The Women's Network was set up at the U. S. Steel Corporation in 2008 as one of the voluntary interest groups among the employees, aiming to support women's professional fulfillment by optimizing the working environment, including creating conditions for their further development. According to the results of the survey carried out among employees in 2013, U. S. Steel Kosice is considered as a responsible employer providing above-standard working conditions for the employees, and women make up 17 per cent of the total workforce. The aim of the Women's Network's new survey, which will be distributed to women employees in the next few days, is to find out which Company benefits they appreciate most, and where they see potential for further professional self-realization.
