This International Women’s Day, we celebrated the achievements of our women with a renewed commitment to work together towards a more equitable and inclusive workplace. On this occasion, colleagues across our 9 plants and offices took the opportunity to thank all the women who work with us for their hard work, dedication and contributions to the society.
In his address, BU President Parmod Sagar said, "In our regional BU of India, West Asia and Africa we increased our women employee count from 34 to 91 in last one year. That is great work by all of you and speaks for the commitment you have shown towards making us a more diverse organization. We now have some very strategic functions within the region like Finance, Internal Audit Risk & Compliance, Quotations, Commercial being led by highly efficient women leaders. We in fact now have an all-women department – our Regional Quotations team."
RHI Magnesita India Women Leaders shared their thoughts on the company LinkedIn page on their respective leadership attributes and their individual approaches in fostering a culture of inclusivity and building an empowered team.
Celebrations were held in our plants and offices through the week with arrangement of special lunch and gifts for our women colleagues.
"One year back, we made a commitment of hiring at least 33% new women employees in the region. This means, minimum of one-third of all the open positions in each department / function needs to be filled by women hires. This has yielded result as we almost tripled our women employee strength in last one year. We now have some very strategic functions within the region like Finance, Internal Audit Risk & Compliance, Quotations, Commercial being led by highly efficient women leaders. We in fact now have an all-women department – our Regional Quotations team. We renew that commitment and continue to work towards that." - the BU President further added.
