The mYXt network: helping to make business more gender-diverse

Inclusion for all talents

Created in 2018 by women positioned in executive or strategic managerial positions, the mYXt network quickly opened up to men. The network now includes nearly 10% men, who are agents of change and are committed to thinking about and implementing actions to promote gender equality at VINCI Construction.

Two key findings:

  1. The work of increasing gender diversity in the VINCI Construction group is very slow, and some issues persist: glass ceiling, imbalance between private and professional life, ordinary sexism, etc.
  2. Actions are to be continued or initiated in the area of recruitment and career management, including the monitoring of initiatives to promote access to management positions.

The members of the network are convinced that skills and values are genderless. They want a business model that reflects society and ensures fair treatment. They believe that a gender-diverse company is more successful, more innovative and more sustainable.

An interaction-driven community that is committed to professional equality on a daily basis

Today, this interactive community is helping to make the company more gender-diverse by arranging times of interaction and experience sharing. It polls requirements and suggestions for measures to promote greater gender diversity. Members also share information, news and best practices, both internal and external, on their internal exchange channels (Teams and Yammer) to help shake up the status quo.

We want to foster a constructive discourse and make a positive contribution to the issue of gender at a time when the company and our leaders are ready for change.

The mYXT network is run by a central “Core Team”. Its active, committed members play a central role in the community. It also brings together the main players in the management of VINCI Construction entities on issues relating to professional gender diversity and equality.

Proactive actions are needed to accelerate inclusion and gender diversity, such as:

  • Awareness raising and information, which is a basic requirement,
  • The sharing of experience, which contributes to open-mindedness,
  • An action plan and quantified indicators, which must be shared transparently.
