VOICES OF DIVERSITY PROGRAM

In recent decades, diversity has gained space in academic discussion, especially organizational studies and work relations and people management. The objective of the study is to present the “Vozes da Diversidade” project, which was designed and developed by a health institution that provides health care with a focus on oncology and various highly complex specialties, with a main focus on the theme of Diversity and Inclusion. The study refers to exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, of the experience report type. Approximately 700 employees participated in the survey, which aimed to define the Institution's profile. Based on the data collected in the research, the need to discuss the topic of inclusion and diversity at an institutional level was perceived, in order to reduce prejudices and stigmas and contribute to a better understanding of inclusions.
