Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: zeb’s Commitment to an Equitable Workplace

A diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) workplace is not only morally right but also a strategic necessity for driving innovation, enhancing customer experiences, and achieving sustainable business growth. Our DEI philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that collective strength can overcome individual weaknesses, creating value for all stakeholders—our people, our customers, and the planet.

Intentionally Diverse, Globally Inclusive

zeb prides itself on being intentionally diverse and globally inclusive. We understand that without intentional inclusion, unintentional exclusion can occur. Our commitment spans across various dimensions, including gender, generation, and diverse perspectives. With a workforce representing over 100 countries, we prioritize nurturing local talent while embracing a global outlook.

Celebrating Differences

At our organization, we celebrate the uniqueness of every individual, fostering an inclusive and empowering environment. Our policies support all employees, with specific initiatives for women and other underrepresented groups. Diversity of thought is central to our strategy, enabling deep empathy with our customers, people, and society, leading to exceptional solutions.

Focused Hiring and Inclusive Development

Our proactive hiring practices include mandates for equal hiring across campuses and lateral hiring of women. Programs like the RESTART initiative support women returning from career breaks, while the Women Leadership Program (WLP) and Female Achievers in the Making offer comprehensive learning and development opportunities. These efforts are crucial in retaining and nurturing diverse talent within our organization.

These events foster cultural awareness and celebrate the diverse backgrounds and contributions of our workforce.

Programs are aimed at developing high-potential talent to prepare individuals for leadership roles, contributing to organizational success.
