Pruksa emphasizes the importance of treating employees equally and has always valued the diversity of its workforce. The main goal is to create a sustainable work environment that promotes 'well-being' for all employees, regardless of gender identity or generation. Recently, the company has enhanced its benefits for LGBTQIA+ groups, including a wedding gift of 1 baht of gold for employees of all genders, leave for gender reassignment surgery, freedom of dress, and a discount of up to 30% on medical expenses at Vimut Hospital for families and partners of any gender. This initiative aims to not only enhance the skills and capabilities of employees but also to foster happiness in the workplace while ensuring a good quality of life, with a focus on maximizing employee benefits.

Mr. Uthen Lohachitpitak, CEO of Pruksa Holding Public Company Limited, stated that valuing diversity and accepting differences among employees has always been a priority for Pruksa. The company aims to create a truly 'well-being' work environment by encouraging all employees to fully express their potential, creating and expanding opportunities for employees of all genders, and providing equal benefits and welfare for employees with diverse gender identities.

New Benefits Tailored for LGBTQIA+ Currently, Pruksa offers basic benefits that ensure 'well-being' for all employee groups, such as annual bonuses, provident funds, group life and health insurance, annual leave, special leave on birthdays, social security funds, funeral funds, special discounts for purchasing housing, and annual health check-ups. To elevate the 'well-being' of all employees, Pruksa has developed additional benefits specifically addressing the needs of LGBTQIA+ employees to promote equality, including:

• A wedding gift of 1 baht of gold for all genders.

• The right to take sick leave for gender reassignment surgery.

• Opportunities for freedom of dress.

• The right to use restrooms according to gender identity and expression.

• Scholarships for employees' children and adopted children, benefiting LGBTQIA+ spouses who are increasingly interested in adoption.

• Additional personal leave days that enhance 'well-being,' such as leave for wedding ceremonies like male-female employees, leave to care for sick family members, or leave for family funerals, including for partners, regardless of gender.

Preparing to Add 3 More Benefits Following the Implementation of Equal Marriage Laws To celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community, Pruksa is preparing additional benefits for LGBTQIA+ employees following the enactment of equal marriage laws, such as group insurance for legally recognized spouses and children, financial assistance for funeral expenses for legally recognized spouses, and discounts on housing benefits purchased in the name of legally recognized spouses.

“Because we believe that employees are a crucial cog in driving the organization towards stable and sustainable growth, we provide the best benefits for all employees,” Mr. Uthen concluded.
