The Gender Equality Plan is a set of measures designed to ensure equal treatment and opportunities between women and men in the workplace. It must include clear actions, strategies, and practices that promote inclusion and eliminate discrimination, harassment (both workplace and sexual). Additionally, it must include a system of monitoring and evaluation to measure compliance with: gender-focused recruitment, the elimination of the gender pay gap, and the promotion of women to leadership positions.
Who must have a Plan?
- Mandatory: For all companies with more than 50 employees and for all public entities, regardless of the number of employees.
- Optional: For companies with fewer than 50 employees, although presenting the plan has advantages.
