| Short description | In 2011 Austria’s national broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), investigated the position of women in its organisation and found a widespread gender imbalance. While women make up 42% of its workforce, they are concentrated in programme-making rather than in technical positions. In higher management there are very few women, with only 11% of regional studio directors and 22% of central heads of department. There were no women at all on the executive board. Conversely, they made up two-thirds of part-time employees. To address this situation, in 2012 the ORF introduced a six-year gender equality plan. It aimed to promote gender equality and women’s careers, to abolish existing discriminations, to enable reconciliation of family and work for women and men, to achieve a share of 45% of women in those areas where women are underrepresented, and to increase women’s share in technical professions. The plan’s implementation was monitored every year and discussed by the Gender Equality Commission, Central Works Council and all employees. |
