Crowell Café – Engaging Diversity in the Workplace

We are pleased to invite you to our next Crowell Café, where we will delve into the critical topic of engaging ethnic, racial, religious and other minorities in the workplace.

For many years, our Crowell Cafés have served as a platform for exchanging ideas on significant social issues. This year, we turn our focus to the challenges faced by minorities in professional settings. Despite progress in diversity and inclusion, recent studies indicate persistent barriers that prevent full engagement and advancement of these groups.

We will begin with a presentation by Louis Lippens, an FWP post-doctoral fellow in labour economics at Ghent University, who will share some key insights from his extensive research on labour market discrimination.

Following this, we will host a panel discussion featuring:

• Fatma Keskin, VP Legal, Delhaize Belgium
• Roel Verhavert, Director Sales and Business Development, Indiandribble
• Tamara Eelsing, Diversity Manager at STIB-MIVB 

These distinguished speakers will provide valuable insights into the current state of diversity in the workplace and explore strategies to enhance engagement and inclusion. We are looking forward to a lively debate and the sharing of useful experiences and knowledge!
