RARA Foundation – Gender Equality Plan

Live from 01/05/2025 | Reviewed yearly | Horizon Europe Compliant (yes, we read the rules)

1. What We Stand For

  • We believe in equal chances, real fairness, and zero nonsense.

  • Equality here isn’t a checkbox — it’s just common sense.

  • Talent rises, and we make sure no one gets blocked by outdated habits or invisible walls.

2. Our Game Plan

a. Work, Life, and Balance That Works

  • Flexibility isn’t a perk — it’s the norm. Remote work, parental leave, life-friendly schedules: everyone gets them.

  • Respect isn’t optional. We keep things professional, supportive, and chill.

b. Leadership Without the Boys’ Club

  • Leadership seats aren’t reserved. We track who’s at the table and support smart people of any gender to join it.

  • Committees and decision-making groups should reflect real diversity — not because we’re forced to, but because it works better.

c. Hiring & Growth That’s Fair by Design

  • No buzzwords or bias in job ads.

  • Panels = mixed. Promotions = based on what you bring, not what you look like.

  • Career growth is clear, open, and backed by actual support.

d. Zero Tolerance for Harassment

  • We’ve got a clear, working system to report issues — anonymously if needed.

  • Annual training keeps the team sharp, respectful, and aligned with our standards.

3. How We Track It

  • Annual stats on gender across roles, pay, leadership, and leave.

  • Transparent dashboards (internal), real accountability.

  • If something’s off, we fix it — fast.

Equality isn’t red tape. It’s just how we run things better.

Want to join in? Good. Let’s build it right.
