“Es parte de nuestro ADN…” (Spanish) ”We moeten inspelen op de verwachtingen van onze veranderende wereld…” (Dutch) „Im Herzen der wissenschaftlichen Methode“ (German) « Sprawiedliwe traktowanie wobec wszystkich - prowadzi do motywacji i wydajności » (Polish) “Lavorare in un ambiente di rispetto reciproco valorizzando “l’inclusività”…” (Italian) «Είναι ένα από τα ισχυρά μας σημεία, αλλά χρειάζεται συνεχώς να καλλιεργείται...» (Greek) « Créer des conditions offrant des chances égales à tous… » (French) “It’s part of our DNA…” “It’s about creating a level playing field…” “It’s at the heart of the scientific method…” “It’s one of our strengths but needs to be continually nurtured…” “We need to respond to the expectations of our changing world…” “Fair treatment for all – leads to motivation & performance…” “It’s about working in a spirit of mutual respect & inclusiveness…” Diversity - What does it mean at CERN? CERN – sdc/sk – Induction December 2012

CERN VALUE Diversity “Appreciating differences, fostering equality & promoting collaboration” CERN’s excellence derives from an environment in which the knowledge and perspectives of a diverse workforce are valued and dialogue is encouraged at all levels. CERN Code of Conduct CERN – sdc/sk – Induction December 2012

 Optimally diversified workforce to achieve the goals of a world laboratory  Creativity & Innovation through the ‘collision’ of diverse ideas, perspectives, approaches – at the heart of the scientific method  Work environment & behaviour that reflects the Organization’s value of diversity in all its policies, procedures & practice AIMS of the Diversity Programme CERN – sdc/sk – Induction December 2012

 Appreciating differences  leveraging the added value that comes from bringing together people of different nationalities, genders, professions, ages, skills, backgrounds, perspectives … and enabling them all to contribute to their full potential  Fostering equality  optimising talent & performance through a leadership culture that focuses on fair treatment and rules out all forms of discrimination and bias  Promoting collaboration  creating an inclusive work environment based on mutual respect & exchange where individuals feel encouraged to participate actively without the need for groupings or associations that foster separateness.
