Ricardo Valencia, General Manager of Tierras de los Andes, attended this important event organized by the Lima Chamber of Commerce, which brought together representatives from the public and private sectors, as well as civil society, with the aim of reflecting on gender equality in the workplace, business sustainability, and the importance of preventing workplace sexual harassment (WSH).
These types of spaces allow for the sharing of experiences, learning from other sectors, and committing to real actions that transform workplaces into more equitable, safe, and sustainable environments.
This dialogue aimed to reflect and generate proposals on three key issues in the workplace: gender equality, business sustainability, and the prevention of workplace sexual harassment (WSH).
Likewise, during this event, the book “Between Speech and Action: Revealing the Hidden Costs of WSH in Private Companies in Peru” was presented, authored by Mg. Arístides Vara Horna. This publication analyzes the impact of workplace sexual harassment (WSH) on business profitability and reveals the hidden costs this issue generates within organizations.
Among the most relevant findings are alarming figures that show how WSH not only violates human rights but also directly affects productivity, safety, and the economic sustainability of companies.
Additionally, the event featured discussion panels focused on best practices in the implementation of the Peruvian Technical Standard on Gender Equality and the experiences of collaboration between public and private sectors and civil society to build safe, inclusive, and violence-free workplaces.
