Women in Management Positions: K+S makes further Progress
For the third year in a row, the proportion of women in senior management at K+S has continued to increase. In 2013 the proportion of women in management positions in Germany came to 11.2% compared with 10% in the previous year. In 2010, the base year of the voluntary commitment of the DAX-30 companies to increase the proportion of women, the percentage was 7.2%.
“The figures show that the voluntary commitment to increase the proportion of women in management positions is working”, says Dr. Thomas Nöcker, member of the Board of Executive Directors of K+S Aktiengesellschaft responsible for personnel affairs. “We want to continue this positive development without rigid quotas”. K+S aims to increase the proportion of women in management positions by approximately 30% by 2020 compared with 2010. Thereby a proportion of women in management positions shall be reached which correlates to the share of women of the entire workforce.
K+S is a member of a working group of DAX companies which made a voluntary commitment to increase the proportion of women in management positions in 2011. The status report of the working group of the DAX companies can be viewed at www.arbeitgeber.de/fraueninfuehrungspositionen.
