New P&G packaging center celebrates employee diversity

P&G FlexiCenter

"The FlexiCenter operation demonstrates P&G's commitment to Diversity & Inclusion showcasing the high level of Excellence at the Auburn Site," says site leader Felica Coney. "The FlexiCenter is an example of Business Collaborating with State Government and Private Agencies to deliver an incredible opportunity for an amazing group of people." 

The FlexiCenter is a strong affirmation of P&G's commitment to diversity, bringing new jobs and opportunities, leveraging a range of diversity in an inclusive environment where people with and without disabilities work side by side, earning the same pay, receiving the same benefits and held to the same productivity and workplace standards. According to the company, continuing to broaden P&G's workforce by employing people with physical and developmental challenges is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes good business sense and has benefits which will reverberate across the company and community.

As a company, P&G's Purpose is to touch and improve lives, and the belief is that this fundamentally begins at an employee level. This new pilot location truly highlights P&G's diversity and inclusion model that is deeply rooted in its DNA, bringing together individuals from different backgrounds, ethnicity, cultures, talents and a variety of abilities. It is the company's belief that diverse organizations are highly innovative.

P&G currently employs an estimated 7,000 individuals with various disabilities and expects a positive community impact from this new, innovative facility.
