The Swedish Chamber of Commerce is excited to launch its new series, The Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast, aimed to inspiring and empowering business leaders to create inclusive and diverse workplaces. In this series, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast together while we will hear from experts and company leaders who will share their experiences and insights on how to embed diversity and inclusion in your organization .
Our first D&I Breakfast is hosted by Herrik van der Gaag, Managing Director at Volvo Car Germany GmbH & Volvo Car Netherlands BV and Patricia van Hazendonk, People Experience & Competence and Management Team Member at Volvo Cars Netherlnads who will present the Volvo Cars Diversity & Inclusion strategy and the Volvo Family Bond Program.
Do you ever wonder why some people are not that enthusiastic about Diversity & Inclusion? Why some actions/activities fails or do not get enough attention/participants? That has to do with the phase of inclusion people are at. After all, you are not interested to hear about renovations when you just bought a new house either.
This interactive AIM session will explain what phases an organization goes through on the way to inclusion. What to focus on, what actions are needed/best per phase, and how to ensure optimal results.
Of course, there will be time to reflect on your organization, what phase you are in and what could be your next actions (with lots of best practices).
