All employees can participate and are valued for who they are, irrespective of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. That is the key to being inclusive. The Netherlands Inclusiveness Monitor (NIM) investigates the initiatives that organizations take to create a more inclusive workplace. It connects these findings to the experiences of employees and provides organizations with evidence-based advice on which steps to take to become truly inclusive. On March 18 2021, we presented the latest findings on data from 20 Dutch private and public sector organizations and published a summary of findings in this handout.
Results indicate that organizations focus mostly on the selection, recruitment and inclusion of employees and less on the promotion and retention of employees. In addition, organizations could pay more attention to developing and implementing their policy in an integrated, systematic and evidence-based way. Practical recommendations are provided.
