🌍✨ A Milestone in DEI Efforts at PepsiCo ✨🌍
In a world where the conversation around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is more critical than ever, it's inspiring to see global giants like PepsiCo leading the way with actionable, data-driven strategies.
Their Global Self-ID Campaign is a testament to what visionary leadership and a data-driven approach can achieve in fostering an inclusive workplace culture.
With 310,000 employees across more than 200 countries, PepsiCo's commitment to DEI is not just about numbers; it's about creating a space where everyone can thrive. Achieving gender parity at 44% and aiming for 50% by 2025, PepsiCo's strategy is deeply embedded within its culture, as highlighted by Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta.
🏳️🌈 The Global Self-ID Campaign, specially designed for employees with disabilities, LGBTQ+, and veterans, has been a game-changer. Recognized by the World Economic Forum as a DEI Lighthouse for 2024, this initiative showcases the power of understanding the workforce's makeup to tailor more relevant and inclusive programs.
By mobilizing employees to self-identify, PepsiCo is not just gathering data; they're making strides in LGBTQI+ inclusion, overcoming legal and stigma barriers. The results are telling: 12,475 employees across 33 countries have voluntarily self-identified, impacting pronoun usage and preferred names across the board.
This initiative underscores the importance of senior leadership buy-in and the role of local HR in driving meaningful change. PepsiCo's efforts are a significant example of mobilizing employees to advance DEI, and I believe there's much we can learn and apply from their approach.
