As of 2023, IGU recognizes and safeguards the fundamental labor rights of all employees through its institutional policies and practices. The University respects core rights such as freedom of association and union membership, the right to collective bargaining, employee representation, fair wages, reasonable working hours, and safe working conditions. These rights are implemented in an equitable and inclusive manner, covering all staff members.
All academic and administrative staff at IGU are free to exercise their fundamental labor rights, including the right to form or join a trade union and to engage in collective bargaining. The University regards these rights not only as a legal obligation but also as an ethical responsibility and an integral part of its institutional culture. Employees’ freedom of association and their right to express ideas and demands collectively are guaranteed without fear of pressure, discrimination, or adverse consequences.
Furthermore, in all human resources processes, including recruitment, task allocation, promotion, and career development, the principles of equal opportunity, non-discrimination, merit, and performance-based evaluation are applied. Equal opportunities for growth and participation are ensured for all employees, including women and international staff. In this way, IGU has made strengthening a human rights–based, inclusive, and sustainable working environment a corporate priority.
