The leadership team participated in an interactive town hall session attended by 1,200 associates, where they discussed the company’s strategic initiatives and reiterated their commitment to advancing talent in Sri Lanka. 

In her first visit to Sri Lanka as Virtusa Chief People Officer, Lori Mullane emphasised the company’s focus on attracting, developing, and retaining world-class talent.

This initiative has significantly enhanced employee satisfaction and engagement while driving Virtusa’s diversity and inclusion (D&I) objectives,” Mullane explained.

As the global workplace evolves, Mullane noted that Virtusa’s commitment to skill development will play a pivotal role in shaping future talent strategies. “Our HR transformation, combined with ongoing investments in skill development, allow us to stay ahead of the curve in anticipating and responding to the dynamic needs of the talent market, both in Sri Lanka and globally,” she added.

Virtusa has long recognised the importance of equipping its workforce with the skills required to meet the rapidly changing demands of the global technology landscape. The company has implemented continuous learning and development initiatives designed to upskill and reskill its workforce, rallying behind its Engineering First mindset and approach to delivering world-class solutions. These efforts aim to build a robust internal talent marketplace, with a pipeline of highly skilled professionals capable of addressing the company’s evolving business requirements.
