We are Priscilia and Gabriela, Project Managers of the Diversity Charter. Diversity allows us to benefit from the richness everyone brings to the workplace. It promises a competitive advantage to the organisations that seize this opportunity.
Did you know that implementing a diversity policy is strongly considered a "top-down" decision according to the latest Barometer "Diversity and Enterprise 2021"?
But does leadership in diversity have to come from the top? No. Regardless of your hierarchical status, each person can be a role model on these issues. Whoever you are, get involved in our diversity activities!
