Sustainability Report 2016 . 2017 39 Diversity at AGRAVIS The percentage of female managers at AGRAVIS currently stands at under 10 per cent. It is one of the Board of Directors' declared goals to increase the proportion of female managers and specialists. This is intended to serve as a guarantee that career success is possible at AGRAVIS, irrespective of sex, and that AGRAVIS is an attractive employer for both men and women. After all, the best results are achieved in mixed, diverse teams. The company has defined the following fields of action to achieve this objective: • Career Opportunity • Balance between Career and Family Life • Networking The Career Opportunity field of action aims to achieve greater transparency over decision criteria for promotion, for example. To do so, a competence model will be introduced, for example, which serves as the basis for objective criteria for hiring, promoting and assessing employees.In the Balance between the Career and Family Life field of action, we are working towards implementing measures such as making mobile working possible to improve the balance between career and family life. In the Networking field of action, a framework is being created to promote dialogue between female managers and employees. This includes aspects such as mentoring programmes or lecture events with top female managers.Alongside measures in the described fields of action, the trend in the percentage of female managers is evaluated on a regular basis and is taken into account in the company-wide talent management. Company Health Management Requirements for a modern workplace go beyond work safety to protect against operational hazards. In addition to safe operational procedures, these requirements include health and environmental protection aspects.
