EMPA
Empa has been working on the subject of equal opportunities since the 1990s, and for more than ten years, it has set out measures and actions in plans to support equal opportunities. One of the main concerns in the action plans is to increase the proportion of women in leading positions. This is necessary because the proportion of women in the STEM professions, which dominate at Empa, is generally rather low, and is even declining significantly in leading positions.
WSL
We promote diversity and inclusion at the workplace through various measures, some of which are centrally coordinated, while others are initiated by the employees themselves. Click on the topics to learn more about the great variety of programs at WSL.
