As a leading global business that employs over 17,000 people worldwide, LDC strives to create a diverse and inclusive workplace wherever we operate, guided by our Code of Conduct, which condemns any discrimination based on gender, race, origin, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation or beliefs.

Inclusive Recruitment

As of 2022, all LDC geographies have now formally adopted our inclusive recruitment standard, to ensure we take an inclusive and competency-based approach in each recruitment process, with a fair and transparent candidate experience that encourages diverse profiles to apply for job vacancies across LDC’s organization.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Training

In 2022, our e-learning module on How to Recognize and Address Unconscious Biases was delivered to all new employees, as part of the mandatory training requirements.

Supplementary trainings and workshops for HR teams, leaders and employees were also organized in various geographies across the Group and covering a range of DE&I topics, including understanding unconscious bias, fostering DE&I in HR and business processes, gender equality, disability, ethnicity, sexual diversity and more.

Workplace Wellbeing

Recognizing the importance of mental and physical wellbeing for employees to feel supported, included and engaged, and attain their full potential, in 2022 we continued to roll out a wide range of initiatives and programs for the benefit of our teams in different offices around the world.

Examples of these include graduate mentoring programs, childcare support for employees with small children and amenities for new mothers returning to work (such as lactation rooms), free yoga and meditation classes, psychological counseling programs, ‘trusted person’ or ‘buddy’ schemes enabling employees to raise unethical behaviors, additional benefits such as time off for community work and access to sport facilities, sign language courses, events and sharing sessions to experience different cultures, and more.
