The Union trains its employees against gender violence

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, held every November 25th, La Unión has developed a training plan aimed at its employees with a single objective, to contribute to the eradication of violence against women.

Through this awareness campaign, the Union plans to reach more than 500 employees of production and handling, through ten training workshops held in its facilities. During the training they will learn the necessary resources to prevent, identify and combat gender violence.

The learning module is divided into four blocks:
– Differences between gender violence, domestic violence and sexual violence.
– Prevention of gender violence through education.
– Service of protection against gender violence.
– Healthy relationships

The Director of Talent Management of La Union, Naty Contreras, tells us that “both at home and at work we should feel safe. However, currently in Spain there are many women who continue to suffer gender violence. That is why from 20 to 30 November will be taught in our company such training, to remind victims of gender violence that there is a way out. From La Union we want to put our grain of sand to eradicate this scourge”.

The campaign is included in the Corporate Social Responsibility Plan of La Unión, specifically in the Equality and Social and Labor Inclusion Projects section, with which the company intends to contribute actively and voluntarily to social, economic and environmental improvement.
