Colgate-Palmolive India Embraces Inclusion with New WIN Policy

Colgate-Palmolive India, a leading oral care brand, is making strides towards a more inclusive workplace. Their recently launched Workplace Inclusivity Network (WIN) policy emphasises their commitment to fostering a supportive environment for employees with disabilities (PwD).

The WIN policy ensures every member of the Colgate-Palmolive India family has the resources to thrive. Here are some key highlights:

• Assistive Technology Support: Employees can receive reimbursements for essential assistive devices, enhancing their productivity. Reimbursement is based on recommendations from specialists.
• Extended Medical Coverage: For employees with children with disabilities, their dependents’ coverage under the family floater health insurance continues regardless of age.
• Additional Care Leave: Employees with disabilities can take additional leave beyond their regular leave entitlement to recover from illness or medical needs.

This initiative reflects Colgate-Palmolive India’s core value of “Caring.” By providing these benefits, they empower employees with disabilities and create a workplace where everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to succeed.

The company is still dedicated to making the qualities of “caring,” “inclusive,” and “courageous” the top priorities because they are crucial components of its organisational culture and leadership style. Colgate-Palmolive organises theatre-based learning sessions in its Indian offices and manufacturing facilities to promote greater awareness of underrepresented communities. The workshop’s primary themes are inclusiveness for all, the importance of actionable allyship, and unconscious bias.

“At Colgate-Palmolive India, we strongly believe that an inclusive work environment is an essential enabler to get the best from our diverse workforce. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to ensuring that our policies, practices, and processes foster an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and given equal opportunities for success. Through our expanded Workplace Inclusivity Policy, especially for persons with disabilities, we are taking steps to provide the necessary resources and support that will enable them to thrive in their professional journey”. said Balaji Sreenivasan, Executive Vice-President of Human Resources
