Das Fachmagazin PersonalQuarterly deckt seit vielen Jahren das Thema Diversity nicht nur regelmäßig ab, sondern bietet dabei auch eine kompetente Mischung von Wissenschaft und Praxis. Die aktuelle Ausgabe beleuchtet Diversity und Innovation, kulturelle Vielfalt sowie eine europäische Forschungsübersicht. Das Wichtigste in Kürze.
Es könnte so schön und einfach sein: Vielfalt feiern, bunte Ballons und lachende Leute. Alles gut. Wer Diversity einseitig bearbeitet und nur als Business Case darstellt betreibt nicht nur Etikettenschwindel – er (oder sie) wird auch rasch an die Grenzen von Glaubwürdigkeit und messbarer Erfolgserwartungen stoßen. Das zeigen sowohl die langjährige Entwicklung wie auch die […]
At its launch, the ERASMUS programme was revolutionary and provided literally unbelievable mobility. After 30 years, the stats and results are impressive. However, the look-and-feel of ERASMUS reports and events suggest a political and administrative focus rather than a celebration of a European spirit and integration. Other initiatives, like Pulse of Europe, show enormous spirit […]
For the second time, the Spanish Diversity Foundation recognised employers in different categories for their D&I work. The award-type ceremony formed part of a larger event that also included a Social Responsibility label and the signing of the Diversity Charter.
For twenty years, D&I was demanding inclusive behaviour and high ethical standards from dominant groups while running programmes for women and minorities. The analysis shows that this has to be reversed: D&I leaders should role model their ideals and work a lot more with the mainstream majority.
D&I is stuck in routine, generic strategies and a copy-and-paste mentality. This analysis shows how a lack of relevance to the business and too much regulation is limiting the scope and impact of Diversity. A new business focus can bring back the change into D&I and unleash intrinsic energy.
It felt as if overnight many achievements of 20 years of D&I work were ruined when nationalistic and post-truth campaigns received support and were partially successful. A root cause analysis shows how badly managed globalisation and virtualisation led to fragile communities. D&I has the power to offer an alternative – but for that, it needs […]
The European Union’s Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has introduced a new online resource for Gender Statistics. It aims at serving as a comprehensive knowledge centre for gender statistics on various aspects of (in)equality between women and men. Initial tests show that the focus of the database is more on general demographics and public policy […]
A large-scale survey in some 100 companies and other organisations from 10 EU Member States investigated, among other fields, the variety of Diversity Management practices of immigrant inclusion and their direct and indirect effects. The focus was on migrants from so-called Third Countries. The research also looked at constraints and criticalities as well as mechanisms […]
Jung, begabt und fleißig – und dennoch kaum Chancen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Dies ist die Situation vieler junger Flüchtlinge in Deutschland. Denn bürokratische Barrieren verhindern die Nutzung der Potenziale. Das soll sich nun ändern. Orientierung und Perspektiven schaffen, das ist das Ziel eines Ende Juli durch das Bundeskabinett gefassten Beschlusses. Demnach bräuchten Asylsuchende künftig keine […]
