People First: Diversity as Our Strength
At Tepsa Iberia, we believe that diversity plays a vital role in our growth and success. Every individual, with their unique background, skills, and perspectives enriches our collective journey. Yet recognising this is not enough. True inclusion requires commitment, action, and a shared vision for an equitable workplace where everyone feels valued.
This belief is the foundation of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan – a roadmap to building a better future, together.
Why Does Inclusion Matter?
Our commitment to DE&I is not just about “doing the right thing”. It is about creating real opportunities:
- Innovation through difference: teams with diverse perspectives are 35% more innovative and deliver better results.
- Workplace harmony: a sense of inclusion fosters greater job satisfaction, trust, and engagement.
- Better reputation: being inclusive makes us better partners for our customers and a more attractive employer.
By embracing DE&I, we are not only improving life at Tepsa but also making a positive impact on the industry and society.
A Snapshot of Where We Stand
We started with an honest look at ourselves. Over 80 team members from across our terminals shared their thoughts during open sessions, highlighting both strengths and opportunities for growth:
- Areas of focus: age inclusion, disability awareness, and support for good work-life balance.
- Unconscious bias: this key topic shows the need for open dialogue and understanding.
These insights are not just challenges – they are chances for us to learn, improve, and create a workplace where everyone feels included and valued.
Concrete Steps, Real Actions
Our Diversity Plan focuses on meaningful actions that will make a difference. Here is what we are putting in place:
1. Support for All Generations
- Senior Well-being Programme: tailored initiatives to ensure employees over 50 feel supported, valued, and engaged.
- Cross-mentoring: connecting younger team members with more senior staff for knowledge-sharing and to build stronger bonds.
2. Empowerment for Women
- Closing the gap: annual plans to monitor and reduce gender pay disparities.
- Developing female leaders: targeted programmes to support and encourage career growth.
3. Health and Accessibility
- Inclusive support: adjustments for individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities to ensure they thrive at work.
- Flexible policies: work-life balance tailored to family and health needs.
4. Creating a Culture of Belonging
- Workshops and training: helping everyone identify unconscious bias and embrace inclusive practices.
- “The Tribe” initiative: a voluntary group of six employees representing all our work centres, who champion diversity and provide valuable feedback to help us move forward.
Measuring Progress: Turning Words into Results
We believe in accountability. That is why we have introduced clear KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to measure our success:
- Representation: tracking diversity across all levels of the organisation.
- Gender parity: monitoring pay equity and opportunities for advancement.
- Employee satisfaction: annual surveys to ensure every team member feels included and heard.
Together, We Are Building a Brighter Future
Let’s make it happen – together.
