Godrej Capital, the financial services arm of Godrej Industries Group, has started a month-long initiative called ‘Pride Capital’ to recruit members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
As part of the ‘Pride Capital’ event, the company, in partnership with the Tweet Foundation, a non-profit supporting transgender individuals, conducted an inclusive career fair.
With over 240 profile screenings and hiring from the pool of people of the LGBTQIA+ community, both organisations collectively conducted interview sessions and provided candidates with insights into roles and the work culture at the company, Godrej Capital said in a statement.
Bhavya Misra, CHRO, Godrej Capital said, “’Pride Capital’ is our commitment to elevate LGBTQIA+ inclusion in our workforce, and provide them with a safe and supportive environment to grow to their potential.”
Maya Awasthi, co-founder, Tweet India Foundation said, “Today we need to talk about gender equity rather than equality. I am thankful that Godrej Capital’s recruitment drive is based on equity which gives equal job opportunities irrespective of sexual orientation and gender identity. They also have gender-neutral policies and benefits which create a safe and non-judgmental working environment for diverse employees.”
