How can organisations effectively design their D&I policies? This question was the focus of the three-year research project "Looking at D&I policy through a different lens” that we worked on with Melissa Vink, Wiebren Jansen, Naomi Ellemers, and Lina Senen.
Creating an inclusive organization proves to be a challenge. Research has shown that existing interventions aimed at raising awareness or countering biases (such as anti-bias training) are not always effective. The research project therefore worked from a different perspective, focusing on:
What blind spots are present in diversity policies
How this affects job seekers, employees and organizations as a whole
How these patterns can be broken
In this blog, Melissa Vink elaborates on the main results. You can also download the final report here.
