Provident Financial The Best Woman of the Region 2009 “The aim of the competition Woman of the Region is to reward the women, who are working all over the country for the well-being of the communities in which they live,” said Aleš Janků, Director of Communications of Provident Financial. “We would like, by the title Woman of the Region, to thank these women for their hard work for the community in their regions, often done without the claim of any remuneration. We liked very much the idea of the competition presenting exceptional women from different parts of the Czech Republic because our company is governed by the British corporate rules. This also means that women who are working for us do have the same working conditions as men,” said Janků. There is no gender inequality or discrimination in Provident Financial. We try to go along with needs of women who are starting or returning from the maternity leave, so they can continue with their careers. Upon the parent leave in order to stay in touch with the business, they can keep the company belongings such as company mobile phone etc. After returning from the maternity leave we actively enable the mothers to work part-time or to have contracts which allow them to spend as much time as they need with their families, “said Janků.
The winner of the competition Woman of the Region for 2009 with the 9859 of votes was Mrs. Liběna Hrešková from the village Rouské at Valašské Meziříčí. The award was given on August 24th, 2009, at Prague Hotel Ambassador, from the hands of Aleš Janků from Provident Financial, the main partner of the competition.
