FINDING THE RIGHT MIX
Jotun companies face different diversity challenges in
different countries. For example, in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, where views on women in the workplace are
changing, Jotun has focused on gender diversity. Consistent
with a government initiative to increase female participation
in the workforce from an average of just under 20 per cent
to over 40 per cent by 2030, Jotun took steps to attract
more women. The company redesigned offices to make a
more welcoming environment and stepped up recruiting
efforts to attract top candidates. In addition, the company
featured existing female employees on its employer branding
promotional materials and encouraged them to attend job
fairs or recruiting events to meet with potential candidates
in person to share their experiences. In the past three years,
Jotun Saudia has increased the number of women from five
to 15.
