Procter & Gamble supports young women in their career development

P&G, a leader in the FMCG industry, actively supports women in developing careers in the technology and IT sectors. One of the activities of the concern is the Future Female Leader initiative. The program, implemented in Poland in the largest Gillette machine factory and the second largest IT center, not only provides students of technical faculties with a significant dose of knowledge but also allows them to gather first experiences useful in planning a career in these areas, all under the supervision of the best managers and company experts.

For years, P&G has been striving to build a world free from prejudices and stereotypical thinking, in which everyone has the right to vote and equal opportunities. Gender equality in the labor market significantly affects the development of business and allows an interdisciplinary way to better respond to the dynamically changing consumer expectations. Creating diverse teams allows you to create innovative solutions that improve systems and production or technological processes.

"The pursuit of diversity, including gender equality, is dictated not only by our commitment to society but also embedded in our business strategy. Currently, out of more than 95,000 P&G employees, 45 percent are women. Thanks to a variety of employees, we can better understand our customers’ needs and therefore better to answer them. We want to be as diverse as our consumers," says Emilia Burzyńska, CIO P&G in Central Europe, for many years involved as a mentor in the company's programs aimed at future IT managers.
