Gender diversity

ASSA ABLOY values and promotes diversity. This includes the ambition to achieve a better gender balance at all levels of the organization over time. The goal is to have women fill 30 percent of management positions by 2020. A gender diversity policy was introduced in 2010.

As of 2011, about 35 percent of the employees are women, while the percentage in managerial roles is significantly lower.

In order to further promote gender diversity, a workshop was held in Stockholm in June 2011 with participation from all divisions and members of Group Management to discuss goals and measures. It was agreed to set a goal that, by 2020, 30 percent of employees at levels 2–5 (see below) will be female. It was also agreed to increase the focus on gender diversity in connection with the Talent Management Process.

Other actions agreed on include to give priority to the underrepresented gender in connection with recruitment, provided their qualifications are comparable, and to try to have at least one candidate from the underrepresented gender on the shortlist of candidates for each position.
