This database contains various files with good practices that companies have undertaken in order to promote the equality between women and men in their organization.
The size of the organisations as well as the type of campaign may differ. Large multinationals, but also local SMEs or cities and municipal authorities; all have made their contribution to this database.
The actions vary from specific projects, for which extra budgets are sanctioned, to simpler initiatives without a budgetary impact, in various domains (mobility, promotion, training, etc.). In other words, something for everyone!
Due account has been taken of the transferability of the actions in the composition of the database. If you wish to implement an action in your own company, it is necessary for you to take into account that all initiatives must be checked against your own corporate culture. Equality between women and men must be introduced in organisations in a tailor-made manner.
