Demonstrating a commitment to diversity in the workplace
Preventing discrimination and promoting equal opportunity: are these two goals part of your commitments? Your company promotes diversity, and that is to its credit.
Equality and inclusion
What is diversity in the workplace?
Diversity in the workplace is a broad concept, ranging from strategies to combat discrimination to workplace equality. By discrimination, we mean racial, ethnic, religious, age-based, or physical discrimination. From recruitment through to day-to-day life in the workplace, diversity must be present at all times and at every level.
If diversity embodies a key value, it is that of leveraging differences to drive performance. A company seeking to promote a diversity policy must balance human values with concrete actions, with a view to continuously improving its human resources management.
Showcase Your Commitment with the Diversity Label
The Diversity Label aims to recognize respect for diversity in the workplace. Through this voluntary certification program, each organization can demonstrate its commitment to diversity in relation to the 25 grounds for discrimination defined by law.
The Diversity Label has several objectives:
- Promoting unifying human values
- Contribute to and support social dialogue
- Promote local roots
- Reflect the diversity of clients and/or users, and more broadly, of French society
This certification is administered by the General Directorate for Employment and Vocational Training (DGEFP), in collaboration with the General Directorate for Administration and the Civil Service (DGAFP). If an audit and subsequent evaluation confirm compliance with diversity criteria, the certification is awarded for a period of four years.
