Worli head office Patna branch office Being a modern employer Your company has always lived up to its commitment of being a modern employer with a sharp focus on inclusion and diversity, health and wellbeing and continuous learning and development. Despite the pandemic-induced disruptions, measures on safety, health and employee development continued to receive attention and priority. Be you | Inclusion and Diversity Our commitment to inclusion and diversity was further affirmed as we were recognised among the 100 Best Companies for Women by Working Mothers and AVTAR, Best Workplaces for Women by Great Places to Work, and were conferred the Advancement of Women Award by Community Business. We were also named among the top employers in India Workplace Equality Index (IWEI), India’s first comprehensive index for measuring LGBT+ inclusion and equality. We also won the Fair Business Practices Award (2019-20) at the 32nd Council for Fair Business Practices (CFBP) at the Jamnalal Bajaj Awards. Contributing to these recognitions were our initiatives on Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI), Women Leadership Action Programme (WeLeAP) and employee resource groups. These resource groups included the Disability Confidence Network (DCN) and Spectrum for promoting inclusion and equality among the LGBT+ community at the workplace. Our state-of-the-art Head Office at Worli, Mumbai, and our recently inaugurated branch office at Patna are testament to our role of being a Modern Employer. These offices are designed as contemporary workplaces for our colleagues to foster an environment where we can work with agility and flexibility. Feel good | Wellness and Wellbeing Through our Partnership for Prevention (P4P) programme, we continued providing preventive healthcare services to our colleagues. We added two vaccines in the Flu category as a part of the overall offering. In view of the impact of COVID-19 on the overall health and wellbeing of our colleagues and their close family members, we arranged webinars with experts from across fields to make them understand the benefits of physical health, mental and emotional resilience, wellbeing and good nutrition. As a part of our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), our colleagues and their families were provided round-the-clock access to these services. Keep growing | Learning & Development Even during a pandemic year, commercial development programmes were prioritised for frontline sales colleagues and first line sales leaders to inculcate the right skills in the current context. Accordingly, the GSK Learning Warriors League was introduced for the field force, while we also continued to invest in the Future Leaders Programme, Commercial Leadership Programme and the Pharma Supply Chain Leadership Programme. 19 Annual Report 2020-21
