Un'iniziativa finanziata dall'UE sta aiutando i produttori austriaci a ripensare la cultura del posto di lavoro, con nuove misure di formazione, coaching e uguaglianza che mostrano come l'industria possa colmare il divario di genere a partire dal reparto di produzione.
In collaborazione con the European Commission

00:00In Kapfenberg, Austria, this industrial manufacturer is working to promote gender equality in the workplace.
00:08The quality of a job is not just about salary, it's about labor rights, equal opportunities, good working conditions and real chances to grow.
00:36Here in Austria, new efforts are bringing workers and employers together to tackle this challenge directly inside workplaces.
00:49300 people work at BHDT, a company specialized in high-pressure equipment for the chemical and petrochemical industries.
00:58The work is highly technical, demanding precision, training and skills.
01:01For Eva, who's been here for 11 years, it's the working conditions that truly make the difference.
01:07Grundsätzlich ist das Unternehmen sehr familiär eingestellt.
01:12Man kann gut über Arbeitszeiten sprechen, sodass das Problemlose bringen und abholen von Kindergarten und jetzt mittlerweile Schule gewährleistet ist.
01:22Work-Life-Balance ist wirklich ausgezeichnet.
01:26Also das ist auch ein Mitgrund, warum ich schon so lange im Unternehmen bin.
01:29According to Eva's colleague, Lilo, these conditions are opening the door for more women to join a sector traditionally dominated by men.
01:38Ich fühle mich da als Frau gesehen und gehört. Es wird immer besser.
01:43Man muss sagen, weil die Firmen sehr viel dafür tut.
01:46BHDT recently began a collaboration with Fair Plus Service.
01:50The program offers free coaching and consulting to companies and their female employees,
01:56helping them gain new qualifications and feel more valued at work.
02:00For employers, it's also a way to improve training, communication and overall workplace culture.
02:06Fair Plus started for us with the investigation on the shop floor.
02:11And they brought us a lot of ideas where we have to keep our mind on or focus on to have an even better collaboration
02:21between the different groups of people working, employees working in our company.
02:25For us, it's just important that people work together to have the best output for our company.
02:31And it works.
02:33Fair Plus Service runs from 2023 to 2028 and is backed by 6 million euros from the European Social Fund Plus.
02:40The initiative partners with companies across Austria to promote gender equality in the workplace.
02:47It's an important step towards tackling the challenges that continue to affect female workers across the European Union.
02:55We have particular problems that are visible for women and there is a visible gender gap.
03:0012% lower pay for the same work on average in Europe.
03:04Women have much more work outside of their workplaces in job, much more unpaid work at home for taking care of family members or domestic work.
03:15Women have much less perspectives for growing in the career.
03:20Between 2021 and 2027, the ESF Plus is investing more than 2.1 billion euros to support gender equality in the EU's labor market.
03:30New initiatives like the Quality Jobs Roadmap will also guide member states in creating better and more secure jobs across the continent.
03:38This is very important because it gives first the ground, the framing of the discussion about quality jobs.
03:45And this is something extremely important.
03:47Again, this is part of the European competitiveness.
03:50It zooms on some particular issues that are very important, like the health and safety conditions, especially, for example, workers that are exposed to high heat,
04:01but also the psychosocial risks and the psychological climate at work, which is an issue with increasing importance.
04:09It also is going to zoom the debate on the new technologies that are coming into work, artificial intelligence, digitalization, the role of the humans in the whole process.
04:21Back in Katzenberg, Eva has a message for women based on her own experience in the workplace.
04:27The story of Eva and her colleagues shows that gender equality in the workplace is not just an ideal,
04:51but a real possibility that benefits workers, employers and the economy.
