CzechGlobe management believes that high quality employees contribute significantly to success of an institution. Therefore in CzechGlobe, a considerable attention is devoted to human resources development and management. A well performed human resources management is perceived as a pre-condition for a successful and effective management of the organization as a whole.
The four-year long project EGERA (Effective Gender Equality in the Academia and Research) funded by Framework Programme 7 forms a part of activities aiming at enhancing development and management of human resources in the organization. The project focuses on structural change promoting gender equality.
The current Gender Equality Action Plan (GEP) follows the plan from 2014, which was one of the first implemented by a Czech research organization.
