Mission

Inclusive Works actively invests in the creation of more inclusive societies. We do so by advising organisations how to include and embed diversity in their day to day work. By developing and executing projects that help build sustainable connections between individuals and groups in society. By carrying out high quality research that helps us better understand the rationale and processes behind decisions and actions. And by undertaking evaluations of our own work, as well as of the initiatives of others.

Vision

Society belongs to all of us. Every single person is a member of society and shapes it through their actions – visibly or modestly, directly or indirectly. Each individual has something unique to offer to society: special talents or skills, ideas, plans and the determination to carry these out. Differences – whether in age, culture, gender, ability, religion or sexual orientation – is welcome, as it brings valuable new perspectives and approaches.

A positive attitude to diversity is necessary to put our special talents to use and make something innovative and exciting. 

We work with (freelance) researchers and professionals with a solid background in both theory and practice. Because of that, we are perfectly positioned to carry out projects, research and provide advisory services on anti-discrimination, diversity, inclusive thinking and working, integration, minority affairs, nationalism and political affairs revolving around these themes. We also work with (voluntary) coaches who have worked with people of various backgrounds and create work and volunteer opportunities for newcomers.

 

Our team is composed by a mix of PhD. and Master graduates of history, social sciences, comparative politics, cultural anthropology and psychology.

Integrity code

 

Our integrity code serves as a baseline for fundamental principles that are essential to our employees and other affiliated people when working for or assisting projects of Inclusive Works. The integrity code includes fundamental principles on human rights, equal opportunities and minority protection. This means, for example, that Inclusive Works and people who are directly involved in it are aware that they may not incite hatred or the use of force and fully comply with this ethical norm. Our Directors, supervisors and representatives of Inclusive Works have never been condemned for any crimes of this nature. In addition, Inclusive Works and people who are directly involved in the

organisation, seek and use the most sustainable ways of transportation, usage of office space and materials.
