Abstract

As diversity continues to grow in astronomy, creating working environments that are equally beneficial to all employees is imperative. Internal climate surveys and official representation confirm we need to maintain and reinforce the efforts in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (EDI). Since 2017, ESO has created its EDI Committee gathering a variety of employees from the different sites, with different backgrounds. We will focus here on the most recent updates from the EDI ESO goals and values, and on the effective strategy to develop a skilled and diverse operational workforce across the different operational sites, and particularly in Paranal Observatory.
