The majority of companies lack a proper program for equal opportunities although both domestic and international experiences indicate that there is a need for it in Hungary as well. This is the reason why mtd Consulting Community, CV Online and Magyar Telekom – as Gold sponsor – launched a new research program titled Equal workplace opportunities.

The Ministry of Social and Labour Affairs and Katalin Tardos sociologist-researcher of the Institute of Sociology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences undertook patronage of the program.
The purpose of the research is to assess the status of equal opportunities and CSR at the Hungarian workplaces and communicate the result of the analysis to a wide scope of Hungarian HR experts and the interested parties. The research also outlines the market benefits for the entire organization of applying the equal opportunity aspects.
The results and findings of the survey will be presented to the public by well-known lecturers in a professional conference in May 2009.
The participants of the research program will not only learn about the methods of providing equal opportunities and corporate social responsibility at the companies but can also be the winners of valuable prizes. In addition, they receive a copy of the comprehensive study on Equal workplace opportunities – corporate social responsibility.
