I highly recommend listening to this meaningful conversation between Sharda Alibux and the producers of the Podcast Diversitijd! in which they discuss the influence of skin color on employees’ opportunities and the importance of monitoring using tools like the Netherlands Inclusivity Monitor (NIM).
13,000 CVs dropped with exactly the same qualities, just a different skin colour. The results showed that people with a non-white skin color were 117% less likely to get hired! Sharda Alibux, a member of team open hiring Start Foundation and responsible for New business development at the NIM, is concerned with getting relevant companies on board to monitor diversity and inclusiveness within the organization. How diverse is the group of employees, is everyone enjoying themselves, what is the work climate like? Many companies are doing a lot on D&I, but the results are marginal. During job interviews, toe-curling questions and prejudices are still put on the table! In this episode, the amazement is once again evident, and Sharda gets the men speechless. Listen soon!
Curious? Listen to the podcast!
