Estratégias para inclusão das mulheres na área de manutenção no setor de transporte rodoviário

Abstract

The environmental, social and Corporate Governance (ESG) is willing to achieve sustainability for the society, noticing that organizations whose only goal is to maximize the financial profits, certainly impact in a negative way everyone's life and are not convenient to society. Considering that, besides profits, the shareholders also expects business perennially, this subject has become, finally, the key point in the company evaluation process. This paper has focused on the social aspect of ESG, by looking at women’s inclusion in roles predominantly manned by men, in this specific case in the asset maintenance department of road transportation companies. Through the realization of surveys, interviews and benchmarking we sought to understand, in a qualitative and quantitative way, the challenges for inclusion actions and, subsequently, what these actions would be. The results have shown that sexism is a big challenge for this inclusion, however there are ways to make it feasible. The answers at the survey show that despite the fact that prejudice exists, women have shown willingness to insert themselves in this market and men are open to share the workplace. The big challenges are still regarding affirmative actions and to have women with technical qualification to work in the maintenance department of road transportation market. A big accomplishment of this work is that after these results, the SEST SENAT started a class exclusive for women to training them as assistant mechanics, as well as the opening of a job position as assistant body repairer at Unida, with a publicity that appeals to the female public. In this way, we conclude that the challenge is real, and that sexism difficult the inclusion of women in functions performed predominantly by men, but that solutions are feasible for their inclusion in the maintenance of companies in the transportation market.
