Schindler India on gender equality for a sustainable tomorrow

Innovation and Creativity Lies in Diversity

People coming from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, geographies, and personality types bring a wide range of experiences and their perspectives to look at a particular solution that can help generate new ideas & unique practices at the workplace.

A power-packed, diverse team and their ideas can be a critical fuel to any organization’s innovation strategy. In a global customer-facing company like Schindler, it’s very critical to have a diverse set of people to lead products, markets, and people solutions across geographies and endless customer-specific requirements.

Given our diverse customer profile, diverse talent will only help create solutions catering to all.

Diversity and Inclusive Leadership at Schindler

Inclusive Leadership talent is one of the most critical pillars of Talent and Development strategy at Schindler. We focus on enabling this through our hiring and development initiatives and measure the same in our talent management metrics. This becomes essential, as we are not just looking at our current business needs, but laying the foundation for a business that’s fit for the future.

As an organization that’s constantly innovating with an aim to transform the way we operate, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion alone can help us unleash the potential of talent segments from diverse backgrounds.

In the past, we only hired from the Elevator and Escalator industry. Now, a shift of hiring to explore other industries such as the Armed Forces across levels and functions brought in new thought leadership, welcomed new ideas, new ways of working, and enabled us to expand our horizons.

This helped us not only to compete with just our industry, but also look at the real market and raise our benchmark of performance.
