Welcoming Diversity: LGBTQ+ Community Can Now Declare Their Partners And Avail All Benefits

Under the new policy, the LGBTQ+ employees and their partners will be able to avail benefits like health check-ups, medical benefits, adoption leave, new-born parent leave, child care leave and inclusion in the unique Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), under which employees get a financial assistance for gender reassignment surgery and 30 days of leave.

To top it all, the LGBTQ+ partners would be called for all corporate events where only spouses of the opposite gender were included earlier. The move from Tata Steel would definitely help in gender sensitizing within the organization and would encourage other corporates to be more inclusive in the workplace. Collective efforts from the corporates would ultimately result in the LGBTQ+ community getting more opportunities in diverse roles and use their expertise to steer the ship for these companies towards development.
