Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was chosen by CEMEX, a global building materials company, to accelerate its digital transformation and improve the employee experience for its more than 40,000 people worldwide.

CEMEX selected TCS to help drive its global ‘Working Smarter initiative that aims to adapt to evolving market needs, enhance operational resilience, and improve business agility. TCS will work closely with the Monterrey, Mexico-based company for the next seven years to achieve this vision with a digitally-enabled smart workplace.

Towards close of trade on Wednesday, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd was trading at Rs3,548.05 per piece down by Rs6.5 or 0.18% from its previous closing of Rs3,554.55 per piece on the BSE.

At the heart of the transformation is TCS Cognix, an AI driven human-machine collaboration suite that will integrate systems to accelerate the digital journey and help transform workforce experience. The first phase of this program will focus on streamlining, standardizing, and digitizing HR processes worldwide by the end of 2022, with a goal to create a 360-degree view of the employee experience. Projects include an omnichannel digital platform; personalized and consistent employed experience; implementation of a flexible and scalable HR model; and a standard global process for all CEMEX businesses.

The initiative will enable CEMEX to reduce time to market, improve processing times, improve productivity, enhance the experience of its global stakeholders, and improve the employee net promoter score. Further it is expected to reduce recruitment turnaround time and increase satisfaction among job candidates, empower employees, and drive a culture of diversity and inclusion.
