We belong to a business sector in which equality is one of the great unsolved issues. Technology is a very male-dominated sector. According to the study “Transformative competencies for gender equality in society and the digital economy from the Observatory for Equality and Employment” in Spain, only 19.8% of digital positions are held by women.

At eDiversa Group, as an ICT company, we want to add our grain of sand to bridge the gap. For this, in 2023, we set the high goal of carrying out actions that will help us promote the value of Equality, both in terms of talent and brand positioning.
In this post, we’d like to explain the most important actions we’ve taken.

Sensitization and awareness raising
For us, the channels of communications such as social media, corporate blogs or newsletters are powerful tools for awareness and sensitization for society. Through posts on these media, we can publish data and relevant news, argue our position in relation to issues that concern us as well as explain in detail the actions we implement in favor of them

Team
One of the main priorities of the company is to match the proportion of men to women on the team. In 2023, seven women joined the team and in 2024, we are proud to say that our staff has women in all of its departments, both technical as well as in services and customer services. Also, 75% of the company’s management positions are held by women.

Equality Plan
In 2023, as part of our commitment to gender equality in the workplace, we started the creation of the company’s Equality Plan. In the first quarter of 2024, we successfully completed its implementation.
The Equality Plan is a comprehensive document that establishes policies and procedures designed to promote equal opportunities and fair treatment among all employees, regardless of gender.

Through the implementation of the Equality Plan, the company promises to:
• Promote equal opportunities in access to jobs, training and promotions within the company.
• Erradicate any type of salary breach or wage discrimination based on gender.
• Guarantee a work environment free of harassment, intimidation or any kind of gender-based violence.
• Foster the reconciliation of personal, family and work life for men and women.
• Boost sensitization and gender equality training for the entire workforce.

The first tool to be put into place to reach these objectives is the Protocol for the Prevention and Addressing Sexual and/or Gender-Based Harassment. Everyone in the company will receive training in awareness and prevention of harassment.

This 2024, we are seeing the fruits of our labor from work done over the last few years. Having women in all departments and a team that is sensitive to equality are two of the factors that encourage us to continue working along the same lines and advance as much as possible towards one of the most important pending issues in the technology sector.
