The Baseline Assessment Report aims to assess the perspectives of employees and Business Management members at Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and other organizations on the added value and the benefits of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I), to understand existing Diversity Management practices better, explore priorities and plans for further Diversity Management measures and assess Human Resources (HR) departments’ needs on the topic, at a managerial and organizational level. The assessment survey targeted SMEs and non-profit organizations in Greece and a limited number of public sector agencies. The Report is available in English and Greek.

The “Unconscious Bias in Recruitment” Guide, available online and in hardcopy, was created in the framework of the project on strengthening capacity building on Diversity, Equality & Inclusion(DE&I) practices for SMEs and non-profit organisations. More specifically, the Guide was based on English references and tools and on the content of the corresponding training session, implemented by Generation 2.0 RED between December 2023 and March 2024, with main participant being Greek SMEs and nonprofit organisations. The aim is to support organisations in Greece in implementing inclusive recruitment procedures, at all phases, while having minimised the impact of unconscious bias. It includes an introduction to biases and information on how they are developed, whereas it focuses on how to recognise them, with a reference to the most prevalent types, as well as on their consequences through the different stages of the recruitment procedure. The Guide is available in English and Greek.
