PSI Diversity Award for Executives

The first award ceremony of the PSI Diversity Award for executives took place for the first time on January 16, 2019, and will be realised every two years. In the process, managers are nominated by their team members.

The following criteria, for instance, are decisive for the nomination of executives:

• Does your boss foster diversity in their team and at PSI?
• Do they lead the team in the sense of promoting diversity and equal opportunity as well as the respectful interaction with each other?

Aim
Satisfied, healthy and committed employees are our most important asset. They ensure innovation and performance. Fairness, openness and respect at all levels as well as equal treatment of all employees are the management principles of the Paul Scherrer Institute.
