Regulatory News:
PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) and its six trade unions – FO,
CFE-CGC, CGT, GSEA, CFDT and CFTC – today signed an agreement
on jobs for women and gender equality in the workplace. The
agreement concerns nearly 60,000 Group employees in France and,
especially, the 10,500 women among them. The fourth update of an
initial agreement signed in November 2003, this latest agreement
sets out the organisation’s long-term commitments in favour of
gender diversity and equality, defining three priorities for the
period 2014-2017:
Gender diversity in the professions: Considered a
sustainable development performance objective, gender diversity in
the different professions is improving. The agreement specifies how
PSA Peugeot Citroën, in cooperation with all of its partners
(including State services, non-profit organisations and companies),
will work to make automotive industry jobs more appealing to women.
This initiative, dedicated to training more women to pursue careers
within the Group, aims to ensure that 30% of the apprentices and
interns it employs each year are women. In addition, the agreement
emphasises that internal job mobility helps to increase gender
diversity in the organisation’s different job families and
professions.
HR processes that guarantee gender workplace equality:
Given that these processes have demonstrated their effectiveness,
their application should be pursued and monitored. In addition to
the annual comparative analysis of salary and promotion indicators
for men and women, a comparative study on the career trajectories
of men and women will be carried out. New provisions on maternity
protection have been introduced, in particular to ensure that
maternity leave does not prevent a woman's wage from rising in the
year of her absence from work.
Access for women to all levels of responsibility:
Maintained at executive and senior management level, this objective
is to be cascaded to all management levels across all job
categories. Support and training measures must be introduced to
support this ongoing process over the long term. Based on this
approach, the proportion of women among senior executives and
managers has already doubled since 2009, representing 11% in 2014.
The goal has been set to increase that percentage to 20% by
2020.
Philippe Dorge, Executive Vice President, Human Resources,
said: “I’m delighted that this fourth agreement on gender
workplace equality has been signed by all the trade unions. Gender
workplace equality is a long-term initiative within our Group that
is now producing tangible results; the proportion of women among
new hires is increasing and we guarantee that it will be even
higher than their proportion among those who apply for a job. The
percentage of women among internally promoted employees is also
constantly rising. These results derive from our method of defining
improvement programmes in agreement with the trade unions as part
of a continuous dialogue.”
