Human Resources and Equal Opportunities

Human resources are the key to achieving excellence at VŠE. A high quality and motivated team of academic and administrative staff is essential for the development of our education, research and prestige. That is why we focus on effective human resource management that promotes equality of opportunity, professional growth and work-life balance. We create an inclusive and equal working environment that enables our employees to reach their full potential and contribute to the long-term success of the Prague University of Economics and Business.

On this page you will find key documents relating to the management of human resources and the support of equal opportunities at the VŠE. These materials represent the strategic direction and concrete steps to achieve equality, inclusion and professional human resources management at the VŠE.

2. Equal Opportunities Plan

The Equal Opportunities Plan at the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE) for the years 2023-2027 is a follow-up to the Equal Opportunities Audit, which was conducted at the Prague University of Economics and Business on the initiative of the university management from June 2022 till the end of November 2022. The audit carried out at the VŠE consisted of the following parts, which are also the starting point for setting the specific measures and objectives of this action plan for the period 2023-2027, with an annual evaluation and a final evaluation in the last year of the period:

• content analysis of documents,
• statistical analysis of the employee population,
• quantitative (questionnaire) survey,
• qualitative (field) research.

The content analysis of the documents took place at the VŠE during the summer and was mainly carried out by the staff of the Office of the Vice-Rector for Education and Quality Assurance and Gender Studies, o.p.s. The audit report is thematically divided into 5 areas, the so-called thematic axes, which are also largely respected in the structure of this Action Plan:

• Thematic Axis 1: Gender equality in leadership and decision-making positions,
• Thematic Axis 2: Gender equality in recruitment and career development,
• Thematic Axis 3: Work-life balance, organisational culture,
• Thematic Axis 4: Integrating the gender dimension into research and educational content,
• Thematic Axis 5: Preventive measures to prevent negative behaviour.
