Diversity & Inclusion Taskforce
In recent years, among other things, we have ensured that both the "male/female ratio" and the "older/younger than 35 ratio" are nearly equal and we pay men and women with the same job equally. But diversity is not just about creating a good ratio in terms of gender or age. Achieving a diverse and inclusive work environment requires continued vigilance and decisiveness so that it is not just magic words that sound good in CSR policies. With the creation of our Diversity & Inclusion Taskforce, we are putting our money where our mouth is. The five members of our D&I Taskforce come from different layers and departments within our organization and act as confidants and boosters on themes such as LGBT+, cultural diversity, religion, gender equality, age mirroring and labor limitation. At the same time, they are a sounding board for our HR, management and account teams, among others. The D&I Taskforce supports our organization in executing our services in an inclusive manner and monitors the pursuit of the diversity policy.

Men as Advocates for Women's Visibility
Another initiative is the Men as Advocates for Women's Visibility summit, an initiative by BrandedU to engage more men in the conversation about gender equality in business. Not only are we hosting this fantastic summit for 150 participants, CEO Marion and chairman of the board Han are also on stage. In addition, several colleagues join in pairs (woman + man or identify as such) to participate in the event, so there is a 50/50 representation in the audience. An afternoon of connecting, storytelling and panel discussions to learn, energize and be inspired with those who take this topic seriously.

What do colleagues think?
In 2021, diversity and inclusion was surveyed for the first time in the annual employee satisfaction survey. Taking all aspects around this topic together, 75% of our colleagues view the company culture positively. Overall, we score a 7.5 as the final grade. "Within the team and HeadFirst Group itself, there is respect." And fortunately the majority of the organization agrees with this, namely 87%. Being able to be yourself is experienced by 90% of our employees and a group of 76% indicate that the workplace is free of discrimination and harassment.

Do you want to be yourself in an organization? And do you want to share your ideas with others? Within HeadFirst Group you can seize this opportunity! Take a look at our current vacancies!
