Equal pay: Another Swiss company certified

The EOC Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale has received the Equal Salary Certificate. This award represents a symbol of excellence in equal pay for all employees. After a successful statistical analysis of salaries, EOC underwent an internal audit to prove that the company applies equal pay between women and men. The audit was conducted by PwC.

The Equal Salary certification is valid for three years, during which the company must undergo two surveillance audits. After three years, if the company wishes to retain the seal of approval, it must renew the certification process with a new salary analysis and a full on-site audit.

Signal for the Ticino healthcare sector

"EOC's Equal Salary certification is excellent news for the healthcare sector in Ticino. By putting values into action, EOC is promoting gender pay equity and putting the pioneering values of diversity and inclusion into practice. We hope this certification will inspire the healthcare sector to follow suit," commented Lisa Rubli, Co-CEO of the Equal Salary Foundation. "At EOC, achieving this important certification is the first step in a broader journey to continuously improve the quality of women's working conditions and gender inclusion. 67 % of our employees are women who ensure the high quality of our healthcare services with their daily work," added Glauco Martinetti, CEO of EOC.

PwC also recertified for equal pay

The fact that auditing companies are also setting a good example is demonstrated by the fact that PwC has also received certification, and for the second time. "The Equal Salary recertification is an important component of our I&D strategy and I am very proud of our success in building an inclusive and diverse environment at PwC," commented Andreas Staubli, CEO and Territory Senior Partner of PwC Switzerland, on receiving the certificate.
