Abstrakt

The equal opportunities policy is attracting more and more supporters within Polish entrepreneur circles. Certain phenomena such as; the migration of professionals to EU countries, aging of the Polish society, new regulations prohibiting discrimination in the workplace on grounds of gender and higher levels of education among women in relation to men, have awoken much interest in gender equality issues at the present time. The implementation of these policies in enterprises will not only boost women’s role within the labor market, but also, provide a source of economic advantages and increasing benefits to employers. One of the tools intended to monitor gender equality in the workplace is the Gender Index. The aim of this article is to show the advantages arising from the implementation of an equal opportunities policy in enterprises with particular attention to the Gender Index.
