Correos: Bet on women

ACTIONS

Correos is fully engaged in promoting inclusive gender equality. It was the first Spanish State-owned company to hire female staff. Today, Correos designs and implements initiatives to address gender challenges.

• “Correos en Femenino”: a programme on women’s talent visibility with:
  – Sessions for employees on leadership, gender, new masculinities, co-responsibility;
  – Mentoring of 28 female post offices and centres managers;
  – “STEM Talks”, where female experts in science and IT deliver conferences at universities/schools encouraging women to go for STEM careers.
• Leadership School: training over 1,500 female managers on skills for people management.
• #8M All the Year: launched on 8 March 2022, this stamp collection is devoted to emblematic Spanish women who fought for gender equality. The stamps are shown in an itinerant exhibition across main post offices in Spain.
• Target Gender Equality: Correos participates in UN Global Compact’s accelerator programme for KPIs in female leadership.
