About the Diversity in the Workplace Network

In close collaboration with our supporters and stakeholders from the Greek labour market, we have developed modern actions that aim at a holistic support of the private sector in Greece and focus on business sustainability and as well on equitable  access to work, following European standards. More than 90 companies and organisations tangibly support our action by entering the Diversity in the Workplace Network.

The Employability service, with which Diversity in the Workplace is closely associated, provides Job Readiness programs and Career Counselling to people of migrant background, focusing on ensuring a smooth transition according to the needs and the culture of the Greek labour market.

Besides the beneficiaries’ preparation to join the labour market, the Diversity in the Workplace initiative has been structured to help prepare employers in terms of good practices of equitable treatment and inclusion in the workplace towards corporate sustainability and innovation.

Upon entering the Network, our supporters can benefit from the “Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace” trainings , stay up-to-date with legislation, seek candidates through the pool of beneficiaries from the Employability service of the organisation, reevaluate their recruitment procedure and adapt their job adverts accordingly, promoting thus inclusion in their workplace and ensuring equitable opportunities to their employees, to act and evolve in a modern workplace.

With the motto «Embracing Diversity», in 2019, the first Greek Diversity and Inclusion trademark was created, hosted on the websites of the companies and organisations of the Network highlighting the inclusive attitude of its members.

A few words on our history:

The “Diversity in the Workplace” was initiated in 2017, aiming at equal access to the Greek labour market for people of different cultural backgrounds. This initiative was an integral part of the “Livelihoods for vulnerable populations in an Inclusive Labour Market”, implemented by Generation 2.0 for Rights, Equality & Diversity and supported by the International Rescue Committee until February 2020.

Since March 2020 and until August 2021, the Diversity in the Workplace was part of the project “Equality Works” implemented under the Active citizens fund programme.
