Counseling
We believe that an attractive work environment can be created when all employees are offered equal opportunities for participation, regardless of gender, age, origin, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.
These factors influence how people interpret information, approach problems, and develop solutions. Particularly, the diversity of perspectives, experiences, worldviews, and skills that employees bring to the table contributes significantly – as widely confirmed – to a company’s innovation capacity.
To achieve this goal, various measures can be taken. A gender analysis, to gather relevant data and information on gender equality issues, always serves as the starting point. Based on this foundation, action options and goals are derived, and measures are developed, implemented, and evaluated. Together with you, for instance, we can create a customized gender equality plan for your company, which is mandatory for research funding applications under Horizon Europe. Additionally, we can assist with the development of a mentoring program, the implementation of diversity management, onboarding measures, diversity training, or other actions resulting from the gender analysis, tailored to individual structures and contexts.
The new call for proposals by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology “DIVERSITEC,” supports companies in initiating gender equality-promoting projects with total costs of up to €50,000, with funding ranging from 50 to 70 percent depending on the company size. Applications can be submitted continuously.
