6 hours 10 hours 6 hours 10 hours and that works well. and i can't bear to hear any more businesses say we have standards and just can't find a qualified woman i can't bear to hear it anymore because it's not true and we need to consider that women present themselves differently and their qualifications come across differently and we need to take a closer look at that show. how by looking at people differently and not just at those who appear boastful story that's not true for all men and there's less to it than what it might sound like there are men who are very competent don't get me wrong but men also present themselves with their chests broad and proud and women tend to be more modest and hope to be discovered and dicta. wasn't it but that doesn't usually work you know because no it doesn't but it also doesn't work when women say i'll act like a man throughout my career i've heard again and again you act like

a man and you're too dominant can't you be more humble women have to realize that that can hold them back as well as i do who suffered at all. diversity also means people of different abilities working alongside each other however disability can make finding a job much harder for example just one in 4 blind people in germany is employed claudia lash out can bend physical and have been speaking to 3 women making a success of themselves in the world of work and one of them to write to the outer reaches of his comfort zone. let me know when it starts to hurt. can you still speak. and breathed. period i have retinitis pigmentosa it's a genetic disorder and causes tunnel vision my eyesight was quite good until i was 30 or 35 i could still ride my bike. on the fox.

most of my patients don't even know. when i tell them i'm legally blind they say they don't believe me. that was a quick. one can verify it if you can cover up a lot you become a champion in covering it up of course i have trained my coworkers to never put things in the wrong place. i get so mad if i have to spend hours hunting for something if i reach for it and it's not where it's meant to be and i have to start looking for it. i don't want my parents always supported me they never said you won't be able to do that. but lynn is very noisy very crowded and people just leech other a lot it's a challenge.

i see light and dark and contours here in this hall i can make out the windows and the round lamps that look like bright patches. so i can orient myself quite well. i locate the steps with my stick. i know the courthouse building very well with all its corridors and corners. sighted people often get lost here and can't find their way out without help. when i was 11 i once went to a lawyers office was amazing so it was clear that i would study law. the figure of justice is always depicted with a blindfold in my case given that i can't see i don't judge people by their exterior because i can't that also means i don't get distracted and remain focused on what people tell me. but that doesn't mean i'm entirely free of preconceptions they're just

a bit different blind people might not like the sound of someone's voice or the way they shake your hand. i'm not a living lie detector but i am pretty sensitive to what people are telling me whether it's true or whether they're lying. on the floor if you can't imagine a blind person can climb a flight of stands he won't believe that a visually impaired person can hold their own in the workplace. i've been blind since birth but when i say i'm on my way to work people ask if i'm going to a workshop for the blind they should be asking where do you work that just goes to show how many preconceptions there still are.

in the digital world technology is a blessing and a curse at the same time there are some websites we can use easily but far too many are not accessible. coming. the app will tell me. that it's just the bus is just arriving will know what that's done but that can be recognized by the app. it says the next one is delayed coming in 10 minutes it doesn't show the one that's just come in so i. live in town because there's good public transport that lets me get around. that if self driving cars ever become available and i can afford one i might consider

moving to the country. because you're rolling over your. long view of diversity is that cultural and ethnic background should play no role in our ability to be employed however your race can still be a boon or a burden on the job market something my colleague to ponder chin barely has been finding out for himself here in but it. here's the information a german employer would get about me. i'm a journalist the dortch of ella in berlin and i'm black and african in case you're wondering. after 12 years in germany i'm still surprised that data on ethnic origin and race isn't something german employers normally record about race and ethnicity can still play a role in whether you get hired. a foreign sounding name can already be

a barrier and german employers typically expect a photo along with a job application so what you look like and your perceived race or ethnicity influences your chances of getting a job. german companies recognize that there's a problem with just what are they doing to reduce bias in recruitment one of the country's largest employers says it's made diversity part of its core strategy. parader georgia baan employs more than 200000 people across germany the company's diversity management says they are only one koopman system helps them to be more objective. but what happens when humans and not computers are involved. up next of all. where to start testing and new measures that will run during our diversity week. test it will be a kind of blind audition process blind auditions become ones 1st will remove all

personal data from the job application this is it's. for the blind additional recruiters will sit in one video conference room that is it's the candidates will sit in a different conference room where the recruiters will only be able to hear the candidates not see them. but the candidates will be able to see the recruiters. zied the i was there and oh well that's a bit like the voice. yes. but you can still tell a lot from a voice and an accent several major german corporations have adopted diverse we try to do in recent years and that has helped them to hire people from different nationalities and different cultural backgrounds but race and ethnicity remain a major problem when it comes forth with this combination. a survey by germany's anti discrimination agency shows that one in 3 people who reported workplace discrimination said it was because of their ethnicity or race the berlin based ngo citizens for europe says more needs to be done to understand how race and ethnic

thank you. all right well thank you very much things are moving far too slowly when it comes to diversity discrimination based on ethnicity or race is still very much a reality in the u.k. germany and elsewhere and it also affects us in the workplace. i've learned a lot while working on this report but i'm not convinced employers are doing enough to prevent discrimination based on that mystery and race. not enough is another way of saying too little isn't it so obvious to something that as we're seeing can also mentally benefit us all and will keep reminding companies that fact upon this report brings to an end this edition of made his business magazine has been great
