Imagine Foundation's WOMEN-MEN equality index
Pursuant to the Professional Future Act of September 5, 2018, Imagine publishes the results of its gender equality index within the Imagine Foundation.
The gender equality index within the Imagine foundation is 82 points out of 100. "This is a very satisfactory result, notes Laure Boquet general delegate of the Imagine Institute. But we must continue in this direction and thus reaffirm our desire to guarantee professional equality between women and men and to promote diversity and professional mix.
To find out more
This index evaluates the professional equality between women and men within companies in the form of an overall score out of 100 points, which each company calculates from the following 4 indicators :
- Pay gap between women and men
- Gap in the proportion of women and men receiving raises
- Percentage of female employees receiving a raise after returning from maternity leave
- Number of employees of the underrepresented gender in the top 10 highest paid
Below the 75-point threshold, the company must define and implement corrective measures within three years.
