Procter & Gamble Employee Handbook: Cultural Sensitivity and Gaming Guidelines for India
Introduction
P&G is committed to fostering a globally inclusive and culturally respectful workplace. In India, where diverse traditions, languages, and social norms coexist, this handbook provides guidelines to ensure all employees engage in meaningful team-building activities, including gaming, while respecting local customs and company policies.
1. Cultural Sensitivity in Gaming Activities
Respect Local Traditions:
Avoid games or competitions that may inadvertently disrespect religious practices, festivals (e.g., Diwali, Holi), or regional customs. For example, games involving alcohol or symbols tied to specific communities should be avoided.
Language and Representation:
Use multilingual content and ensure characters in games reflect India’s multicultural fabric. Consult local teams to review cultural appropriateness.
Festive Celebrations:
Incorporate traditional games (e.g., Kho-Kho, Tambola) into team events during festivals to build connection and camaraderie.
2. Compliance and Ethical Gaming
Work-Life Balance:
Gaming activities must not interfere with core work hours unless explicitly approved by leadership. Remote employees should have equal participation opportunities.
Data Privacy:
Ensure all gaming platforms comply with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023). Avoid collecting sensitive employee data (e.g., religious beliefs, health info) through games.
Anti-Corruption:
Prohibited from using gaming as a medium for bribery, favoritism, or unethical recruitment practices.
3. Team-Building and Gaming Best Practices
Collaborative Goals:
Prioritize team-based games that align with P&G’s mission (e.g., sustainability challenges, innovation puzzles).
Accessibility:
Provide options for employees with disabilities (e.g., screen-reader-friendly apps, tactile games for visually impaired colleagues).
Feedback Mechanisms:
Post-event surveys to assess cultural inclusivity and employee comfort levels. Address concerns promptly.
4. Conflict Resolution and Reporting
Dispute Handling:
If a gaming activity causes offense or discomfort, report it to HR via the Global Ethics Hotline or local HRBP.
Examples of Prohibited Conduct:
Using games to stereotype Indian communities (e.g., rural/urban divides).
Discriminatory humor or content in e-games.
5. Local Partnerships
Collaborate with Indian cultural organizations or NGOs to design games that celebrate diversity (e.g., a “Zero Waste Challenge” inspired by local environmental initiatives).
6. Recognition and Rewards
Reward teams that excel in culturally sensitive gaming initiatives through P&G’s Global Inclusion & Diversity Awards.
Conclusion
At P&G, gaming is a tool to unite employees while honoring India’s rich cultural heritage. By adhering to this handbook, we ensure every interaction strengthens trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.
