Research on the impact of equality on urban mobility and its relation to diversity inclusion and equal opportunities.

The most advanced organizations in talent management seek to promote the integral wellbeing of the workforce and the people living with them. For this reason, there is increasing concern in detecting and analyzing how to meet real needs that affect the sustainability of teams, including equality and the inclusion of diversity, as a way to promote the competitiveness of organizations.

This research aims to identify urban mobility needs, combined with the gender preferences of employees, their time management requirements, and their personal needs.

Research article: “The perspective of men on gender equality in the Spanish workplace”

Equal rights are registered in Europe in all Constitutions, but it is still not the norm in the world of work. We have talked about professional equality for more than 20 years, but men’s voices and opinions are often not heard or sought, despite the fact that they occupy about 87% of the management committees of large companies. The Woman Forward Foundation, in collaboration with the Universidad Pontificia Comillas wants to analyze through this research the level of personal conviction of men in relation to gender equality, as well as the questions and concerns raised by this dynamic, seeking to identify what, according to men, companies should do to achieve more equality in companies.
