DE&I Management – Aktuelle Entwicklungen und Hand­lungs­mög­lich­keiten
Diversity matters. Yet companies in Germany are clearly struggling to achieve greater diversity in management positions. Politicians are increasingly using gender quotas to address these shortcomings. Other countries, meanwhile, are further ahead and already considering additional diversity criteria. Julia Prokop, Sören Seidel and Kristina Walter discuss the latest political developments in Germany and beyond. They also talk about the legal options and constraints when using surveys to assess diversity in companies and how to implement di­versity-re­lated affirmative action in a legally compliant manner.
