- About the CUG
The promotion of SISSA wellbeing and equal opportunities is managed by the CUG
What is CUG
CUG is an acronym for “Comitato Unico di Garanzia”, the unified committee for equal opportunities, the promotion of the wellbeing of the personnel, and against discriminations.
The CUG has propositional, consultative, and verification tasks. It contributes to the optimization of the productivity of public work by promoting a working environment characterized by the respect of the principles of equal opportunity, of organizational well-being and by the contrast of any form of discrimination and moral or psychic violence for workers.
