How do you ensure that everyone really feels at home within your organisation? And that every talent, regardless of background or identity, can develop optimally? Watch the latest episode of EUR Explained about the practical tools that our IDEA Center can offer you.

At a time when social movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter made the need for change visible, inclusion is no longer a buzzword, but a strategic building block for sustainable growth.  

Yet, it remains a challenge for many organizations. Diversity often seems well regulated on paper, but in practice it does not always feel inclusive. If you want to work for an open and equal working environment, you have to look beyond policy and figures alone. That is exactly what Erasmus University's IDEA Center (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access) helps with.

In the latest episode of EUR Explained, Joris van den Ring-Bax explains how organisations can structurally embed inclusion. Not with separate initiatives, but by connecting vision, strategy and daily behavior. The IDEA Center bundles knowledge and practical experience in a handbook full of examples and strategies.
