The Gender Equality Plan of UAB BrachyDOSE (2021–2025)

The aim of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP) is to ensure equal opportunities, safe, and respectful working environment for all UAB Brachydose employees. We focus on the principles of the gender equality and non-discrimination regarding sex, religion, personal life in our work environment. Although the balance of men and women in our company is fair, globally the situation is not satisfactory, which highlights the importance for the GEP implementation.

The analysis of gender distribution in UAB Brachydose shown that the genders are represented almost equally: there are 60% female and 40% male among employees. Furthermore, in leadership roles we have 50%/50% balance as chief executive officer is female and chief technology officer – male.

The Law on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men seeks to develop and implement certain measures regarding gender equality in Lithuania, which applies to all types of organizations and employers. Article 5 under chapter II describes the objectives the employer must commit in order to ensure the non-discriminatory work environment for the employees. UAB Brachydose is obliged to follow these requirements in our daily activities.

Republic of Lithuania Labour Code defines the employee’s rights related to the working hours and working conditions for every person.

The responsibility to promote and implement the GEP in UAB Brachydose is mainly for chief executive officer, however, in case of organizational growth, Human Resources or other dedicated employees will also be involved in GEP monitoring process. Then the number of employees exceeds 10, the specific person for GEP monitoring will be assigned.

The measures mentioned in this plan will help to achieve better equality between men and women, to update recruitment process, avoid discrimination at work, and suggest a greater work and life balance for all employees. Specific activities for achieving the set objectives will be incorporated in the annual action plan and monitored by UAB Brachydose CEO.
