What can I do as as an employee in administration and technology?

As an employee in administration and technology, you shape your own working environment as well as that of your colleagues. Here you will find some ideas on how you can contribute to promoting equal opportunities in administration and technology.

Skills acquisition

(Gender) clichés and biases influence us all. Take advantage of the information and further education programmes offered by the University of Kassel to expand your own gender and diversity skills and to contribute to a more conscious and sensitised learning and working environment for everyone.
Use the annual appraisal to assess your own career prospects.

Information

Inform yourself about the options available to you at the University of Kassel to adapt your working day to your needs.
Approach your superiors with your needs and find solutions for your individual requirements together.

Organisation and administration

Well-established structures and administrative processes can simplify workflows and make processes transparent. At the same time, however, these established processes can also cause exclusions and unintentionally lead to structural discrimination. To counteract this, you can initiate a process in your area of responsibility to take a critical look at the workflows: Where might gender and diversity aspects be relevant to these processes? Where can structures be made more inclusive and therefore perhaps more accessible for everyone?
Contribute your ideas to participative processes at the university, e.g. in committees.
