Women Rising in Corporate Ranks

Screen 23 of 23

Programmes for promoting women, the legal obligation to offer equal rights, the Anti-Discrimination Act, quotas for women, better infrastructure – all these are evidently still necessary. Another important aspect is transparency among companies that really want women as specialists and managers. Helmut-Schmidt University and the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs have founded a new information platform called Genderdax. Companies can present themselves on the website after verification by the organizers of their active support of career-oriented women. The platform at www.genderdax.de is now open for companies to register. 100 large and 100 medium-sized enterprises now have an opportunity to present themselves there. Companies you would automatically expect to find in such a context are already on the site. They include Volkswagen and Westdeutsche Landesbank, already known for their support of women. But there is still plenty of room for others. And otherwise, too, there remains a lot to be done.
