On November 24, 2023, Creamline Dairy Products Limited (CDPL), a Godrej Group company, launched a dedicated platform that aims to foster diversity and inclusivity within the organization, expanding leadership opportunities, and providing a safe space for women of Godrej Jersey to express themselves freely in the workplace.
JerSHEy (a smaller ERG that is a part of the larger WeForShe) was kicked off with a session led by CEO, Bhupendra Suri, and the leadership team at Hyderabad.
JerSHEy aims to offer participants a platform to share experiences, ideas, and feedback, fostering a sense of being heard and valued. Recent sessions have included discussions on cancer awareness, particularly focusing on breast and cervical cancer in women, highlighting the initiative's commitment to addressing important health issues.
JerSHEy celebrates inspirational figures like Meena K, who overcame personal tragedy - the death of her husband - and progressed from Lab Assistant to Deputy Manager. A longtime employee at Creamline, personal loss halted Meena's career journey briefly. Her personal resilience and determination, bolstered by support from colleagues and managers, helped create positive change not only for herself and her family, but to her circle of support at work. Her story serves as a source of pride and motivation for JerSHEy women.
Through JerSHEy, Anand Ramaswamy, Chief Operating Officer, CDPL and the team aim to introduce more impactful initiatives that support the growth and success of women within the organization, providing them with the necessary resources and encouragement to thrive in their careers.
