Knowledge platform

We focus on five dimensions of diversity. This includes gender, age, LGBTI+, disabilities or chronic illness and ethnic, cultural and religious background. The starting point, however, is an open organizational culture where differences are valued.

Knowledge from science and case examples are combined in expert reports. These are used to share best practices in the fields of diverse recruitment, inclusive management and more.

Below you will find our translated expert reports and diversity guides.

Diversity in recruitment and selection

Many companies and organisations aim for greater diversity in the composition of the workforce. For example, there is a high demand for women in technology and for employees with a migration background in the healthcare sector. Whether companies succeed in making them more diverse often depends on their recruitment and selection procedures. The expert report ‘Diversity in recruitment and selection‘ contains practical information and tips.

From cultural diversity to inclusion

How do we get from cultural diversity on the work floor to an inclusive corporate culture? The expert report ‘from cultural diversity to inclusion’ answers this question and provides practical recommendations and tips for employers.

All aboard: Handout for creating support for diversity and inclusion policy

For D&I policy to succeed, it is important that it has broad support in the organisation. In this handout, we use data to show how support for D&I policy manifests within organisations and what this looks like among employees. This handout is a collaboration between Utrecht University, SER Diversity at Work and Foundation InclusieNL and is made possible by the Goldschmeding Foundation.

The researchers behind this handout published a paper on creating support in February of 2024. You can read Shades of support: An empirical assessment of D&I policy support in organizations by clicking the link.

Exit interviews: a wealth of information

Exit interviews with employees who are leaving the organisation can provide valuable insights for organisations and their D&I policies. This handout shows why it is important to pay attention to the experiences of departing employees, how exit interviews can be of added value to D&I policies, and how organisations can effectively conduct them. This handout is a collaboration between Utrecht University, SER Diversity at Work and Foundation InclusieNL and is made possible by the Goldschmeding Foundation.
