Five bh. companies and institutions, Klika, Unija, Orbico Beauty, McCann, and Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, today received the certificate ‘Excelling in Diversity’, which confirmed that they provide equal opportunities and working conditions for all groups of society, regardless of their characteristics and social status. The pioneers in job creation, following the world’s best standards of diversity and inclusion, were awarded certificates by representatives of organizations that promote and work daily to improve human rights – Sarajevo Open Centre (SOC), Otaharin, and Foundation 787, which are gathered in the D&I coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are happy to witness today that there are companies and institutions that care about the position of marginalized groups in our society. By obtaining the certificate, they emphasize that they are our allies who can greatly influence the change of social consciousness and be leaders in ensuring full inclusion, providing equal opportunities for marginalized groups in society, just like those who are not. Today we showed the public that some are ready to turn our differences into a force that strengthens our economy\u201d said Aida Malki\u0107, SOC Program Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in the certification process is for companies and institutions to turn to the D&I coalition with the desire to reform and operate by world best practices. The methodological approach, which is designed so that all companies can participate in the process, regardless of size, sector, or level of development, prescribes the steps to certification. After a detailed analysis of the situation, interviews with management and employees of the company, the data is analyzed and a report is produced containing detailed recommendations that the company or institution needs to fulfill to successfully implement these policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is always good to be the leader of changes, and when they lead to the betterment of society and the position of our citizens, the satisfaction is greater. We are glad to be recognized as a company that has woven inclusion into its business. In this way, we have enabled members of marginalized groups to be economically independent and to recognize us as those who believe that every individual can contribute to the prosperity and development of BiH society as a whole, “concludes Vesna Vla\u0161i\u0107 Jusupovi\u0107, director of McCann Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The D&I Coalition, as well as the companies and institutions that received the ‘Excellence in Diversity’ certificate, invited others to BiH companies and institutions to apply for the certification process because by excellence in implementing standards of diversity and inclusion they can achieve the best results in their business and be recognized as leaders of social change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
