Future Generali India Insurance has announced an ambitious plan to enhance workforce diversity by increasing the employment of Persons with Disabilities (PwD) to account for 1% of its 4,000-strong workforce by December 2024.
The company, known for its progressive stance, was a pioneer in expanding the definition of family in its health products to include LGBTQIA+ community members. FGII is further bolstering its commitment to diversity by aiming to onboard more individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, according to a recent statement.
At the Pride Month 2024 celebrations at the Royal Opera House, MD and CEO Anup Rau highlighted that PwD currently make up around 0.6-0.7% of their workforce, with expectations to increase this number substantially by year-end. "Inclusion at FGII goes beyond tolerance; it's about celebrating the unique skills that diversity brings," Rau noted.
