KWR has identified a diverse and inclusive organisation as one of its strategic priorities in its 2021-2030 Business Plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Diversity is about differences among people. In terms of KWR and diversity policy, this means acknowledging and positively valuing differences between colleagues. It is about the impact on the level of diversity in the organisation and the attitudes of colleagues in this respect. Differences include, for example, gender, age, sexual orientation, cultural background, level of education, religion, height, and physical and mental challenges at work. Differences can be visible and invisible.<\/p>\n

Diversity is not the same thing as inclusion. In an inclusive organisation, people have the space to be themselves, they feel safe and they have equal opportunities to develop. In this respect, there is an awareness that colleagues are related to one another and depend on one another.<\/p>\n
