Research Council publishes gender equality plan

The Faroese Research Council has published an action plan for gender equality and diversity.

Gransking.fo writes that the plan seeks to “promote equal representation of women and men, the avoidance of gender-specific disadvantages, the filling of job openings on equal terms oriented on the quality of the applicants at all qualification and employment levels, and the optimization of the reconciliation of work and family for the employees of the Faroese Research Council”.

“To achieve gender equality in the workplace, organisations first need to understand the importance of gender equality,” says council director Annika Sølvará.

“They also need to identify where change is needed, followed by a plan and implementation of actions that will achieve progress. All of these aspects are included in our new action plan.”
