We have chosen to work within four specific areas to increase diversity and equality within the company: recruitment, inclusion, governance and mentorship
When recruiting, we aim to build the best, most dedicated team by hiring the most qualified candidate. To reduce bias, including unconscious bias, and increase objectivity, we anonymise incoming applications, removing names, photos and ages, for example. We have also excluded cover letters from our application process, as these often contain personal information not relevant for the job, making the process fairer and more inclusive. Finally, we use assessments to evaluate skills and potential, ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants and helping us make a fairer and unbiased evaluation of their match with the job.
It is important that our commitment to diversity is reflected at all levels in the organisation, from the Board of Directors and Group Management to our employees in all countries. We currently have an equality target for each gender to make up at least 40 per cent of the organisation. The current gender-balance between women and men on the Board is 43/57 and in Group Management 71/29.
An open and inclusive corporate culture is supported by both sound values and good examples within the company, by clear guidelines and by long-term targets. We believe an organisation that represents diversity is better at allowing employees to use their personal strengths and to express their needs. We disassociate ourselves from all forms of discrimination.
Since 2018, Dustin has been actively involved in “Mitt Livs Chans,” which is a Mitt Livs mentorship programme. This has meant all Dustin employees are offered an opportunity to mentor an academic with a foreign background. These mentorships help us to expand our network when recruiting and we can help job seeking academics with a foreign background to enter the labour market. They also increase awareness and knowledge about inclusion and diversity in the organisation.
