Female managers doubled in the past year

Date:

28% of companies do not meet the requirement to have payroll and 7% of companies with more than 50 employees also do not have an equality plan

There is still a long way to go when it comes to equality. In the 21st century, women are still underrepresented in all power spaces, as the numbers show. In addition, as pay, prestige and real power increase, the number of women in the highest positions decreases exponentially. However, much progress is being made. In fact, the percentage of companies where the presence of women in the company’s management body (management committee or similar) exceeds 50% has doubled in the past year and has gone from 9% to 20%, according to the III Adecco Equality Observatory. published this Wednesday.

In addition, the presence of women in middle management has almost tripled in the past year, from 7% to 20%.

Just last Monday, the European Commission took an important step on the road to equality by agreeing to raise the minimum percentage of women in management positions of large listed companies by the end of 2026 to 40%. open and transparent procedure to achieve this and a system of fines will be put in place that will penalize companies that do not follow the rules.

These advancements made in the face of equity are related to laws passed in recent years, such as the requirement to have an equality plan that requires companies with more than 50 employees or everyone to have payroll.

Currently, less than half of Spanish companies have an equality plan. Specifically, only 45% have already implemented it, while another 26% are in the preliminary diagnosis stage or are already negotiating it with employee representatives, the report said.

The other 29% don’t have it and aren’t currently on their plans, although not all of them are not up to the standard, just 7.7%, according to the survey, that’s those of more than 50 employees who admit they don’t have it despite the fact that it is already mandatory. On the contrary, 24% of companies with fewer than 50 employees have an Equal Treatment Plan, although this is not required by law.

Greater is the degree of non-compliance with payroll. Despite the more than three million companies in Spain already having to have it, 28% have not yet implemented it, for which they face heavy fines. It is true that the percentage of those who have it has increased from 71% to 72% in the past year. Only 10% also have a specific computer tool for analysis.
