Equal opportunities for men and women have been firmly anchored at Aareal Bank for a long time, and are an integral part of our diversity concept. We want to improve the conditions for women in particular to take on management or senior expert functions, and hence further increase the proportion of women in these positions. To this end, we have taken a number of measures to support the identification, promotion and advancement of female talent.

As part of our systematic human resources work, for example, we specifically address our specialist areas with regard to the promotion of female talent within the management and expert career paths and offer our employees training courses specially tailored to women. Furthermore, we offer comprehensive services to improve the compatibility of career and family or career and care, and actively promote participation in cross-industry mentoring, coaching and development programs that prepare talented female managers for (top) management positions.

Participation in the FKi is a central component of our efforts to further increase the proportion of women. The results and recommendations thus serve as a basis for further analyses and measures to be initiated to help us increase the proportion of women in management positions.

The promotion of women is clearly the focus of human resources development

The promotion of women has been a top priority at SBK for some years now. It has, so to speak, become a top priority and is firmly anchored in SBK’s corporate mission statement. In recent years, a lot has been set in motion. The number of female applications for management positions has increased significantly, and this is also reflected in the number of positions filled. This is partly because the SBK Equal Opportunities Officer does more than the originally planned tasks, and managers have recognized the opportunities offered by women in management positions. The vision: the 69 percent share of women in the company should be reflected in equal measure in the filling of management positions at all levels of management, but especially in middle and upper management. A number of important steps have already been initiated along the way:

Active women’s network

Here women in leading positions meet regularly to exchange experiences. Moreover, they identify new potential female managers, actively approach them and motivate them. In addition, they accompany new managers and thus make it easier for them to enter their new position.

Expansion of the range of seminars for female talents: The focus here is, for example, on topics such as career planning perspectives and the understanding of roles in leadership (from professional to disciplinary leadership).

Expansion of flexible working time models

And not only for women. Working in individual part-time programmes and the use of flexitime and parental leave by both men and women create a dynamic framework in which women can also develop even more effectively as managers.

Advisory services for the compatibility of family and career

The SBK now provides intensive advice on this. Contact persons are local managers, the Equal Opportunities Officer, women’s representatives in all SBK regions throughout Germany, the staff of the Human Resources department and our external cooperation partner PME Familienservice. In addition to providing advice, very practical services (e.g. childcare facilities) also help to keep women in management positions free.

As a company with a large number of employees in the technical/commercial sector, gender equality is a challenge that we are happy to accept. For us, targeted promotion of women also means strategic personnel planning -development. With the State Equal Opportunities Act we have the legal framework for our activities – but the design is a matter close to our hearts, also from our Board Member for Personnel and Social Affairs.

Equal pay for women and men is standard practice at Berliner Wasserbetriebe. We do not have a gender pay gap, as the checking of selected functions with the eg check has also shown. With a set of measures, we ensure that men and women in our company can recognise and take advantage of career opportunities equally. In addition to gender-equitable pay, these include the reconciliation of family and career, for example through flexible working time models or a parent-child office, as well as the opportunity for further training throughout one’s working life and thus the opportunity to get involved in one’s career according to the phases of life.

By participating in the FKi we see that we are on the right track. It is important for us to recognise where we are already well positioned and where there is still room for improvement. The promotion of women is a current topic, and the FKi enables comparisons and exchanges with other companies.

Cawa Younosi, Human Resources Manager SAP Germany, on the FKi results announcement on March 6

Whenever there is a discussion in Germany about diversity and the future of work, there is one person who should not be missing: Cawa Younosi, 44, personnel manager for SAP in Germany. His work motto: “We’re not performing open-heart surgery. Let’s just try it out.”

That is how he introduced the so-called ” part time bridge ” long before it became law. Likewise, co-leadership: Today, every leadership position can be shared on two shoulders. Full-time is no longer the rule at SAP, but an option – even in management positions. That is why we are particularly pleased to hear his greeting message on the announcement of the results of the Women’s Career Index and his congratulations to the award winners:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is an IT company that helps customers move forward faster. We help IT environments become more efficient, productive and secure, enabling them to respond quickly and flexibly to a rapidly changing competitive environment. The digital transformation is revolutionizing all industries, we make hybrid IT simple, we support the Intelligent Edge and we have the expertise to make it happen.

