NBDC is the leading resource for employers seeking to integrate people with disabilities into the workplace and companies seeking to reach them in the consumer marketplace.

Mentoring

There are many types of mentoring systems in place here – everything from business coaching to cultural mentoring. Every new employee is provided a business coach. This would be someone in their area of expertise who can help them with their career.

More importantly, we have networks in place for People with disabilities that are dedicated to making your recruiting and on-boarding process as easy as possible, as well as our "Beginnings" new hire on-boarding process. A member of one of our People with Disabilities Networks will contact you once you are offered a position with P&G. Many times, you will already know the Network Contact from your interview visit with P&G. Your Network Contact will play a much different "mentoring" role than your business coach. He/She can provide information to help you make a good decision on your P&G offer or once you accept our offer, can help get you and your family acclimated to P&G and to the community. Network Contacts are volunteers, who manage important businesses at P&G, but they know how important your questions and concerns are and want to assure they are answered.

So, what type of support can you expect at P&G? Great support that will help with your special needs or those of your family. Our charter is to help People with Disabilities succeed at P&G.
