Results of Volta France's 2023 professional equality index
The 2018 "Avenir professionnel" law, requires French companies with more than 50 employees to measure and make public their Gender Equality Index. This score is determined by adding up the results obtained on the following specific criteria:
- Men/Women pay gap : 25/40
- Difference in rates of individual increases M/W : 15/35
- Percentage of employees receiving a raise in the year following their return from maternity leave: 0/15
- Parity among the 10 highest earners: 10/10
Total : 50/100
Aware of the necessary improvements, Volta is committed and establishes progress objectives for each indicator as well as corrective measures:
Progress objectives:
- Men/Women pay gap: 30/40
- Difference in rates of individual increases M/W: 25/35
- Percentage of employees receiving a raise in the year following their return from maternity leave: 15/15
- Parity among the 10 highest earners: 10/10
Total : 80/100
Our corrective measures include:
- Formalizing a salary grid with positioning by level and job role established from benchmarking tools, to avoid any possible form of discrimination.
- Implementation of structured training and career advancement paths.
- Training recruiters and managers on biases during recruitment.
- Adding a clause in the compensation policy to shift the raise from January to the date of return from maternity leave.
- Seeking to establish more partnerships to raise awareness of women's representation in the Tech sector.
- Encouraging our DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) group in their projects. This group regularly meets to discuss and promote these values, thus fostering awareness and education on these issues. We support their initiatives and concrete actions aimed at creating an inclusive work environment.
At Volta Medical, we are deeply committed to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in all that we do in order to maintain a supportive and understanding environment in which all individuals are able to thrive and achieve their maximum potential within the company.
