Denmark’s only company prize for Diversity in the workplace opens this December

From December onwards Danish companies can compete to win Denmark’s only company prize for diversity in the workplace. In 2003 The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) launched The MIA-prize. MIA is the Danish acronym for „Diversity in the workplace“. The annual prize celebrates Danish private and public companies that through company policies and management have noticeably contributed to the promotion of diversity and equal treatment in the workplace.
Each year a jury of experts evaluates the competing business to find winners in three categories: small/medium public and private workplaces, large public workplaces and large private workplaces. The MIA-prize jury will select winners on grounds of what concrete actions they have taken to strengthen diversity and ensure equal opportunities for all – regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation. DIHR’s MIA-prize and diversity project was initiated on the basis of two EU-directives on equal treatment and with support from the EU.
