A Corporate Commitment to Inclusion
Ruchika Varma, chief marketing, customer and impact officer, Future Generali India Insurance, said, “At Future Generali India Insurance, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is ingrained in our DNA, and we stand firmly aligned with this ethos not just as an inclusive employer and an inclusive insurer but also as an inclusive corporate citizen. Everyone deserves a safe and supportive environment where they can be their authentic selves, free from judgment and discrimination. Our #WelcomeHome campaign, which features real life LGBTQIA+ talents, aims to highlight this fundamental need. By showcasing these stories and experiences, we strike the right chords to foster broader societal acceptance, encouraging a more inclusive and understanding community for all.”
“In addition to facing significant barriers in getting access to comprehensive care, the community also often faces discrimination at the workplace. Instead of mere tokenism, we at FGII, have walked the talk and have taken several concrete steps that includes providing family floater health insurance cover to live-in partners including the LGBT community across all our health indemnity insurance products, introducing LGBTQIA+ friendly employee policies, and equipping our workplace with inclusive infrastructure like gender-neutral washrooms to welcome people from the community into the FGII family. By fostering a culture of acceptance via frequent conversations and events round the year, we have extended the scope of PRIDE celebrations beyond just a day or month,” Varma added.
