Javier Benavente, President of Alares, and María Eugenia Girón, President of the Foundation for Diversity, contributed their testimonies to the preparation of the Diversity in Management Handbook.
Javier Benavente highlights his views on the importance of work-life balance and equal opportunities, assessing which measures are essential to achieving genuine work-life balance in companies. He also explains which services for balancing personal, family, and professional life every Work-Life Balance Plan should include.
He emphasizes the importance of emotional salary in a company's income statement, explaining that continuous and consistent communication is vital for translating it into benefits.
In legislative matters, although Javier Benavente recognizes that we have witnessed significant advances promoted by the European Union and Spain in the areas of equality and diversity, public administrations must nevertheless continue making progress. They must create the right environment for companies to promote Strategic Plans that address and embrace different forms of diversity and facilitate Work-Life Balance Plans suited to their employees and circumstances, making a special effort with SMEs, as they account for more than 85% of our country's workforce.
Regarding Diversity Management, the president of the Foundation for Diversity, Maria Eugenia Girón, explained how Diversity Management is becoming a competitive advantage in the digital revolution.
In an increasingly smaller world, internationalization, the need to address highly diverse customers in new segments (demographic, cultural, etc.), and the impact of technology are generating new business challenges. For María Eugenia, good diversity management increases the likelihood that a diverse team will better understand the end consumer. In the words of the President of the Foundation for Diversity, in a new economy shaped by the digital revolution, a company's most valuable asset is its people and its scarcest resource is talent.
Talent is the fundamental competitive advantage that differentiates us in the market. Properly managing differences within teams is becoming more than ever an intangible aspect of the brand. In an increasingly diverse and changing society, this value enables a company to attract, recruit, retain, and motivate the best and most qualified people—the best talent.
