/ We learned that “Gender Equality” is a part of the “Social

/ We heard that this project can bring improvements in our organization

(Higher motivation? More productivity? Less absence time?)

/ We started activities for:

Renegotiation of special terms and conditions for our employees

Contacting our agent for insurances (special agreement)

Working out of proposals for individual agreements with our

employers for “banc hours” (flexible working time)

documents “gender unspecific”….
