OUR POLICY OF INCLUSION

020

We believe in and promote equal opportunity for people of all abilities and strive to nurture diversity of workforce, across business verticals and group companies. In keeping with this belief, we have taken on board interns from Pratibandhi Kalyan Kendra and from the Silence Training Institute. Despite the fact that some of them were acutely hearing impaired, we were able to integrate them into The Paul Foundation and Apeejay Surrendra Management Services Private Limited.


In 2011, The Park New Delhi, extended employment opportunities to several members of the Noida Deaf Society and hired them as trainees. Our success stories from this initiative were Jamaluddin, who worked in the Laundry department, Ranjeet Kumar, who worked in the Bakery and Dheeraj Prasad who is in Kitchen Stewarding and who continues to work with us till date. Another one of our star performers is Malini Chib. Though afflicted with cerebral palsy and wheelchair-bound, the employment opportunity with the Oxford Bookstore, Mumbai, has given Malini the loved and respect of every book lover who visits the Mumbai bookstore and she is also the most popular and successful Event Manager in the Communications team.
