At the end of 2018, a new monitoring tool for gender equality was implemented by the French government that lays out five measurement indicators to evaluate companies on a scale of 100. This new government programme also makes it mandatory for companies with at least 1,000 employees to achieve a minimum score of 75.
In 2018, Printemps achieved a global score of 93 out of 100. This shows the company's desire to maintain its efforts in combatting occupational inequalities, with the help of its social partners. It is also part of its CSR approach.
The five new gender equality indicators are:
- Elimination of wage gaps between comparable positions and ages
- Equal chances of getting a pay rise
- Equal chances of being promoted
- If salary raises have been allocated during maternity leave, female employees should get the same raise when returning to work
- At least four women in the top ten best paid positions of the company
