These include its AI-powered dashboards and leaderboards, which encourage team member engagement, and Engineering IQ, a new talent framework that benchmarks existing skill levels and provides a roadmap for advancement to accelerate career progression. In addition, Virtusa offers surveys that promote team members to share feedback within the company as well as mentorship opportunities, which nurture career growth through programs focused on wellness, engagement, and learning.
