Daher for her: Women’s careers taking off

Why Daher for her?

Daher for her is built on a strong conviction: diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives drives performance, innovation and attractiveness. At a time when professions are evolving and competition for talent is increasing, strengthening the representation of women is a competitiveness issue for Daher.

The aim is not only to attract more women to operational and technical roles, but also to enable them to build career paths aligned with their aspirations and, if they wish, progress into positions of responsibility.

This is precisely what Daher for her is about: taking structured and coordinated action through initiatives that are managed, measured and designed to deliver lasting impact across the Group.

What is Daher for her?

Daher for her is structured around three complementary pillars covering every stage of the career journey.

• Recruit more women

The objective is to attract more women to our professions, particularly operational and technical roles, and strengthen their representation at every level of the company.

• Develop careers

Daher for her aims to support female talent throughout their professional development and foster access to new opportunities and positions of responsibility.

Evolve our leadership culture

Daher for her also aims to evolve everyday practices to create an environment in which everyone has the same opportunities to progress. Managers have an essential role to play in bringing this ambition to life.

Increasing the representation of women is not simply about numerical targets. It is something we build every day through recruitment, development and management decisions.

In practice: actions already underway

Daher for her is not starting from scratch. Several initiatives are already underway, with others to follow in the coming months, directly supporting the program’s three pillars.

“Daher for her enables us to structure the initiatives already underway around three shared priorities and accelerate their deployment across the Group. Our objective is to sustain this momentum over time and translate it into concrete, measurable progress,”
— Elsa Allo, Daher for her Program Manager

• Leadership culture: engaging managers every day

Because management practices play a decisive role in career development, Daher for her notably aims to give greater visibility to women’s career paths. The objective is to drive lasting change in practices and perceptions throughout the company.

A mentoring program is also being introduced: volunteer managers and executives can support female employees in their professional development, share their experience and help remove some of the barriers to career progression.

• Recruitment: strengthening attractiveness and widening talent pools

Among the first initiatives, a partnership will be signed at the very beginning of December to encourage more women to pursue careers in aerospace and defense.

Other actions will focus on evolving recruitment practices, including tools designed to reduce bias and the introduction of gender-diverse interview panels.

• Career development: identifying and supporting talent and opening up new opportunities

An initial People Review dedicated to female talent has already brought together HR teams and several Group executives. It helped identify high-potential female employees and initiate discussions on ways to accelerate their careers within Daher.

From early 2027, Daher will also roll out a leadership development program to support female employees in strengthening their leadership skills and visibility and preparing for future management responsibilities.

Mobility committees will also pay particular attention to the representation of women in certain management positions, helping open up new career opportunities across the Group.

A collective ambition

Daher for her is driven and coordinated at Group level, but its success depends on our collective ability to bring it to life every day. Women, men, managers and teams all have a role to play. The program is designed to evolve, draw on initiatives developed locally and be brought to life by each and every one of us.

The ambition is clear: to enable everyone to find their place, fulfil their potential and have access to the same opportunities for career progression. A collective movement to sustainably build the Daher of tomorrow.
