Progressive policies
Norway is renowned for its progressive gender equality policies, including generous parental leave, gender quotas in corporate boards, and strong anti-discrimination laws.
But the importance of exploring gender diversity in organisations and careers extends far beyond any single country's borders.
`Understanding the real impact and effectiveness of these policies requires continuous research. Exploring gender diversity in this context can provide valuable insights into what works and what still needs improvement, ensuring that policies remain effective and relevant´, Professor Astrid Kunze says.
`Our project, EquiFirm, aims to understand the cost-effectiveness of these policies from the firm's perspective, exploring their impact on social equality´, Kunze says.
Some programme highlights:
This two-day workshop, taking place in Auditorium P, aims to bring together leading scholars, researchers, and professionals to discuss and disseminate cutting-edge research on gender diversity in the workplace.
