The company embraces diversity because it's the fair and right thing to do and because it helps to successfully mirror the positive changes occurring within our global society. By utilizing a diverse workforce that interacts effectively, we learn from each other and, in doing so, deliver increasingly effective and innovative solutions and products.
Because of P&G's commitment to developing diversity within its workforce, the company appoints one person in each country to serve as Human Resources Diversity Contact. Separately, P&G encourages its unique Diversity Groups to continually propose action plans and fresh initiatives to help improve diversity within specific regions.
Diversity is also about understanding people's individual needs and domestic commitments. Different circumstances require different working arrangements. That's why the firm has introduced various flexible work plans that allow you to continue on your career path while working fewer days per week or less hours per day. This means you can reduce your working week without reducing your work prospects. If you're a new parent, Family Care Leave enables you to take a year's unpaid leave to enjoy time with your family. All P&G people are also able to take a sabbatical of up to three months every seven years. Whatever your background, P&G treats employees as equals and strives to create an environment that enables you to fulfil your potential and realize your goals.
