Remember that slogan, \u201cA better environment starts with yourself\u201d? It was originally created by Postbus 51 to encourage Dutch people to personally contribute to our climate and future. In other words: if you want something to change, start with yourself and set a good example. Every little bit helps\u2014and it\u2019s no different when it comes to inclusivity and diversity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to the slogan (\u2026) starts with yourself. That\u2019s exactly how it works with inclusivity and diversity. Your workforce won\u2019t become diverse and inclusive overnight. But then again, Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day either. Start with small steps and, most importantly, be willing to be honest with yourself! Yes, you heard that right. If you aim for diversity and inclusivity, it\u2019s crucial to first take a critical look at yourself and your workforce\u2014without turning a blind eye. Have you always handled it perfectly as a company? Probably not, but don\u2019t worry: you\u2019re not alone. Mistakes are learning opportunities if you take the time to reflect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Honest campaigns by the police and ABN AMRO<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s an example to give you some context. This year, the Dutch police decided to be completely transparent. The force aims for more diversity and inclusivity, which of course doesn\u2019t come without challenges\u2014especially since not everyone may have had a fair chance in the past due to biases. The police appear to be aware of this and choose not to hide from it, but to turn it into something positive. By being transparent and honest and striving to do better than before, they hope to reach their target audience. And don\u2019t forget to speak the audience\u2019s language. This approach is intended to lead to a more diverse workforce. Curious about the campaign? Check out the video below.<\/span><\/p>\n
