The Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper on Saturday quoted DaimlerChrysler personnel director, Günther Fleig, as saying that when job cuts affect a woman, the company tries to find an alternative position for that person.
Flieg told the newspaper that at the end of the current workforce reduction process, the proportion of women employed by the company would be higher that it was before the start of the process.
DaimlerChrysler is targeting that 12.5% of its German workforce should be women, and that the proportion should rise to 15% by 2010.
Meanwhile the proportion of women in management positions at DaimlerChrysler Germany has risen from 3.6% in 200 to 5.9% today – a proportion that the company would also like to see increase.
