ideas—and I still am to this day.
I’m supported by motivational leaders who empower me to grow in my career through learning programs, industry conferences and internal job moves. I’m proud of the career progression I’m making here.
I love the feeling of building high performing teams, confronting new challenges and working together to solve them. And at Cognizant, I get to do just that—every day.
From the time I joined Cognizant, I felt empowered to bring my authentic self to work every day and have had exceptional allies by my side.
Culture and values
We look to build an environment where people are as driven and entrepreneurial as they are caring and supportive to each other. Because our company is only as strong as our people—and their success is ours, too.
Diversity and inclusion
We want our associates to thrive and feel like they belong here. Belonging not only allows our associates to do great work for our clients and each other, it also contributes to a meaningful work experience. When you spend a significant amount of your day at work, that matters.
Learning and development
Technology is an industry that never stops moving. That’s why learning is a core aspect of our associates’ journey at Cognizant. We offer a range of opportunities to keep their skills current, grow their careers and work on impactful projects.
Global citizenship
In addition to having our own responsibilities and commitments, we're in the unique position to influence and accelerate how the world's leading companies fulfill theirs. Our people use their talents and passion to make a lasting impact on their local communities and global society.
