Build From Within Benefits at P&G Flexible Work Arrangement  

Diversity

There are more than six billion people on the planet. We serve more than three billion of them today with P&G brands and products and services. The people we serve, and those we have yet to serve, are unique individuals. The better we understand them, the better equipped we will be able to create the products and brands that meet their needs.

Diversity & Inclusion is deeply rooted in our company’s Purpose, Values & Principles. It is who we are, and aspire to be, as a company. Through our commitment, P&G brings together individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and thinking styles providing remarkably different talents, perspectives, life and career experiences. That’s why, in our increasingly interconnected world, it is only appropriate that we celebrate everyone’s uniqueness, every day.  The mission of Diversity & Inclusion at P&G is:

Everyone Valued, Everyone Included, Everyone Perforiming at Their Peak

We define global diversity broadly and focus on building and celebrating:
Gender, Culture, Ethnicity, Geography, Experiences, Skills, Styles

For many years, P&G has been recognised across the world as one of the Best Places to Work, and for improving lives in the communities where we operate. This recognition is reflected in many publications:

Some examples for gender diversity in Management Positions at P&G:

Name: Joanna Fowler
Position: Section Manager Information and Decision Solutions
Country: UK
Years at P&G: 10 years

"I‘ve worked for P&G in Information Decision Solutions since 1999, based mostly from the UK.
During my time working at P&G I’ve had several different roles. These have ranged from, equipping R&D to innovate faster through to, driving our business in developing markets using Information Technology services.
I have really enjoyed the breadth of roles and the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from around the world. My current team is truly global, with members from China to North America.
We take advantage of flexible work arrangements, usually working from home for one day each week. This means that I can work regularly with Sandy in China, without having to get up earlier!

I’ve always found P&G to be very considerate of individuals’ needs.  A couple of years ago, I was able to take 3 months sabbatical to travel around New Zealand, and spend time with my family members that had moved there to live.  It was a great experience, and when I was done, I came back to work fresh and ready for a new challenge."
