Wengage programme

Wengage Empowering Diversity

Wengage is our diversity programme. Developed by people from all parts of CaixaBank, it promotes and highlights meritocracy, equal opportunities and gender, functional and generational diversity.

Wengage concentrates on fostering gender equality, internally by increasing the number and visibility of women managers in the organisation, and externally by publicising equal opportunities and the value of diversity.

Engaging and making everybody aware

In our social and professional relations and communications, we share a range of videos and other materials such as the Egalitarian communication: the challenge of inter-personal relationships guide (Opens in a new window) , published in 2018 and in which we consider the unconscious bias, restricting beliefs and gender stereotypes in our society.
We have a Diversity Manifesto (Opens in a new window) which contains CaixaBank's commitments in this area.
We also have developed GenterTEST, an educational tool to enable us to carry on external communications free from gender stereotypes.

Contributing through HR processes

We promote gender diversity in management promotion processes, in the talent committee and in our pre-management programmes.

Making diversity visible in the organisation

Through women managers' networking sessions in which new initiatives in the Wengage programme are discussed.
Through our network of equality agents.
And by publishing news on the corporate intranet, highlighting the work of women managers and successful collaborations as a source of inspiration to the rest of the team.
