Training for the municipal enterprise "Poltavaelectroavtotrans"

Respecting women’s rights in the workplace is not only a standard, but also an opportunity for companies to create a safe, fair and equal working environment for all.

To implement such changes at municipal enterprises that have become partners in the project for training and employing female bus drivers, the She Drives team conducted a training on gender equality and social inclusion for employees of the municipal enterprise “Poltavaelectroavtotrans”.

The event was the first step towards implementing modern workplace standards aimed at creating a safe, comfortable and fair environment at enterprises that will employ female participants in the She Drives project.

The training covered the following key topics:

– the impact of team diversity on productivity and decision quality;

– work-life balance;

– ensuring equal pay;

– preventing and combating harassment in the workplace;

– effective practices for supporting equal opportunities for women and men;

– ways to increase tolerance and mutual respect in the team.

Similar training events were also held for two more pilot municipal enterprises – the municipal enterprise “City Trolleybus” in Kryvyi Rih and Lviv ATP No. 1 in Lviv.
