Work structure and organization
Responsibility and roles
The principal has employer's liability at Mid Sweden University and assigns tasks in writing to each subordinate supervisor who has responsibility over staff. This means that it is your immediate supervisor who has responsibility for the work environment who is also obligated to perform the tasks involved in our work-environment responsibility.
Supervisors
Supervisors represent the employer and are fully responsible for
employees and their work environment. Supervisors are ultimately responsible for
preventing unequal treatment and making it clear that such behaviour is unacceptable in
the organisation, counteracting discrimination, and in other ways promoting equal rights and
opportunities regardless of sex, gender identity or expression, ethnicity,
religion or other beliefs, impairment, sexual orientation, or age.
Staff and students
Within the scope of their active teamwork, staff and students have a role in
creating a good work environment and combating discrimination, harassment, and other
offensive and unequal treatment by responding to and acting to prevent it from happening.
Organisation of efforts promoting equal opportunities

Equal Opportunities Representatives

Following up efforts to promote equal opportunities
