Avoda Shava ("Equal work") is an organization working to change professional culture in Israel and promote gender equality in the labor market. The company was founded in 2018 by Michal Mattes-Litmanovich and Tali Baral-Hess with the aim of creating a new social reality, which will allow both sexes a career and professional fulfillment alongside a satisfying family and leisure life. For employers, Avoda Shava works to help organizations in the public and private sector to adopt norms and practical tools in the way of diversity, balance, inclusion and equal opportunities.

Shaping the labor market of the future together

Cooperation with employers is at the core of the organization's activity, as more and more companies in recent years have been working to expand diversity and achieve gender equality both within and during the hiring process. Some of the organizations do this as part of their commitment to corporate responsibility, some out of understanding for the tremendous economic value that diversity brings with it or as a response to an internal organizational need.

The motives are often complex, but the bottom line is that most organizations are moving in this direction in the knowledge that this is where the future labor market is going. Furthermore, companies understand that this is a classic "Win-Win" situation: more satisfied employees, financial stability and higher profitability, and an egalitarian and pluralistic spirit that creates value for all of us as a society.

In order to assist organizations in implementing the process, Avoda Shava; offers a unique product that combines information and appropriate tools: the Equality Seal; - an innovative standard that includes research and mapping of the organization, a ranking in a industry comparative index, recommendations and practical tools for improvement, and support until the achievement of established goals.
