“We are doing already pretty much for women in our company ” – SWOPS shows that reality also in France is sometimes another.

02.02.2016 Newsletter

The acquisition of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through SWOPS showed that French employers rely on the government-mandated action plans for more equality in the workplace, but occasionally leave the implementation overlooked.

The original objective of being able to also perform consulting services for the optimization of the company’s human resources management in the French SME, proved to be only partially applicable. The reason: Since 2012 France has a law on equal opportunities in employment between women and men. This law requires companies with more than 50 employees to sign collective wage agreements, or – where this is not possible – to develop so-called “action plans”. From a catalog of eight possible areas of action, the companies have to adopt three emphases: recruitment, education, training, promotion of the careers, re-entry, optimization of working conditions, equal pay and work-life balance.
