DIVERSITY WITHIN CORPORATE EDUCATION AT THE SLOVAK LABOUR AND WELFARE ADMINISTRATION: A CROSS-SECTIONAL QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY

Abstract

Diversity of the workforce encourages innovation. In order to maintain the workforce, it is necessary to adapt the company's training with regard to the needs of individual employees. Organisations that understand the relationships between diversity, inclusion and education have the potential to set up a culture of lifelong learning and thus improve quality of life for their employees. Diversity can strengthen work involvement, improve the organisational climate, promote inclusion, and contribute to increased productivity and the quality of life of employees. We researched the question of diversity by questionnaire; an online survey was conducted at the Slovak Labour and Welfare Administration, investigating the dimensions of diversity, inclusion, quality of life, and education. We identified the subjective perception of the dimensions of education, diversity and inclusion by employees in relation to the criteria of quality of life, job positions or time spent working in the institution. Our results showed that education has an impact on the self-esteem of the respondent's personal and professional life, and that the quality of personal and professional life is influenced by the position and length of time spent in the organisation.
