Mutua Universal, has participated in Malaga in the presentation of the sixth edition of the Observatory of Working Womena study carried out in collaboration with the People and Business Foundation that annually analyzes the presence and activity of women in various aspects of the work environment such as occupation, the wage gap or teleworking, among others.
The director of the People and Business Foundation, Bernabe Perez, was in charge of leading the conference, held with a large influx of public in the conference room of the Confederation of Employers of Malaga (CEM) and focused on the well-being of women at work.

The act began with an inaugural table that had the institutional presence of the executive vice president of the Confederation of Businessmen of Malaga, Natalia Sanchez, which highlighted the “importance of training in equality and the visibility of professional women”; the director of the Andalusian Women’s Institute, Olga Carrion Mancebo, who underlined the “advances in real equality between men and women,” despite the fact that “issues such as reconciliation, which is of great concern to Andalusian women, and education” are still pending; the territorial delegate of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality of the Junta de Andalucía in Malaga, Ruth Sarabia; the Deputy Minister of Health and Consumption of the Junta de Andalucía Miguel Angel Guzman, who valued his experience as a manager in the Andalusian Health Service, “where 71% of the people employed are women and 47% of management positions are held by women”; and the president of the People and Companies Foundation and of Auren Consultores, Javier Quarry.
For his part, Laura Canton, territorial director of Mutua Universal in Andalusia, thanked “the opportunity provided by the Confederation of Businessmen of Malaga” to present this “report resulting from the collaboration agreement that we signed in 2017 with the People and Business Foundation.”
