Quick Facts HCL Technologies is a leading global IT services company with over $2 billion revenues. In February 2005, Vineet Nayar, CEO, HCL Technologies announced a radical new philosophy, “Employee First, Customer Second” (EFCS).

Hence it is important to empower employees so that they deliver more value to the customers. When an employee is delighted, he will delight the customer. This gave birth to a path breaking philosophy called : 'Employee First, Customer Second‘, termed by Fortune as "The most modern management idea".

It is open for everyone to see, and that is enough to encourage changes in behavior.
