disproportionate participation !!

• How to undo disproportionate participation ? DIVERSITY POLICY

No unequivocal definition!!

“Policy where the differences between people are acknowledged and appreciated. To manage diversity means not only a passive tolerance towards diversity, but is, ideally a management that is willing (and capable) to support and stimulate an increasing heterogeneity”

(Emancipatiezaken, Vlaamse Gemeenschap)

“SELOR must (a) take into account and (b) use the diversity within our society (within its total functioning). Managing diversity as a strategic process - both externally (candidates) as well internally (staff) - ensures in its minimum form equal chances. Its basic intention however lies in the ‘employment’ of this diversity capital (growth and results). A project approach aimed at target groups (gender, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, …) allows to convert this process in a concrete methodology (with a focus on competences).”
