Guia de Auto-avaliação da Igualdade de Género nas empresas--Self-assessment guide on gender equality in companies

This guide is a tool that allows companies to diagnose their policies and practices with regard to equality and non-discrimination between women and men, conciliation between professional, family and personal life and maternity and paternity protection, identifying the areas requiring future intervention. After contextualising equality between women and men with specific emphasis on its importance as one of the dimensions of corporate social responsibility, the guide presents a set of advantages in the implementation of a gender equality policy as well as in the usage of this tool. As general guidelines, it identifies success factors of the self-assessment process and explains the dimensions around which the questionnaire is structured as a diagnostic tool. The detailed presentation of the questionnaire is followed by guidelines on verifying and analysing results and also on perspectives of future plans of action in different areas of intervention. Trata-se de um guia de auto-avaliação destinado a empresas que pretendam conhecer a situação dos homens e das mulheres a nível interno com vista ao desenvolvimento de acções de melhoria em matéria de igualdade de género e não discriminação, conciliação entre a vida profissional, familiar e pessoal e protecção da maternidade e paternidade.
