Srinivas P.M. Head – Human Resources, P&G India said, “Understanding and reflecting the diversity of our consumers begins at home – at our workplace, where our people help us gain deeper insights to provide superior brand experiences for everyone.”
“In line with this, we have continued to foster an organization where equality and inclusion are at the cornerstone of our culture, and every employee can bring their authentic selves to work. This is further strengthened by several dedicated interventions and workplace policies which are catered to meet the varied life stage needs of our diverse employees”, Srinivas P.M. added.
“This year, with the second edition of the roadshow we have endeavoured to empower our employees to become vocal allies of true inclusion. As our employees return to their communities, they become ambassadors for inclusion, carrying the momentum forward and inspiring positive change beyond P&G”, he further added.
Throughout its journey, the P&G Hyderabad site has emerged as a trailblazer in promoting inclusivity. P&G India took pioneering steps by ensuring the presence of female Technicians in all manufacturing shifts, including the night shift.
This achievement was made possible through collaborative efforts with the government, securing the required approvals and opening up growth opportunities for women in the technician workforce.
The plant has continued to enable a trusting, open, and inclusive culture at the workplace where everyone is valued, and has equal access to opportunities to thrive.
