In 2017, a new staff performance evaluation system was introduced, and a new diversity policy is currently being developed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Austrian labor law, a series of federal laws concerning IIASA and international organizations in Austria provide the institute and its employees with a range of immunities and privileges. This allows IIASA to offer competitively advantageous employment conditions compared to Austrian employers (Austrian federal law and official gazettes: BGBl. Nr. 117\/1973; BGBl. Nr. 677\/1977; BGBl. Nr. 344\/1978; BGBl. Nr. 476\/1978; BGBl. Nr. 441\/1979; BGBl. Nr. 219\/1981; BGBl. Nr. 609\/1990; BGBl.

These policies are contained in the IIASA handbook and staff rules and regulations (sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the IIASA Operating Procedures and Policies).

The process included taskforces that collected and analyzed employment data at IIASA, conducted surveys and interviews, delved into diversity literature, and prepared reports, as well as diversity-focused discussions at meetings and retreats. The purpose of this exercise was the definition and institution of a set of policies and administrative practices that both set and achieve targets for increased diversity throughout the workforce, and foster a workplace environment that accommodates diversity in all its forms.<\/p>\n<p>A Diversity Taskforce produced a draft Diversity Policy, which included both statements of principles and aims, and called for the development of diversity goals, timelines, and strategies. In 2017, the Council issued Resolution 696 in support of ongoing and planned actions. This includes the formation of a holistic diversity strategy that will be developed by IIASA with the assistance of an external consultant. The initial terms of reference would be an assessment of diversity, an analysis and benchmark of diversity compared with other organizations, and the development of a vision for a more diverse workforce. The Human Resources department will report back to Council on the ongoing progress and planned actions by November 2018.<\/p>\n<p>To underline the importance of offering equal opportunities, IIASA explicitly states its commitment to a working environment that promotes equality, diversity, tolerance, and inclusion within its workforce in all job advertisements, and encourages qualified candidates of both genders and from all religious, ethnic, and social backgrounds to apply.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, IIASA staff continued to benefit from the services of the Institute Counselor, a Human Resource Consultant and Cognitive Behavior Therapist, for confidential support with the challenges and opportunities related to living and working in an international scientific environment. In her capacity as work psychologist, she also provides coaching and counseling related to cultural and social diversity and work environment issues. The Institute Counselor provides twice-yearly anonymized updates and statistics to management to address any issues that may arise.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed figures regarding gender balance by age and by level of employment for scientific and administrative staff are shown in the infographic.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=&#8221;Divider 15 px e.g. under 1 button&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;0px&#8221; height=&#8221;10px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; global_module=&#8221;1055&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_toggle admin_label=&#8221;Objectives&#8221; title=&#8221;IIASA guidelines and regulation for good scientific practice&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#0c71c3&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#0c71c3&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#0c71c3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; border_color_all=&#8221;#0c71c3&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; max_width=&#8221;93%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2px|20px|2px|2px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px|30px|15px|15px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;450ms&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin: 4px;||padding: 15px;&#8221; global_module=&#8221;704&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_text et_pb_module et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left et_animated et_pb_text_12 fade\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><span class=\"gti-match gti-match-paragraph gti-match-paragraph-34\">The IIASA guidelines and regulations for good scientific practice were updated in 2016.
