Why is such a network necessary?
Results of our surveys are telling. Unconscious biases, micro-aggressions and lack of role models make the career experience for employees with a different origin much harder. Demographics are also clear : Brussels is the most multicultural city in the world. Without efforts, too many talents do not get access to our sector. Over 2/3 of employees with sub Saharan African origin or Morocco origin do experience racist micro-aggressions, and half of them confirm it impacts their self-confidence and their career.
