Pranda promotes inclusivity and provide opportunities for people with disabilities. For over five decades, Pranda has been at the forefront of advocating for equality and equity in the workplace. Upholding the principle of “Pranda Keep Quality,” the organization not only prioritizes product excellence but also prioritizes the well-being and quality of life of all its employees, including those with disabilities.
The journey towards inclusivity began in 2006 when Pranda embarked on a significant effort to support the education and employment of the hearing impaired in the jewelry industry. Collaborating with various educational institutions and organizations, Pranda developed tailored teaching methods and curricula to empower hearing-impaired individuals to pursue careers in jewelry making and expand opportunities for people with disabilities in other professions beyond jewelry artisans.
Fast forward to 2023, Pranda’s commitment to inclusivity has exceeded expectations. The company’s employment of people with disabilities has surpassed legal requirements, with a ratio of 75:1 (non-disabled employees: disabled individuals), far exceeding the mandated ratio of 100:1. This milestone reflects Pranda’s dedication to creating a truly inclusive workplace where everyone has access to opportunities and equal rights.
“Pranda’s commitment to inclusivity goes beyond compliance; it’s about recognizing the unique talents of every individual and creating a truly equitable workplace where everyone can thrive.”
Within the Pranda family, employees with disabilities feel embraced and valued. The inclusive working environment fosters a sense of belonging and promotes teamwork, with colleagues, superiors, and executives alike embracing diversity and championing inclusivity. This supportive culture not only enriches the lives of employees but also contributes to the creation of exquisite jewelry that resonates with people worldwide.
As Pranda continues to lead by example, it serves as a beacon of hope for other businesses and industries to follow suit in championing inclusivity and providing opportunities for people with disabilities. By recognizing and harnessing the unique talents and potentials of every individual, Pranda is not only transforming lives but also reshaping perceptions and paving the way towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
