Brussels Invests €713,000 to Combat Hiring Discrimination and Boost Workplace Diversity

This allocation corresponding to 19 projects is part of the authorities’ desire to effectively combat discrimination in hiring, a real societal problem in the Brussels region, reports Belga, citing Employment Minister Bernard Clerfayt.

These prejudices are racial, religious or physical in nature, related to disability, according to a press release from the ministry, adding that the victims are traumatized during the various stages of the recruitment process, particularly during a job interview or when examining a CV.
