Diversidade e gestão de pessoas no Serviço Público: o caso português

Abstract

The social inclusion of women and minorities in the public service has increased with human resources management strategies focused on diversity. In 2018, Portugal launched the National Strategy for Equality and Non-Discrimination - Portugal + Igual (ENIND), defining global and structural action targets to achieve this policy. The article aims to analyze the configuration of the Municipal Equality and Non-Discrimination Plan (PMIND) in its internal dimension, as a human resources management strategy in 14 selected municipalities in North of Portugal. A qualitative, descriptive study was carried out, using an expanded literature review, documentary analysis, interviews and non-participant observation. The findings indicate the expansion of the policy in the Portuguese territory, following the premises of transversality, participation and inclusion, albeit at a slow pace of institutionalization caused mainly by a lack of human resources and little community participation. PMIND's configuration can serve as an inspiration for human resources management policies and practices in the Brazilian public service aimed at expanding that country's representative bureaucracy.
