GENDER EQUALITY INDEX 2025.
INSERM TRANSFERT RECEIVES A SCORE OF 81/100 (1)
For several years, Inserm Transfert has implemented policies and steering indicators in the area of professional equality, enabling it to ensure equal treatment between women and men.
For the year 2025, maximum scores were achieved on three of the four indicators used to calculate the Professional Equality Index.
However, the age pyramid of our workforce for that same year did not allow us to achieve a satisfactory score on one of the indicators. Thus, the overall Equality Index score calculated for 2025 is 81/100.
To increase this index, Inserm Transfert is committed to strengthening its policies based on three areas: professional training, effective remuneration, and the balance between professional and personal life.
Inserm Transfert is determined to continue its process of continuous improvement and is continuing its consultation with staff representatives and employees with the aim of increasing this score.
