Keynotes & Workshops

For us, inclusion is a verb. Hence, we allow inclusive behavior to be experienced through experiential learning, which means that our trainings begin with specific activities that form the basis for reflection, discussion, and the sharing of evidence-based information and knowledge.

In this 2-3 hour workshop (depending on the size of the group, from 10 to 100 people), our founders Rein and Elke let your team experience inclusion and exclusion.

Did you know that exclusion is not always negative, nor is inclusion always good? That not feeling "at home" in a group usually has nothing to do with discrimination?

This training was designed by Dr. Hans van Dijk and Dr. Carolin Ossenkop, at the Including Behavior Institute. Our trainers are trained and certified in this training..

From Equitable Compensation to Employee Advocacy in collab with SOUKAINA BOUDDOUNT (Author ‘belonen met impact’ & HR Expert at Compinsight)

Equity, the often-misunderstood ‘E’ in DEI, is about more than just fair pay. It’s about creating workplaces where compensation, career growth, and engagement strategies empower every employee to thrive.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop, we’ll explore how equity-driven compensation and benefits strategies can help organizations retain top talent, foster motivation, and build a culture of transparency and advocacy.

What’s included:

• Addressing the Transparant Pay Directive in an equitable way

• Practical examples of real cases

• Understanding motivation beyond salary

• Job grading & promotion

• Transparant communication

• Community & engagement

By the end of this workshop, HR teams and/or leadership teams will walk away with actionable strategies to create fairer workplaces where employees feel valued, motivated, and heard.

This workshop is given by DEI expert Rein Meirte together with Tamara Makoni, Author & expert in Cultural diversity.

In Belgium, Dutch or French is often the base language in IT teams. But, with talent scarcity ont he market, more and more international talent is entering in the tech scene.

In this workshop we’ll address questions like:

• How do you react as a company to the rise of English as a company language?

• How does language play a crucial role in you ability to scale?

• What proven strategies are there to adapt to the different language approaches? (With real-life cases)

• How to stay inclusive and authentic for ALL (current and future) employees?

• How to recognise hidden language barriers that demotivate employees?

• What is inclusive communication in a technical context?

Together with our expert trainers, this workshops sheds a light on how to build your language strategy for leadership, and inspires IT teams and team leads to understand the what, how and why of language policy.

Prejudice and bias is a human reflex. Without "bias," we would not be able to navigate society. We cannot do without it, but often make unconscious and unfounded judgments. The impact of this is huge, and is at the root of diversity and inclusion.

In this 1-hour workshop, our founders, Elke & Rein, take you to discover your own bias, and learn about diversity and inclusion. We don't just confront you with possible blind spots, but also work around how these are actually GOOD. Because when unconscious bias becomes conscious, you can start using it in a positive way.

Why is this the basis of diversity and inclusion?

The fact that we have a (subconscious) tendency to like and trust people who look like us more quickly has an impact on our talent hiring decision. It also has an impact on who you get along well with or who doesn't click as well in the workplace.

Indeed, objectivity in judging people does not exist. Yet we regularly hear statements that make it clear how unconscious this bias often is:

"I don't make a difference, I just see people."

"We don't look at age/skin color/gender/..., we look at talent and knowledge."

"Women just don't like to be involved in technical things."

Through what glasses do you look at the world and what consequences does that have? What can you do yourself to be aware of it? With a fun mix of theory and practical exercises, we make unconscious bias, conscious.
