6.2 Social benefits and reconciling private and professional lives
6.2.1 Advances in social benefits
We continue to strive to develop measures which meet the needs of our employees. We are the first company in Spain to provide the employment rights available to married spouses to common-law couples.
At Eroski common-law couples benefit from equal rights and we have made progress in social benefits, to the chief advantage of women.
The last two years have seen progress in social benefits, to the chief advantage of women:
- Flexible working hours to boost non-stop working.
- Action protocol for muscular-skeletal injuries.
- Permission to leave work to accompany family members to the doctor.
- Harassment: confidential, prioritised treatment based on a prevention protocol.
- Application of the law in situations of gender violence, supporting change of workplace, the processing of personal leave, justified absence and changes of jobs.
