Diversity and Inclusion at PayU

Diversity & Inclusion for PayU is in recognizing the uniqueness of one in many and thriving on the strength of many in one – it is for everyone. At the heart of PayU are PayUneers. And at the core of being a PayUneer is being able to be “U” at the workplace.

Our vision is to create a world without financial borders where everyone can prosper; to be a true reflection of this, we aspire to be a workplace that fosters D&I across cultures, genders, races, physical and mental differences & sexualities. We believe in the power vested in the plurality of experiences, empowering our people to thrive with their unique identities while imbibing the distinctiveness fueled by dissimilarities. We enable continuous learning to ensure PayUneers feel empowered to call out any instance of bias, while embracing conscious inclusivity in our DNA.

How do we do it? By strongly aligning to our core values, imbibing them into our ways of working and encouraging its advocacy with every PayUneer.

As a global organization operating across multiple cultures, PayU is focused on nurturing an inclusive culture and promoting inclusive behaviors. Our core values of openness and courage are a reflection of how we walk the talk – we appreciate openness and honesty and are proud of every PayUneer, who has the courage to bring his/her/their real self at work each day.

“At PayU we are committed to creating a safe haven where any PayUneer feels secure to live with their true identity, on their own terms.” Mario Shiliashki, CEO PayU GPO

In 2021 we officially introduce PayU’s first global Pride Month celebration. In 2022 we continued what we started with our second global Pride Month celebration, which included various awareness building initiatives as well as engaging workshops.

“Diversity and Inclusion are the foundation of what PayU is and what our culture is about across all countries and teams. They are also the foundation of our vision to build a world without financial borders where everyone can prosper.

Pride Month is here to remind us that equal rights have been and still are a constant effort, if not a real struggle and fight. It puts the spotlight on our commitment to build a workplace where everybody is accepted for who they are, a place where they can bring their whole self to work.” Laurent le Moal, PayU CEO

The conversation around gender equality is growing stronger day by day. Much has been made to increase female representation in the tech field – and yet there is even more left to do. We at PayU believe, that real and lasting change needs action: from governments and society, as well as from the industry itself. Driving gender equality and empowering women through various initiatives such as an active support community, mentorship programs, and many more is key to our agenda.
