Gender Equality & Employee Wellbeing
PERTAMINA led the way in promoting gender equality and employee wellbeing in the workplace. Every employee has an equal opportunity to develop a career based on competency considerations and performance assessments. Two of our six Board of Directors are female and more than 16% of our senior management level are woman leaders.
PERTAMINA guarantees equality in the recruitment process, and that it is carried out free from gender bias. We ensure that there are no restrictions for female candidates to be included in any selection process to fill vacant management or senior positions and increase the number of female talents to be recruited, especially in areas where the number of women is still small.
Employment relations in PERTAMINA are built with respect to human rights. We assure a zero percent gender pay gap between male and female in remuneration, guarantees female employees' rights to return to work at the same position or equivalent after completing maternity leave, and facilitates the needs of female employees who carry out double roles as mothers and as workers. Training and education for employees are carried out comprehensively, including soft competency and technical competency. Competency development activities are carried out using a blended learning approach by emphasizing the use of information technology. The Company also organizes mental training, financial management and skills training for retiring employees
PERTAMINA also has its eyes set on the building upon its existing empowerment program, which will pave the way for people with disabilities to join the company through our recruitment program. We recruit new employees that take place transparently, without discrimination on gender or from other diverse backgrounds
PERTAMINA's efforts to develop gender equality initiatives (diversity and inclusion) and women's empowerment have also been strengthened through the formation of PERTIWI (PERempuan PERTAMINA Tangguh Inspiratif Wibawa Integritas) in 2021, which carries out programs including increasing the capacity of PERTAMINA's employees (cross-exposure mentoring, webinar series, sharing sessions), preparation of leadership cadres at PERTAMINA (Coaching for Aspiring Female Leaders, Focus Group Discussion, and PERTIWI Award), and social contributions both nationally and globally through the development of womenpreneur, scholarships, voluntary days, as well as external and internal partnerships.
In addition to initiatives within the company, PERTAMINA also contributes to various women's empowerment programs and people with disabilities program through Corporate Social Responsibility. All initiatives that have been carried out by PERTAMINA are expected to further assist the company in terms of talent development, company performance, and internal and external synergies to support the implementation of ESG and SDGs.
