People-centric policies and initiatives help our employees to outperform. We are setting industry benchmarks for peoplepractices by embracing diversity, equity, and inclusivity. We are optimizing our own processes to bring in more women in the workforce and winning awards and recognitions for that.
Through targeted recruitment strategies, comprehensive training programs, and proactive engagement, we have cultivated a culture where every individual feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. Our dedication has not only enriched our internal dynamics but has also translated into tangible business success, driving innovation, enhancing customer relationships, and ultimately outperforming competitors.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
The notion that field sales jobs are primarily for men poses a significant challenge. It means there are fewer women in sales, making the gap between men and women even wider. For us, diversifying the workforce has emerged as a top priority to make Colgate more inclusive and innovative.
To solve this, we are bringing in more women through campus hiring and internship programs. We are committed to attracting top talent, ensuring each batch is at least 50% gender diverse without sacrificing quality. We are expanding recruitment to campuses with diverse student populations. Additionally, through lateral hiring, we are building a pipeline of candidates from varied backgrounds to enrich our team.
With concerted efforts, Field Sales diversity witnessed a notable uptick, climbing from 10% to 15% by the close of 2023. This achievement reflects our dedication to creating a more equitable environment.
Through ongoing interventions and initiatives, the aim is to continue leveling the playing field, ensuring that opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of background or identity.
