1. Papa, don’t leave: maternity and paternity at work
Legal framework in Switzerland
Maternity leave: 14 weeks after giving birth;
No right to return to work within the first 8 weeks;Compensation: 80% of salary, but up to a maximum of CHF 196.00 / day (i.e. cap at monthly
salary of CHF 7’350.00).
Paternity leave: 1 day (i.e. day of birth)
Parental leave: Does not exist!
Reduction of work quota is a career killer.

3. Getting women on board: women’s quotaMember state level
Soft (best efforts) – hard (regulation):
Target from 20% (Italy) to 33% (France)
(Non-executive) directors
Reporting obligation/comply or explain
No sanction or carrot approach (Portugal) – dissolution of
company (Norway)
EU levelProposal Directive (2012 2017):
Target 33 or 40%, December 2022
Non-executive directors of companies listed on stock
exchanges
Procedural rules: recruitment procedure, priority rule and
information duty
Reporting obligation/comply or explain
Flexibility clause for MS: effective enforcement measures
Quota’s are a ceiling on the employer’s obligations whichwhen satisfied ends the discussion as well as
advancement of the quotas’ subjects.
Do you agree?
4. Leading by example: advance third gender equality
* Does mandatory binary allows compliance withthe equal treatment right?
* Standing up for women rights as opposed to men rights - impact
* Gender / sex
* Principle of human self-determination – gender recognition/acceptance as a human rights matter?
Policy Other
5. Breaking bad: measures to prevent discrimination
Clear diversity policy at all levels
Allocate responsibility
Set targets
Board composition
Diagnose data and remedy ills
Diversity & leadership training
Diversity officer
Facilitate flexibility
Anonymous job application could be a solution for preventing hiring discrimination.
Do you agree?
Solutions: fake vs real
6. Key take away: ongoing work in making progress
New challenges are waiting ahead
but slow progress on the old…
Strong case for closing GPG,
women’s quota and longer leaves
but are we treating the symptoms rather
than the illness…
Prevention on company level is a
good start
if it translates in action involving all
stakeholders…
