The publication of the latest gender equality index results for French companies with at least 50 employees has recently been announced by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance. Any impacted companies have until March 1, 2025, to declare their index.
What Is the Gender Equality Index?
The gender equality index is a tool that enables companies to evaluate and measure their performance in terms of gender equality. It is based on five indicators:
- Gender pay gap
- Gender gap in career advancement
- Gender gap in promotions
- Pay gap between women and men returning from maternity and paternity leave
- The number of women among the highest-paid executives
Who Is Concerned?
The gender equality index applies to all companies with at least 50 employees in France. This includes companies of all sizes and sectors of activity.
How to Declare Your Index?
Companies can submit their index through the dedicated online platform: index-egapro.travail.gouv.fr. The declaration must be completed by the company’s legal representative.
Consequences of Non-Declaration
Companies that fail to declare their index by March 1, 2025, will be subject to a fine of up to €1,500.
Sanctions for Poor Results
Companies with an index score of less than 75 out of 100 may be subject to financial penalties, which can range from €1,000 to €100,000.
Support for Companies
To assist companies in improving their gender equality performance, the government provides various resources and support programs. These include:
- Training and workshops on gender equality
- Financial support for companies implementing gender equality measures
- Access to a network of experts and professionals in the field
Conclusion
The publication of the gender equality index results is a significant step towards promoting gender equality in the workplace. Companies are encouraged to take advantage of the resources and support available to improve their performance and strive for a more equitable and inclusive work environment. By declaring their index and working to achieve a score of 100 out of 100, companies can demonstrate their commitment to gender equality and create a more just and fair society for all.
