POWER OF ONE

POWERED BY HCL EMPLOYEES 07

Power of One is HCL Foundation’s unique and powerful flagship programme that aims to create a
platform for HCL employees to come forward, volunteer for social causes and contribute towards
the process of nation building. The programme is strongly footed on the belief that every small
contribution by each employee can go a long way in making a significant impact in the society. It
is the contribution by each individual at HCL that powers “Power of 1”.
Broadly, there are two primary ways in which an HCLite can become part of the Power of One
initiative

PAYROLL GIVING

Employees can choose to contribute a small amount of Re.1 per day towards the social initiatives
of HCL Foundation. In the US and UK, this a bi-monthly contribution of One Dollar and One Pound
respectively. In keeping with the spirit of volunteerism that guides all Power of One activities, the
contributions are also voluntary in nature. Employees are constantly updated about the impact of
their contributions through mailers and campaigns and to encourage them to become a part of
the voluntary Power of One (Po1) payroll giving program. At present, close to 38,000 HCLites in
India are contributing Re. 1 daily under this program.
