Diversity & Inclusion enhancement

I have worked in senior HR positions in the international financial services business over 25 years. In this capacity I have experienced periods of growth, mergers, managing during financial crisis, many reorganizations, innovation initiatives and an IPO (listing of a company). In my roles as HR Director and Head of Leadership & Development, I had the privilege to work with talented leaders and individuals from various countries and cultures, in various business challenges. During this exciting journey I gained a wealth of knowledge and a truly multi-cultural perspective on ‘Work Culture’, co-operation, Talent Agility and Leadership Effectiveness. I designed and delivered several international diversity and inclusion initiatives.

The ingredients of my approach in developing 'inclusion' programs are amongst others:

  • Creating 'inclusion awareness' in the mid and senior levels of the organisation
  • Make a strong connection between diversity and the environment (stakeholders etc) of the organisation visible
  • Enable leaders to take responsibility for Diversity and Inclusion
  • Look at impactful processes in the organisation from an inclusion perspective and adapt them if needed
  • Create focused interventions (not too many) and celebrate successes
  • Linking diversity to leadership, employee value proposition, key appointments, talent recruitment and with help of the organisation to the customer
  • Coaching talents
  • HR as facilitator
