How to diagnose equal opportunities between women and men in organizations
Abstract: Gender equality is
now a matter that concerns all European countries. Despite the great effort
made by governments and the progress of laws, gender discrimination still
exists in family, social, cultural, political and economic spheres. Even today,
it is rare to find women at the top level in companies. The path to equal
opportunities is long and the only way to improve the situation is by means of
appropriate equal opportunities plans. An essential part of the process of
designing and implementing such action plans involves diagnosing the situation
in a company. In this paper, an innovative indicator model is proposed. A
review of numerous international private and public equal opportunities plans
led to the design of a model to carry out a diagnose to identify all areas that
could be corrected or improved by implementing specific measures, leading the
company to deliver real equal opportunities policies. The indicator model is
designed for the present historical context, though it is flexible enough to be
adapted to each age and situation. The indicator model, which is original, will
help companies carrying out one of the most important and essential parts of
the process of designing and implementing and equal opportunities plan.
Moreover, taking the indicator model companies ensure that all the relevant
features are covered.
