Inclusion

Age, sex, gender, language, physical possibilities, origin, religion… so much diversity in our society, so much diversity in our workforce. An inclusive working environment in which everyone is given opportunities based on their skills and personality: that’s bpostgroup’s DNA.

Enriching

The diversity at bpostgroup is enriching. Why? Because of the new perspectives, approaches and expertise it brings. Employees from the same background will often come up with the same solutions. Diversity improves the operational functioning and service of our company. And it also mirrors society and helps us better understand what the diverse society wants from us. This is particularly important for bpostgroup, with its social role.

There is also an economic reality: in our globalized society, a policy oriented to diversity and inclusion ensures you are an attractive employer and makes a difference in the battle for valuable new employees.

Building blocks of our DNA

• Everyone must be convinced of its importance. Sponsorship at every level is very important to us. Constant communication keeps diversity and inclusion at the top of people’s minds in our group.
• Clear guidelines and tools are important in a complex, fast-changing environment in which challenges come thick and fast. A code of conduct for everyone. A clear diversity policy. A Q&A, e-trainings and a brochure for managers. Special inclusive leadership trainings and workshops have been developed.
• We develop local action plans tailored to each site and each production environment.
• We also have a group of diversity ambassadors at corporate and local level to act as a sounding board.
• We also contract external experts to help guide our approach. In Belgium these include Unia, an equal opportunities centre.
