Some of the Best People Practices and Initiatives at Cisco Systems India Private Limited include -


Men for Inclusion (MFI) MFI’s fundamental philosophy is to break the traditional stereotype of not including men in inclusion and collaboration effort. MFI Bangalore Chapter was launched in India this year and will focus on the underrepresented groups, like gender, disability, etc., in Cisco. MFI Strives to bring everyone, including men who have previously not been part of the dialogues of inclusion and collaboration, into the conversation. The mission is to showcase how leaders can use their power and influence to shape their culture of diversity and drive inclusiveness for all under-represented groups in Cisco. MFI aims to harness the creative power of diverse perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and personalities to fuel innovation and growth for the company. The MFI India chapter is also working towards an Inclusion Workshop- “Know Your Bias”. They are currently running a drive to identify facilitators who will champion the cause of promoting the culture of inclusion through intentional, positive and conscious efforts. These facilitators will also look to start meaningful conversations around diversity and inclusion in their workplace and have tools they can implement immediately to begin making a real difference.


Ideathon: To harness the growing STEM talent at the right time in the fast-growing digital economy by attracting the brightest minds, Ideathon 2020 was conducted to tap talent from across the nation. By transforming the traditional campus-oriented hiring; Cisco Ideathon fuelled a capability-based selection process to offer opportunities to the best and brightest talents across the country beyond the conventional top-tiered colleges. Ideathon truly demonstrated Cisco's positive impact on learning and a brighter future for all. It is a testimony that between hopes, aspirations, dreams, and an outstanding career, there is a bridge – Cisco Ideathon, the bridge to possible.
