Atos recognized for its commitment to women’s advancement in the workplace

Atos has been named to the Best Companies for Women to Advance List 2020 according to Parity.org.

This list recognizes organizations that have implemented a mix of exemplary benefits, policies, and programs that ensure women have significant opportunities to advance their careers. Companies that made the 2020 list share several common best practices that are significant in helping women balance work and home life. Several criteria are considered such as recruitment, benefits, executive preparation, measurement, and representation.

The Atos Group recognises the fundamental importance of work-life balance for a better quality of working life and business performance. The French company rolled out a range of initiatives across all its territories to support women at all levels, with a specific focus on helping talented women build rewarding careers. These initiatives include the Women Who Succeed program, gender balanced talent management programs and executive mentorship to prepare women to succeed in senior management positions.

Atos aims for gender parity in its recruitment applications in the upcoming years, has more than doubled the number of women Group Executives in 2020, and will decrease the gender compensation gap each year.

Paul Peterson, Global Head of Human Resources, Atos said:

“I’m proud that Parity.org has recognized Atos at this time. We have clear focus and energy to achieve gender balance across Atos, with programs designed to attract, develop, and retain talented women. We have a marked increase in the percentage of women in senior level roles. Parity.org’s pledge has helped us to keep our eyes on the prize to achieve this goal”
