Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Management Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, In Nijmegen

GEM focuses on the challenges related to managing gender equality, diversity and inclusion in organisations, designing interventions and giving content to the social responsibility of organisations.

Organisations today have to deal with an increasingly heterogeneous workforce, due to developments such as migration, emancipation, ageing, and international cooperation. The inclusion of men and women, older and younger colleagues, people from different ethnic backgrounds, religions, various educational backgrounds and different sexual orientations has become an issue for employees and managers in modern organisations. To attract and retain a diverse workforce, to realize equal opportunities for all and to create an inclusive organisation in which people's needs for uniqueness and belongingness are met, are key challenges for organisations. Valuing all talent and using everyone's full potential has beneficial effects for individuals, organisations and society.
