Equality Plan Requirement: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if your company needs an equality plan and how it impacts your ability to bid for public contracts in Spain.
This requirement mandates that specific businesses establish a formal framework to ensure gender equality within their workplace.
Who it's for
This requirement is specifically designed for companies operating in Spain that meet a certain size threshold. If your business employs 50 or more people, you qualify as a company required to comply with these regulations.
What you get
The primary benefit of this scheme is a standardized framework for gender equality in the workplace. It provides a structured way for organizations to address equality issues and ensure consistent practices across the company.
What it costs you
Complying with this requirement involves administrative and professional costs. You will need to undergo an audit to evaluate your current situation and must complete the necessary registration in the REGCON portal.
The catch to know
The most significant risk for businesses is the impact on commercial opportunities. If your company does not have a registered plan, you may be blocked from accessing public tenders. This means you could lose the ability to bid on government contracts.
How to apply
- Review your current headcount to confirm if you meet the employee threshold.
- Complete the required audit of your workplace equality practices.
- Register your plan through the official REGCON portal.