Promotion of women at Hewlett Packard Enterprise

We regard diversity in the composition of our workforce as one of the key factors in our corporate success. People of different origins, gender and age with a wide range of individual skills represent an enormous creative potential.

As an IT company, we support our customers in the transformation to a digitalized future. The digitalization of the world of work is not only a technological but also a cultural change, which requires a high degree of adaptability and a great variety of perspectives. Female and male strengths are equally required. We are therefore committed to improving the gender balance, especially in management positions.

We have been setting ourselves binding targets since 2012, which we are consistently pursuing. The proportion of women in management has risen continuously since 2012. Dialogue with managers has established an awareness of the importance of identifying and promoting female talent early in their careers. Numerous measures, such as company-wide talent pools, mentoring and sponsorship, and talent marketplaces, address the issue of a management career – the visibility of talent and the determination to break with traditional patterns.

It is important to us that gender equality is not just a measurable number. Rather, as an employer, we see ourselves faced with the task of driving forward a process of change so that women’s careers in IT become a matter of course. We are convinced that this is not a sprint that you put down from one day to the next, but a marathon that requires stamina and long-term measures.  Our open corporate culture helps us to break through traditional patterns and to anchor our measures in a sustainable manner. For us, the FKI is a way of staying the marathon, making our commitment visible and learning from other companies.

Promotion of women at IBB

Petra Leuschner, Women’s Representative at the IBB “As a public and social employer, we want to work towards ensuring that gender equality is not only on paper, but also in reality, in the working environment. We have already achieved a great deal, as the figures show. We do not want to rest on this success, because it cannot be taken for granted. Over the last twelve years, we have worked intensively on the framework conditions for equality, such as the compatibility of family and career and equal pay. A key factor for success is the cultural anchoring of the promotion of women and equality. This is not just about meeting a quota. Rather, we are working on a self-image for the acceptance, tolerance and support of different life models and the breaking up of still existing traditional role models. The challenge for the future is to constantly reflect on the equality of women and men, to keep it alive and to develop tailor-made measures for equality.

Participation in the FKI helps us with various questions: – Where do we stand in the promotion of women within the scope of our possibilities? – How do our activities work over time? – What are realistic developments and values? Of course it is also exciting for us to see how well the IBB compares to other companies in the promotion of women.

Advancement of women at Miele

“Filling more management positions with women is one of the priority goals of our personnel policy. We specifically promote talented female employees and encourage them in their career plans. We keep in touch during the family phase and then offer flexible flexi-time and part-time models. A family service provides support in matters of childcare and for relatives in need of care. “

Michael Bruggesser, Head of Human Resources Miele & Cie KG

At Miele, the proportion of women in the recruitment of highly qualified young specialists is at least equal to the proportion of women among graduates in the relevant subjects. And the proportion of women in the promotion of talent is at least equal to the proportion of female employees in the workforce. In the context of the annual employee appraisals, we take advantage of the opportunity to identify skills and potential and promote them through appropriate measures. The programs that prepare prospective or new managers for their tasks include various training courses and participation in a 12-month internal mentoring program.

Miele has for many years been involved with mentees and mentors in the cross-company ‘CrossMentoring OWL’ programme specifically for female managers. In order to achieve the best possible work-life balance, we maintain contact with young mothers and fathers during parental leave. This also includes specifically encouraging talented women to maintain their career plans. Flexible flextime and part-time models help in this after returning home. A specialised service provider, pme Familienservice, provides various advisory and support services for our employees on our behalf. These include individual advice on various childcare options, the arrangement of childcare places and our own range of daycare places. Emergency care and holiday offers are also available. Advice and mediation in the care of older relatives are further components. As a visible commitment to equal opportunities and diversity, Miele has signed the “Charter of Diversity”. We are convinced that the more diverse the workforce of an international company is, the better the future prospects in global competition.

“Our framework conditions perform well in the benchmark. We offer flexible working hours, mobile working and have flexible childcare facilities at large locations. That this is not enough is clear to us! If there is to be real change, women must also make decisions, and they must do so in management positions. That is what we are tackling now. Our goal is to fill 30 percent of our management positions with women. We have committed ourselves to this in the Executive Management Board. To achieve this, we have launched a number of measures, such as recruiting campaigns that explicitly target women, targeted positioning of women in succession plans, a minimum number of women in leadership development programs, and more to come.
