How to appreciate diversity and foster inclusiveness at workplace
It's the responsibility of every institution to genuinely drive inclusion, create policies, processes and an overall environment uniquely suited to the diverse workforce in India
As part of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, Tata Steel Mining Limited ( TSML ) , launched a special apprenticeship program for women in its Odisha operations.
The initiative, which aims to empower women by providing them with employment opportunities in non-traditional sectors, was inaugurated at the company’s Sukinda Chromite Mine campus in Jaipur district.
