Pride month is dedicated to elevating LGBTQIA+ voices, celebrating their culture, and advocating for their rights. This year, Amazon India honours its dedication to diversity and inclusion, extending to its workers, sellers, partners, customers, and many other supporters. The firm has devised a limited-edition tape that will seal the Amazon brown box delivering your delivery to your home, demonstrating its dedication to a gender-neutral culture. In June, Amazon boxes shipped from fulfilment centres in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru will include a unique tape with an 11-colour Pride flag, highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community’s variety and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender.
Amazon India has created an inclusive workplace with employees from the LGBTQAI+ community in a variety of roles, including product managers, art directors, fulfilment centre pack associates, HR managers, and delivery colleagues. To meet the requirements of this community, the firm has established a Same-Gender Spouse Coverage Program, which allows employees to enrol their same-gender partner in their health insurance plan. Employees can also choose to have gender reassignment surgery or enrol in infertility treatment, both of which are covered by their health insurance. Through its Employee Assistance Program, the corporation also provides tools and access to counsellors to LGBTQIA+ employees.
The programme offers tools, counselling, support, and direction if they choose to be open about their sexuality with their family, friends, or coworkers. Additionally, all managers are taught inclusive leadership. A programme was developed to help managers deliberately lead teams with different personnel in order to establish an inclusive workplace.
Her ideas on the subject Swati Rustagi, Amazon’s Director of DE&I, International Markets, WW Consumer, says: “We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community both within and outside of Amazon, and we’re always looking for new ways to expand our influence by giving various groups of people opportunity. Glamazon is one of Amazon’s numerous affinity groups dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community. It helps bring LGBTQIA+ workers, associates, and supporters together to discuss and share their experiences worldwide. We are delighted to say that Amazon now has over 200 Glamazon chapters worldwide. Our work to make Amazon and our communities more inclusive and inviting isn’t over in the fight for equality.”
