At Group Legrand India, DEI is not just a buzzword – it’s a lived commitment. We are proud to be a Gender Equality European & International Standard (GEEIS) certified organization, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We are also striving to be a true Equal Opportunity employer, ensuring fairness and inclusivity in everything we do.
Our efforts extend not only within our company but also to our suppliers, external stakeholders, and academic partners. Through our CSR initiatives, we go beyond the workplace by offering scholarships to students, training programs for the transgender community, and limb distribution initiatives for persons with disabilities.
Our commitment to building an inclusive workplace is anchored on five diversity pillars:
Gender Diversity
Through the Ellegrand (ERG), progressive policies, and celebrations such as International Women’s Day, we strive to create a culture where women can thrive. Our Winning Duo Mentorship Program has enabled many women to access guidance and networks that accelerate growth. Alongside this, our enhanced maternity benefits, crèche facilities, and gender-neutral leave policy reflect our belief that caregiving and career growth must go hand in hand.
LGBTQIA+ Inclusion
The Legrand Rainbow India Chapter (ERG) leads our efforts in sensitisation, dialogue, and inclusion. More importantly, our policies reinforce this commitment — from insurance coverage for same-sex and live-in partners to gender affirmation therapy, we ensure that colleagues feel supported not just through words but through benefits that truly matter. Our gender-neutral leave policy further reflects that inclusivity must be embedded in everyday life. In addition, our gender-neutral dress code allows employees to express themselves freely while ensuring a safe and respectful workplace.
We also extend our efforts externally, engaging with communities to support and uplift individuals from the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
Persons with Disabilities (PwD)
Accessibility is at the heart of inclusion. Our accessibility audits and infrastructure improvements ensure barrier-free workplaces, while sensitisation sessions help build empathy across teams. Policies such as insurance coverage for assistive instruments and OPD benefits ensure that persons with disabilities have the tools and support they need to succeed.
Intergenerational Diversity
We believe innovation happens when experience meets new ideas. That’s why we actively hire young talent and build bridges across generations, enabling collaboration where the energy of youth blends with the wisdom of experience. This intergenerational exchange makes us stronger as one team.
Diversity of Origin & Background
We celebrate the rich mix of social, cultural, and ethno-racial diversity that makes our teams unique. For us, belonging means creating a space where every voice matters, regardless of where it comes from.
Wellbeing for All
At Legrand India, wellbeing is seen in its fullest sense — physical, mental, emotional, financial, and social. Our Employee Wellness Assistance Program (EWAP) provides employees, and their families access to experts who can support them across mental health, physical health, financial planning, and legal services. We also conduct regular wellbeing sessions to ensure our people feel cared for and supported at every stage of life.
And because inclusion is not only about representation but also about flexibility, our Sabbatical Leave program, along with flexi work and hybrid work options, empowers employees to balance personal and professional priorities without compromising on growth.
