According to WWD, Gucci's plan consists of multiple long-term initiatives. In addition, Alessandro Michele will be "personally involved" in selecting five new, immediate design hires in its Rome design studio. "The designers will be paired with an individual mentor to ensure a seamless integration within the department," says the trade publication.
A diversity and inclusivity awareness program will also go into effect at the beginning of May, which will help educate all of Gucci's reported 18,000 employees across the globe. Though, focus will "initially be on Italy and the U.S.," notes WWD. The program's one-day sessions are expected to be completed by the end of June and required follow-ups by all those involved will be enforced annually.
Lastly, Gucci plans to launch a global exchange program, effective immediately, which will pair selected individuals with mentors to work within its Italian headquarters.
