In addressing IROs related to equal pay, harassment and diversity, GN has a dedicated Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy which outlines beliefs and aspirations for equal treatment and opportunities for all its employees. Similarly, a dedicated anti-harassment policy promotes respectful culture and aims to raise awareness about bullying and how to report inappropriate behavior. GN policies are designed for all employee groups at every level to eliminate discrimination and uphold human rights principles.

Employees can at all times engage with their direct manager, HR business partner, contact GN’s global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team, or join employee-led employee resource groups. GN also conducts webinars, communication, and awareness campaigns on topics such as mental health, neurodiversity, and health and safety. Additionally, GN has established employee resource groups that aim to gain insights into the perspectives of marginalized employees. This includes a global network of female professionals in GN, a global network for LGBT+ colleagues and allies, and a network for black colleagues and supportive allies across the company. The results from the campaigns and employee feedback are reviewed and evaluated by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to identify new initiatives and actions. Employees are also encouraged to share their comments and views on internal Teams channels and the GN intranet.
