With our Equality Ambassadors, we carry out projects based on equality and inclusion such as gender-equal employment, career development, and employee support mechanisms.

#YükOlmasın

The many tasks we consider ordinary in daily life turn into care work and mental loads that cannot be carried alone when combined and piled up. Sharing the invisible weight of care work, shouldering the mental burden together, reasoning together to make life equal, makes responsibilities no longer a burden or strength.

 

As Fiba Group, we support equality in care work, just as in every other area.

 

What do you say about hearing the unspoken, taking responsibility, and sharing the load to create equality in life?

 

Share it so that #YükOlmasın!
