« The fight for gender equality should be a thing of the past, however it is still very much relevant. For Polygone too there is still a lot to be done. The significance of such a project is even more valuable to my mind.»
What can you say about joining the PA program?
We chose to join Positive Actions to officially perpetuate the social policy within the company in an accessible way, using the program’s 3 main themes of equal treatment, equal decision-making and reconciliation between private and working lives. One message was particularly important for us: Jobs at Polygone are not men’s jobs or women’s jobs, they are open to all.
We wished to increase the number of women in technical jobs and reduce stereotyping. In addition, parental leave and part times have been at the heart of our concerns. We have reassessed our approach to teleworking and flexible hours specifically to promote gender equality. At the end of the day, gender equality at work is not about taking away power from one individual to give more to another.
Focus on the company
Polygone is a player in the sectors of modular structure rental and sale, dismantling, gates and fences, parks and gardens and waste management, and currently employs 250 people for an annual turnover of 23 million euros.
Polygone’s specificity and strength reside in its capacity to offer project owners the possibility of taking over side businesses to be able to focus on their core business.
