Best Practice
Promoter Information:
Abstract:
The French Group Schneider innovates in its industry by deploying a proactive policy and strong initiatives on the themes of gender equality in the workplace, including leadership development. To go even further, the group has decided in its new index dedicated to sustainable development of its entire ecosystem (Schneider Sustainability Impact) to increase F/M diversity from hiring (50%) to junior and middle managers (40%) and management teams (30%), by 2025. To support its ambitions, a new action plan has been launched in France from 2020 through the deployment of mentoring programs and the development of female leadership. This approach aims to collectively combat stereotypes and biases and is based on awareness-raising and training initiatives to challenge the implicit standards at work as much as to encourage support for women in their personal and professional development. Among these programs, nearly 400 women from all walks of life were trained in 2021 as part of the “How Women Rise” initiative deployed in France. In addition, Schneider Electric stands out on this issue through: An internal openness to the company's professions in order to develop a better knowledge of professional careers with the "Career week", a week dedicated to the promotion of professions The target group is Schneider Women employees The main outputs are: “How women rise” initiative; mentoring programs and women's leadership development; internal network of ambassadors. Their continuous efforts reflect a commitment to positive change and equal opportunities for all.
