Fundamentals: Structures

Equality of opportunity does not emerge on its own. In contrast, the unequal treatment of individuals often occurs without any conscious intention. Moreover, in complex organizations, there are often structurally determined inequalities entrenched in norms and actions without being visible. These instruments provide a way of recording qualitative criteria and quantitative parameters relating to equal opportunities in the company.

A high degree of self-determination in the choice of working conditions supports employees at all hierarchical levels in aligning their professional activities with other areas of life and its associated responsibilities. On the one hand, access to external or in-house childcare services and the option of job-sharing play a central role in supporting compatibility.
