Differences in Diversity

Diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI)are critical elements for companies that want to attract and retain top talent, expand globally and be a leader in their industry. Yet how can a company with a presence in more than one country create global DEI policies and communication strategies, when DEI is defined and experienced differently around the world?

During this round table discussion, Annette van der Feltz moderates a discussion to compare Dutch and American DEI definitions, explore the differences in policies and communication strategies and discover how to harness the potential of an inclusive workplace across the US and the Netherlands.
