On 10 October, the LGBTI network of the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) and the FIOD, organised the symposium ‘The power of Inclusivity’. This event celebrated the 5th anniversary of their LGBTI employee network ‘B/Proud’ as well as National Coming Out Day. As one of the speakers, I gave scientific insights on inclusion and how social psychologists conduct their research. I presented on the importance of (and challenges in) implementing evidence-based diversity policy and how relatively ‘invisible diversity’, like sexual orientation, is very important to consider when creating an inclusive organizational culture.
On 11 October, I attended the celebration of the LUMC (Leiden University Medical Center) becoming the first research hospital and the first member from the health care sector in the Netherlands to join Workplace Pride. A very important milestone.
