The Boadilla del Monte City Council has activated a free advisory service aimed at businesses in the area that want to implement gender equality policies. The initiative covers everything from creating equality plans to preventing sexual harassment or improving work-life balance. Companies receive personalized support from professionals at no cost, facilitating regulatory compliance and the creation of more equitable environments.
A digital assistant to comply with gender regulations 🤖
The service relies on digital tools that allow diagnosing the current situation of each company regarding equality. Based on an online questionnaire, the system generates personalized reports that highlight wage gaps, imbalances in gender representation, or shortcomings in anti-harassment protocols. Municipal technicians use this data to design specific action plans, prioritizing measures such as reviewing selection processes or implementing flexible schedules, all integrable with existing HR software.
Equality also reaches the coffee machine ☕
Finally, the City Council has realized that equality is not just about changing the sign on the bathroom door. Now, businesses in Boadilla can receive help so that, in addition to complying with the law, no one has to hear the classic comment about how good red looks on administrative staff. Although the service is free, it is recommended not to use it to ask whether the equality plan includes equitable shifts for restocking cookies in the break room.
