Is the Polish labour market a place of fully implemented
equality or are there still observed cases of discrimination
against women? Why is diversity, including
gender diversity, so important for a company?
The answers for these questions comprise the subject
of this study analysis. The presented below refl ections
constitute a voice in the debate concerning managing
diversity, which was initiated in Poland by the project
Gender Index carried out within the framework of the
Community Initiative EQUAL in the years 2004–

indicator of equal treatment of women and men in
the workplace. The results of the studies carried out
within the framework of the Gender Index project
are presented in this paper in order to illustrate the
observance of equal treatment of women and men in
the enterprises operating on the Polish market.
