Topic
Organisations should be the reflection of society in order to deal with the challenges that their stakeholders face. Erasmus MC plays a crucial role in the multicultural city of Rotterdam and aims to serve the 170 nationalities in an inclusive way. To make this possible, Erasmus MC started a Taskforce to promote D&I and integrate Diversity, Equality and Inclusion into one standardised vision. However, it has proven to be difficult to break cultural patterns and develop a new inclusive corporate identity within an organisation with over 15,000 employees.
