Hyderabad: Procter & Gamble said its medical and workplace benefits are extended to partners of LGBTQ employees effective April 1, 2022.

The partners of LGBTQ employees will now be covered under company’s medical plan that provides hospitalisation coverage to employees and their dependents. LGBTQ employees can avail emergency financial assistance for their partners, in case of natural calamity, death of an immediate family member or hospitalisation of an immediate family member to cover expenses not covered in the company’s medical policy.

The company will also extend financial support and transfer related assistance arising out of a company-initiated relocation to partners of LGBTQ employees.
