GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group Company, today announced it has achieved monumental recognition at the 2026 Inspiring Workplaces Awards Europe, ranking #1 for the Enterprise Organization category and #6 in the overall Top 30 Inspiring Workplaces across the continent. In addition to these top-tier corporate rankings, GlobalLogic received the prestigious Best-in-Class Special Recognition for Inspiring Wellbeing for its Moving Challenge program.
While this recognition specifically honors GlobalLogic’s achievements in Europe, it serves as a direct reflection of a unified, global approach to building and empowering our employee community worldwide.
GlobalLogic’s recognition is demonstrated and supported by various strategic corporate programs aligned with the award’s core pillars:
- Continuous Learning: Driven by the AI-powered GLX (GlobalLogic Learning Experience) platform, which delivered over 1 million learning hours globally.
- Inspirational Leadership: Championed by the Mid-Managers and Women Influencer Programs, establishing clear, transparent career development pathways.
- Inclusion & Belonging: Supported by pan-European partnerships (e.g., Women in Tech Summit, Pink Programming) and validated by an EcoVadis Silver rating, placing the company in the 92nd percentile globally for sustainability and human rights.
- Employee Voice: Maintained through active regional Ambassador networks and the annual Hitachi Insights Survey, which achieved a high 88% participation rate.
Central to this recognition is GlobalLogic’s flagship wellbeing program, the Moving Challenge. This six-month employee-driven initiative, born from grassroots employee feedback, gamifies physical activity and environmental sustainability. In its latest edition, over 1,000 European employees across eight countries logged more than 856,000 kilometers, which actively sustained high engagement, prevented 174 tons of CO2 emissions, and unlocked $23,000 in corporate social responsibility (CSR) donations to health and educational causes in Romania and Slovakia. Building on this success, the 2026 edition of Moving Challenge has expanded from 8 to 22 countries to drive an even greater global impact.
“Culture has to be earned continuously, through consistent choices. This recognition in Europe is validation that our teams aren’t just talking about being PeopleFirst, they’re living it. I’m proud of the award, but more proud of what it represents: a team that takes learning seriously, looks out for each other, and finds ways to give back. The Moving Challenge is a perfect example of who we are – it wasn’t born in a boardroom, it came from our people. That’s the kind of organization I want us to be: one where trust is built through action, wellbeing is taken seriously, and every person feels like they belong to something worth showing up for.”
– Vikas Kaul Chief People Officer, GlobalLogic
