Our Gender Equality Plan: Key Components
Resilience Guard’s Gender Equality Plan is a structured approach that includes measurable goals, policy actions, and continuous monitoring. It is embedded into our internal HR procedures and aligns with the requirements of Horizon Europe and other EU-funded projects.
1. Equal Opportunity EmploymentWe ensure that all hiring, promotion, and compensation decisions are made solely on the basis of merit, qualifications, and organizational fit—regardless of gender or gender identity.
2. Inclusive Workplace CultureWe actively cultivate a workplace culture that respects gender diversity and challenges stereotypes. Training and awareness initiatives are provided to all staff members to promote inclusion and respect.
3. Work-Life Balance and FlexibilityWe support family-friendly policies and flexible working arrangements, understanding that these are essential for gender equality, especially in supporting women’s participation and advancement.
4. Gender-Disaggregated Data CollectionWe systematically collect and analyze HR data disaggregated by gender to monitor equity in recruitment, salaries, promotions, and retention. This helps identify gaps and target actions accordingly.
5. Zero Tolerance for HarassmentWe have implemented a clear anti-harassment policy and provide confidential channels for reporting and resolving issues related to gender-based discrimination or misconduct.
6. Leadership and EmpowermentWe encourage the representation of women and other underrepresented genders in leadership roles and strategic decision-making processes. Our internal mentorship programs aim to empower future leaders.
Supporting Gender Equality Across Our ProjectsIn all our consultancy and training services—especially in business continuity, risk management, and cyber resilience—we encourage our clients and partners to integrate gender-sensitive approaches in their planning and operations. Whether working with EU agencies, national authorities, or private sector entities, we promote gender-balanced representation and inclusive stakeholder engagement.
Commitment to Continuous ImprovementWe recognize that achieving gender equality is an ongoing journey. Resilience Guard GmbH is committed to regularly reviewing and updating our Gender Equality Plan to reflect societal changes, new regulations, and feedback from our team.
We also welcome collaboration with other organizations to share best practices and learn from one another in building a more equitable future.
Resilience Guard GmbH is proud to champion gender equality—not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes us stronger, more innovative, and more aligned with the diverse world we serve.
