Fostering Employee-Led Communities
At Ralph Lauren, we are committed to helping all employees reach their full potential through opportunities for growth and development, programs that support well-being and employee-led initiatives that foster a sense of belonging. Employee Impact Groups (EIGs) help bring this culture to life through year-round programming, monthly community forums, heritage celebrations, volunteer initiatives and community partnerships.
Through these efforts, employee-led EIGs create opportunities for employees to build community, celebrate shared experiences, explore new perspectives, engage with causes that matter to them and develop leadership skills beyond their day-to-day roles, while extending their impact within Ralph Lauren and beyond.
One way EIGs foster connection and engagement across the Company is through opportunities for dialogue and feedback about employee experiences and workplace culture. In FY26, participants took part in interactive roundtables and listening sessions across 20 cities globally, designed to gather feedback through candid conversations and increase awareness of EIGs and other Belonging & Equity (BE) programs and resources.
As individuals’ needs evolve, our programs evolve alongside them, helping ensure our approach remains responsive and relevant to the people who make up Ralph Lauren. This past year, we launched a cancer-focused EIG to support employees who are navigating a cancer diagnosis or caring for or supporting family members and friends affected by cancer.
Developing Careers Through Mentorship
Ralph Lauren is committed to helping employees grow throughout every stage of their careers. Through leadership development programs, skills-based learning and mentorship opportunities, employees across the Company can build new capabilities, expand their networks and gain exposure to different perspectives and experiences.
The Ralph Lauren Mentoring Program brings together mentors and mentees across functions, levels and geographies to foster connections, knowledge-share and help participants learn from colleagues with diverse backgrounds and career journeys. Mentor-mentee pairs participate in one-on-one meetings and virtual learning workshops and are provided with additional development tools and resources to support their success. This approach is informed by insights from our Annual Employee Survey, including qualitative feedback that helps us better understand the employee experience and identify opportunities to enhance talent programs. In FY26, the program facilitated hundreds of pairings globally.
Ongoing feedback and mentorship are integral to Ralph Lauren's broader talent development strategy and support an employee experience that encourages long-term growth at Ralph Lauren.
