# Gender Equality Plan 2024–2027

It From Bit d.o.o. publishes this Gender Equality Plan as a formal institutional document. It satisfies the Horizon Europe eligibility criteria for GEPs and reflects the firm's commitment to gender equality in research, innovation, and consulting practice.

## Process requirements

- The plan is a public document, signed by management, published on the firm's official website.
- The plan is supported by dedicated resources (time and budget) for implementation.
- The firm collects sex/gender-disaggregated data on personnel where collection is consistent with applicable privacy law, and evaluates progress on an annual basis.
- All staff receive training on gender equality and unconscious bias.

## Thematic areas

1. **Work-life balance and organisational culture**, flexible scheduling and remote work as defaults; explicit anti-bias norms in team interactions.
2. **Gender balance in leadership and decision-making**, actively seek qualified candidates of underrepresented genders for partner-track and decision-making roles.
3. **Gender equality in recruitment and career progression**, structured interviews, objective evaluation criteria, transparent compensation bands.
4. **Integration of the gender dimension into research and teaching content**, when conducting research or producing teaching materials, consider gender-relevant variables and avoid implicit androcentric assumptions.
5. **Measures against gender-based violence including sexual harassment**, clear reporting channels, zero-tolerance policy, training for all staff.

## Action plan

- Annual review of the GEP by management.
- Annual sex/gender-disaggregated reporting on hiring, promotion, and compensation, where data is collected.
- Public publication of the GEP and updates on the firm's website.
- Designated point of contact for gender-equality matters: management.

## Compliance and accountability

This document is the firm's binding institutional position. It is reviewed annually and updated as needed. Questions or reports of non-compliance should be directed to info@itfrombit.biz.
