Gender Equality
The Norwegian Railway Directorate works actively to promote gender equality and has a Gender Equality Plan in place for this purpose.
Active efforts to promote gender equality and prevent discrimination are mandated by the Gender Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act, the Working Environment Act, the central government’s framework agreement, the central government’s collective agreements and the government’s employer policy.
Gender Equality Plan
The Norwegian Railway Directorate has an action plan for gender equality. We have identified all the areas mentioned in the legislation and have implemented measures to adress them. This applies to recruitment, pay and working conditions, promotion and development opportunities, reasonable adjustments, and the opportunity to balance work and family life. In addition, we work to prevent harassment, sexual harassment and gender-based violence.
