Diversity and equal opportunity

In Caja Madrid the commitment to diversity and equal opportunity affects every person in the organisation without regard gender, ethno-cultural background or religion.

Last year the organisation underwent a diagnosis by independent experts as a preliminary step toward implementing our Equality Plan, and employee representatives were approached to reach a consensus on the plan and on a protocol for preventing sexual and other forms of harassment on the job.

In 2008 Caja Madrid was once singled out as an “Equal Opportunity Partner" in the Óptima Programme of the Spanish Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. The distinction is a testament to our vigorous ongoing commitment to policies, measures and procedures that promote gender equality. Noteworthy in this regard, women now account for 46% of the workforce and a full 60% of the new persons joining the organisation.

The Caja Madrid family of professionals now encompasses people from 31 different nationalities. Such workforce diversity is a key factor that enriches the personal and career development of employees, while allowing us to make sure our non-Spanish customers are served by persons who are familiar with their language and culture.
