STRUCTURE, EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY

The Standing Committee on Equality recorded no incidents related to equality and/or harassment in 2016.

The influx of new members joining the Standing Committee for Equality led to the organisation of a training effort on general equality issues addressed to all staff.

Furthermore, the three-year Equality Plan, which ended this year, has been extended. This was an opportunity to review all actions undertaken and implemented in recent years.

BENEFITS

Given the economic context, and in compliance with the instructions of the Executive Committee of the Interministerial Commission on Remuneration (CECIR) and the relevant legislation, the APB had to cut the budget allocated to social benefits for all workers, the social fund.

Also in accordance with the regulations, the pension plan for APB employees was suspended throughout the year, without the company being able to make any contributions.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STAFF

In 2016 staff numbers increased year on year, due mainly to the recruitment of temporary staff under the agreement, while the number of staff not covered by the agreement increased slightly.

Some of the main features of the workforce at the end of the year are:

• The gender split of 70% male and 30% female.

• The age range of most workers in the group is 51 to 60.

• Workers with more than 30 years' service at the APB are the most numerous.
