DIVERSITY
Media Prima is commited to diversity in its workplace
which has a balanced mix of employment types, contracts,
gender and races. The Group does not tolerate any form
of discrimination based on race, creed, disability, gender,
marital or maternity status, religious or political beliefs, age
or sexual orientation. Decisions on hiring, salary, benefits,
advancement, termination or retirement are based solely
on the co-worker’s performance at work. 16.72% of the
management team at Media Prima are women.
COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT AND FREEDOM OF
ASSOCIATION
Media Prima works closely with the Union and its employees
to ensure that they enjoy their right to be informed, monitor
and be included in the decision-making process. This helps
safeguard their rights and interests as well as providing a
greater sense of ownership of their work. We encourage
transparency and openness in the workplace.
