Equality and Anti-Harassment Plans

At Ayuela Jiménez, we advise your company on the development of tailored strategies that promote a safe and equality-driven work environment, while ensuring compliance with current regulations.

Safe and inclusive work environments

Equality and Anti-Harassment Plans are key strategies for businesses. They promote equal opportunities for men and women in areas such as recruitment and work-life balance, among others, and prevent and eradicate workplace harassment in all its forms. These measures are designed to protect employees and minimise long-term reputational risks.

By implementing these plans, you ensure that your company complies with the established law and contributes to improving the work environment and team productivity. We offer advice both in their design and implementation, always considering the needs of the organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory for my company to have an Equality and Anti-Harassment Plan?

Yes, Spain’s Equality Law establishes that all companies with 50 or more employees must have an Equality Plan that includes specific measures to ensure equal treatment and opportunities between men and women. Additionally, the Anti-Harassment Plan is a general obligation to ensure a safe work environment.

How long does it take to implement an Equality Plan?

Equality Plans can take anywhere from a few months to a year to be implemented. The timeline depends on the company’s size, whether there is legal representation for employees, and the time required for the diagnosis, design, and final implementation of the measures.

What risks are involved in not having an Equality and Anti-Harassment Plan?

Beyond the potential legal and financial penalties, the company will be unprotected against labour lawsuits and internal conflicts that can harm both the company’s productivity and its reputation. Without an adequate protocol, legal defence may become more complicated.

What measures can be applied to protect victims of harassment?

Among the various measures to protect victims of harassment, the creation of confidential reporting channels, psychological support for victims, and the implementation of detailed action protocols to handle the situation seriously and avoid reprisals against the affected individuals are included.
