Governance and Operations

Development of Policies

The Center has developed a Code of Conduct on Harassment and Sexual Harassment in the workplace (ENG/GR), which serves as a guide for all members of the University community and outlines the procedures that are to be followed in case of harassment and sexual harassment. You can learn more about our Actions on Harassment here. The Center is currently developing a Code of Conduct on Language Use, which will promote the use of gender-sensitive language and reduce gender stereotyping and discrimination.

HR practices

In 2015, Frederick University was certified by the Ministry of Labor, Welfare and Social Insurance as an equal opportunities employer. The University participated in the project "Actions to Reduce the Remuneration Gap between Men and Women", was evaluated by the Department of Labor Relations of the Ministry, and was one of the first organisations to be certified in 2015 as “A Good Practices for Gender Equality in the Work Environment Employer”.

Ongoing training of staff

Frederick University is deeply committed to cultivating a culture of gender equality, inclusion, and mutual respect. In collaboration with P²DF (Personal and Professional Development @ Frederick), the Center organizes training sessions available to all university staff.
