  Realisation: 2019-2021

The aim of this two-year project is to implement recommendations from gender audits in organizations that have already been a part of gender audit. The intention is to improve the use of gender equality among project partners, which are 5 small enterprises from the Zlín, South Moravian and Moravian-Silesian regions.

Activities are focused on promoting work and family life reconciliation, supporting women in the leadership, and turning corporate culture into gender-friendly. After implementation of the recommendation, re-audit will take place in the companies.


11.03.2021 Outputs from Gender Audits


After the end of the phase of implementing gender measures, a team of experts joined the project, which carried out an independent gender re-audit in all partner organizations. The aim of the re-audit was to verify what outputs were achieved in the project, what was the progress in the field of equal opportunities.

The team collected information from employees and evaluated documents, public presentation, etc. The results are more than satisfactory, we managed to implement fundamental changes in companies. E.g. we managed to introduce flexible working hours, home-office, we managed to break some gender stereotypes.

23.07.2020 Working together – are we really? Snippets from project implementation


The project aimed at putting gender measures into practice has successfully reached the next phase. Over the past almost 18 months, the implementation team has gradually helped to put in place measures to implement equal opportunities for women and men and to support the reconciliation of work and family life in the five partner organizations.

Despite restrictions on operations in some companies during government measures against the spread of COVID-19, the project was successful. The next phase is a re-audit, i.e. verification whether the equal opportunities measures are being applied in the participating companies.

According to the goals set at the beginning of the project, all individual measures were met. E.g. company HYDROMA spol. s r.o. piloted the operation of a staff incubator to prepare employees for career growth and included this strategy among the applicable guidelines. In the Borák Development company and in the Augustiniánský dům hotel, they launched the Trust Box and enabled employees to anonymously bring suggestions or draw attention to risks in the workplace. At PKS servis, they broke gender stereotypes in August 2020 by hiring a woman as a sales and technical representative. Dental Laboratory MUDr. Aleše Káňa has issued a Code of ethics, which expresses its values and obligations not only to their employees but to the outer world as well.
