In our working life, we take lots of decisions. Sometimes, our decisions may affect other people’s professional situations directly as well. Think of an application by someone, and imagine that you are the person who will select the “right” candidate. What do you look at first in this application? What would you ask during the interview? Scientific studies have proven that decision-makers might be affected negatively by their unconscious biases when involved in selection processes. These are often based on mistaken, inaccurate, or incomplete information. Reflection and some exercises can assist you in becoming aware of these beases and breaking these habits. This document will help you! This guide has been created for all those who are involved in the selection processes for activities in the ENHANCE Alliance, such as summer schools, staff weeks, wokshops, seminars, training offers, mobility activities, or any other cross-border educational activity.
The annual report “Diversity and Gender Equality in ENHANCE” demonstrates the status quo on diversity and gender equality within our Alliance.
