Challenges Of Social Programs In Brazil

Following a worldwide movement demanding responsible investments and sustainability actions, public and private organizations in Brazil seem to be more eager than ever to include social development principles into their practices. In this scenario, a growing number of social programs (sometimes referred to as diversity and inclusion programs) aiming to encourage a diverse workforce and contribute to the reduction of inequality have been put in place.

However, managing diversity requires well-implemented actions in recruitment and career plans, investments in training and monitoring and, at the same time, compliance with employment regulations.

The Brazilian Federal Constitution provides for the equality before the law and prohibits difference in wages, duties and hiring criteria due to gender, age, race or marital status.
