Blue Media becomes an ambassador of the Women's Republic

Blue Media has been proclaimed an ambassador of the Women's Republic. The Sopot-based company has been thus rewarded for its cooperation with the Women's Republic Foundation (Fundacja Republika Kobiet) in organising the "Equal Opportunities Employer Tri-City 2011" poll.

Equal Opportunities Employer Tri-City 2011 is a poll organised in the Tri-City by the Women's Republic Foundation. Its objective consists in drawing public attention to the phenomenon of pay gap. 'Women employed on the same job positions as men often earn less than men', says Piotr Janiszewski, vice-president of the Foundation. 'We dispose of results of studies showing that in the Pomorskie Region women earn even 50% less than men', adds P. Janiszewski.

Blue Media decided not to participate in the poll, but provide financial support to the organisers instead. 'Our employees are remunerated according to their skills and dedication to the job irrespective of their sex', says Dominika Kotuła, HR Manager at Blue Media. 'By supporting the activities of the Foundation we want to show that we disapprove of unequal treatment of employees', adds D. Kotuła.

Blue Media employs over 70 specialists in various fields. 26 women are employed by this IT company and they occupying various positions, including managerial ones. The company takes good care of its employees, for example by giving them access to a private sports club and organising various health-related educational events.
