We celebrate International Women’s Day with all women and men.
Equality is not a women’s issue. It concerns all of us. Men and women, in both the private and professional sphere. Equality is the foundation for a healthy and flourishing society, for equal opportunity and fairness.
We are all responsible for it every day, in everything we do. This is why UPC as a company stands for gender equality and actively works to support it.
We are #EachforEqual.
No matter which gender, age, or origin, our employees are equal. We expect and encourage this on a daily basis through:
- Equal pay for men and women
- Flexible working hours
- The option of working from home
- Part-time work
- Flat hierarchies
- 17 weeks of maternity leave (with 100% salary)
- 10 days of paternity leave / adoption leave (with 100% salary)
- Diversity in regard to gender, age and origin
UPC IS DONATING TO “GIRLS IN TECH”
Equality also means equal access to the world of work: the non-profit organisation “Girls in Tech” is working to end gender inequalities in high-tech industries and start-ups. It does this by training and supporting women who are interested in technology. UPC as a telecommunications provider is pleased to have female apprentices in all areas of the company and would like to contribute in an even bigger way.
For every subscription we sell, we will donate CHF 20 to the Girls in Tech non-profit. Be a part of the change and get your UPC Mobile subscription which operates on the fastest network in Switzerland.
