What is the current situation regarding gender equality and diversity within Västerbotten's industrial companies and what is needed to create attractive workplaces? This was the question in the survey of the equality situation that has now been carried out within Västerbotten's industrial and forestry companies. The goal was to identify important efforts regarding gender equality and diversity in the industrial sector in Västerbotten going forward. The results were completed in autumn 2021 in the report "Attractive workplaces in Västerbotten – gender equality and diversity".
The survey was carried out in three parts:
1) Mapping the current situation and needs of industrial companies in Västerbotten
2) Inventory of studies, research situation, experience and good examples around Sweden
3) Proposals for activities that can be carried out with the industrial companies in Västerbotten going forward
The assignment is a collaboration between the Sustainable Industrial Environments of the Future and the Forest Technology Cluster's project Company-driven forest innovation and the mapping has been carried out by the company Vkna. A reference group with representatives from Region Västerbotten, Umeå Municipality, RISE, the County Administrative Board and IF Metall has also contributed to the work.
