In 2024, the average index of Docaposte entities is 87/100

The Professsional Gender Equality Index is calculated on the basis of 5 indicators:


  • The gender pay gap
  • The individual payrise gap
  • The gender promotion gap (only for companies with more than 250 employees)
  • The number of employees receiving a payrise following maternity leave
  • Gender parity among the 10 highest salaries

Docaposte continues its strong commitments on the subject of parity

Since 2019, Docaposte has been part of the approach of the LA POSTE Group, which has reaffirmed its dynamism in terms of gender equality, through the establishment of its “Un.e” Parity network.

The 2024 results of the professional equality index between women and men for Docaposte legal entities demonstrate the success of the action plans implemented collectively in several of these companies since 2023.

Thus, of the 16 entities of the DOCAPOSTE group concerned by the publication of the index, the average is 87 points.

In total, 15 companies have a score greater than 75 and 13 entities have a score greater than or equal to the score of 85 points.

In addition, the real motivation of Management and managers as well as the ambitions defined in the action plans allowed an improvement in the scores of the previous year: The majority of legal entities improved their results, including certain companies of more than 10 points.
