Diverse teams have a positive impact on the success of a company. Employees with non-straightforward CVs bring new ideas and different perspectives to a company. Have you already recognized the value of newcomers or career changers? Are you already involved in this area?
The University of St. Gallen, together with Avenir, has developed the "Career Empowerment" label to recognize companies and organizations that consider job seekers with non-linear career paths and value diverse team compositions. The label provides potential employees with additional guidance in their job search. The label will be awarded at the Career Relaunch conference on 2 June 2023.
Apply now for the label "Career Empowerment" of the University of St.Gallen and the Avenir Group.
If your company is involved in the field of career re-entry or repositioning, you can apply for the label. One of the following criteria must apply to your company:
Companies that offer jobs or internships for people with career breaks and non-linear CVs.
Companies that offer standardised re-entry programmes.
Companies that have a contract as a partner company or collaboration partner of the "Women Back to Business" programme.
Companies that support and promote the compatibility of work and family.
Boost for your corporate culture
The label is an obligation. It is intended to provide the impetus for your company to address, rethink and, if necessary, adapt its culture, values and processes (e.g. applications, recruitment, promotions, salaries, etc.).
The other employer branding
The label is an important factor in strong employer branding, for both job seekers as well as for employees. It underpins the image of a modern, responsible and agile company and can be used as both a marketing and communication tool.
«Orientation guide for job seekers.»
The label offers job seekers useful guidance in their search for the right employer.
