Equality and diversity

Acknowledging and accepting diversity in relation to e.g. age, gender, ethnicity, language and neurodiversity improves organisation’s productivity, innovation and service quality and enhances wellbeing. It is also an important factor when reducing unemployment and social inclusion.  The Finnish legislation obligates private and public sector organisations to pay attention to improve gender equality and diversity of all employees and in their services.

Our specialists have wide ranging experience from all aspects of equality and diversity work and KoulutusAvain is one of the leading gender equality and diversity expert organisations in Finland.
