Promotion of Women to the Managing and Supervisory Boards and Senior Positions
Kapsch TrafficCom AG has no specific plan for promoting women to the managing board, the supervisory board or senior positions in the company and its subsidiaries. Candidates are always selected with a view to identifying the best person for the job, regardless of gender. Women are employed in various senior positions throughout Kapsch TrafficCom AG (such as head of finance and administration) and its subsidiaries. In November 2010 the works council delegated a female representative to the supervisory board.
Women are supported through a flexible working hour scheme that is designed to combine professional and private life. In addition, Kapsch TrafficCom cooperates with schools, universities and colleges in order to increase the female quota. It also engages in gender mainstreaming through participation in specific programs such as "FIT Frauen in die Technik" or "FemTech". A specific trainee programm "Women into sales" has been established. The Kapsch TrafficCom Group has established a committee for gender mainstreaming.
