Martina Stangel-Meseke establishes a model for lifecycle-oriented human resource management based on the analysis of innovative HR management concepts and their reception in equality policy guidelines. This model meets the demands for sustainability in HR concepts as well as for equal participation of women and men in the workforce. Thus, it synthesizes future-oriented HR management requirements with equality-relevant aspects in employment. The integration of equality policy guiding principles into lifecycle-oriented HR management concepts represents a socially relevant contribution to work in the 21st century.
