Personnel Structure
The majority of jobs at HHLA are in a segment of the labour market in which men are traditionally employed and women are proportionately less represented. The positive trend of the previous years continued in 2016 and the ratio of women employed by HHLA in Germany increased once again (including apprentices). At 15.4 %, the ratio of women employed by the company was 0.2 percentage points higher than in the previous year (15.2 %).
Based on the German Law for the Equal Participation of Women and Men in Leadership Positions, the Executive Board had already set a target quota of 25 % for women in first-level management positions directly beneath the Executive Board in the previous year (status as of 31 December 2016: 17 %; previous year: 15 %). A target of 30 % was set for second-level management positions (as of 31 December 2016: 26 %; previous year: 21 %). The date set for achieving these quotas is 30 June 2017. see also Corporate Governance
