Vopak

What was the objective?

Vopak sought to involve colleagues on an international level in the conversation on key D&I topics, including gender equality, unconsious biases and cultural differences.

What did we do?

For three dedicated webinars on the different topics (one on International Women’s Day and the other two as part of Diversity Week), we organized a custom Civinc session that invited all participants to engage in safe conversations with their peers on the theme at hand. After a short intro, colleagues were invited to respond to statements on the Civinc platform and be matched instantly to co-workers with a different point of view.

What was the outcome?

Close to 500 colleagues from 5 different countries participated in the different sessions, kickstarting the conversation on key D&I themes and providing everyone who wanted to with the opportunity to engage in safe conversations and share their point of view. The sessions led to rich data-outcomes that gave insight into the sentiment on those topics, the prevailing ideas amongst colleagues, as well as notable differences between the viewpoints of groups (such as women and men).

What did the customer say?
