The much-awaited after-movie of our BWN NL Belonging event, organized together with our valued partners SAP NL. What does it mean to you to belong? Is it just about having a seat at the table? Or is it also about having your voice heard, your perspective valued, and your contributions celebrated? In a field where women are still underrepresented, creating an inclusive culture is not nice to have. It should be part of the core values. Belonging thrives when diversity is more than a number and when inclusion goes beyond policy. You can see it in the daily interactions, the mentorships, the acknowledgment of ideas, and the shared victories. To all the women breaking barriers and to the allies creating space, your efforts matter! Together, we’re building organizations where everyone, regardless of background or gender, feels they truly belong. Thank you, once again, #SAP, for hosting this event and for all the support you've given us throughout the time. Full video here: https://lnkd.in/dPHggwFs Gerda Slagter, Sanne Cornée Heeringa-Noordam, Martine Fase, Vladislava Mocanu, Mine Egberts-Ersoy, Marleen Verhaag, Lieke (Cornelia) Lamb, Stefana Sopco. #genderdiversity #womeninsteam #womenintech #WITNL
