Procter & Gamble leverages cultural diversity
Procter & Gamble employees in Toronto celebrated their diversity yesterday with jerk pork, samosas, Romanian meatballs and Fruit To Go from the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgendered employees booth. These 800 employees represent more than 40 different countries and speak at least 30 different languages.
While it might seem like nothing more than just a feel-good event for the employees, there was a bottom-line purpose to the event.
For one, employees are more productive in an environment that respects and accepts their differences.
Also, by “leveraging that diversity,” Procter & Gamble believes they can sell more of their products.
