The National Gender Equality Plan has recently been signed, marking a significant milestone for the Bonnysa group. In agreement with the trade union organizations CC.OO, SITPA and UGT-FICA, which participate in the negotiating commission, the company demonstrates a strong commitment to progress in equality across its operations. The plan covers twelve business centers distributed across three provinces and oversees a workforce exceeding two thousand employees, reflecting the scale of the organization as it moves forward with inclusive practices and clear accountability.
Gloria Llatser commented on the moment, noting that this plan emerged from consensus and dedication. Bonnysa’s human resources leadership described the negotiations as a demonstration of social responsibility and corporate resolve to surpass the initial goals, setting a benchmark in the industry for its ambitious scope and collaborative approach.
The plan enshrines a robust commitment to zero tolerance for sexual harassment or any form of gender-based mistreatment within the workplace. It emphasizes the creation of safe working environments and includes a dedicated program to support and assist female employees who experience gender-based violence, ensuring access to resources and protection where needed.
The signed document presents a coherent package of measures designed to guarantee equality of opportunity for all employees, ensuring fair treatment and transparent processes. Notable components aim to level the playing field between men and women and promote inclusive growth across the organization. The core elements include:
-
Strengthening education and awareness on equality for managers and the broader workforce, with ongoing training and practical guidance integrated into daily operations.
-
Encouraging women to pursue roles in traditionally male-dominated areas and in positions where women are underrepresented, through targeted development programs and mentorship opportunities.
-
Integrating a gender perspective into occupational health policy, with a review of facilities, equipment, and workwear to ensure accommodations for pregnancy and breastfeeding needs are fully supported.
-
Committing to salary transparency by evaluating pay structures against objective, fair, and gender-balanced criteria, and making adjustments where gaps are identified.
-
Strengthening tools for monitoring vacancy availability and ensuring that recruitment and promotion efforts favor women in underrepresented roles, while upholding merit and competency standards.
All negotiating parties expressed pride in the outcomes achieved. The signing ceremony, performed with the participation of all signatories, served as a celebratory moment that underscored the organization’s ambition and its constructive, conciliatory spirit. The event highlighted a shared belief that collaboration can drive meaningful change and set a clear path for future initiatives that align with corporate values and social responsibility.
In reflecting on the milestone, the leadership underscored that this marks the beginning of a new phase focused on building a future where integrity, honesty, and a clear focus on people’s needs guide decisions and everyday practices. The plan is presented as a driver for sustained progress, with practical steps designed to advance equality and create a work culture that respects and empowers every employee. The emphasis is on measurable outcomes, accountability, and a long-term commitment to a more inclusive and just workplace for all workers across the Bonnysa group’s operations. The approach is anchored in real-world actions, ongoing evaluation, and a willingness to adapt as the organization grows and learns from the rollout across its network of centers and teams. This forward-looking stance resonates with broader labor market expectations in Canada and the United States, where equality in the workplace is increasingly seen as essential to performance, innovation, and retention. The plan therefore functions not only as a policy document but as a practical blueprint for daily behavior, talent development, and organizational culture that values human dignity above all else. Based on insights from the signatories and field leadership, the initiative is expected to produce tangible improvements in both environment and opportunity, encouraging a more inclusive future for all staff members across the company.
