La diversité, un levier de performance pour l’entreprise de demain.
En effet, elle favorise l’innovation, la créativité, la productivité mais aussi l’attractivité des talents. Certes, la diversité ne se limite pas à la question du genre, elle recouvre de nombreuses facettes.
Ainsi, Céline Piton et Maud Nautet aborderont l’effet de la parentalité sur la carrière des hommes et des femmes.
Ensuite Patrick Devis nous expliquera pourquoi l’objectif visé par la Gender/diversity au sein de Belfius est-il si important.
Sarah Ndayirukiye témoignera de l’expérience de la BNB en matière d’inclusion et de diversité.
Enfin Claire Godding conclura notre webinaire en nous expliquant pourquoi il est si important pour le secteur financier d’investir dans la diversité et l’inclusion.

Men Women
• Being a mother is detrimental: -1 pp BUT the
penalty disappears when we control for sector
and/or occupation
• Women self-select into sectors or
occupations with less supervisory
responsibilities
• Being a father is a positive signal for men:
+3 pp compared to a man without children
• Controlling for personal characteristics: women
are 14 pp less likely to have supervisory
responsibilities than men
• Within sector and for a certain occupation,
the gap is still 10 pp
(proportion of workers with supervisory responsibilities for each age category, 2006-2019)
10. Women are less likely to become (certain type of) managers: not linked to
motherhood per se but to related choices (sector and work time)

17. There is still a long way to gender neutrality
17
• While low-educated mothers leave the labour market, the high-educated adapt their
working time
• Combined with social norms, this leads to lower chances to get supervisory responsibilities
and to become top managers
In a feminized labour market, becoming a mother has a large negative impact
For men, being a father is either neutral or a plus for their career
Current policies implemented to reduce gender gaps have adverse effects
Changing social norms would play a significant role but is a long-term process

Our approach (2/2)
The global approach that aims to make
Belfius an increasingly inclusive
organization is based on 4 levers:
Structure the approach
In addition to the Steering, which has been in place since
2015, various initiatives are taken to increase inclusion:
ambition, alignment, decision, action and communication.
Empowering managers
Setting up a recurrent monitoring system to follow up,
analyse and take the necessary measures/actions to
achieve the objectives set for 2025
Bringing the concept of inclusion to life
To ensure that the employees take ownership of it,
develop it and make Belfius evolve into an ever more
inclusive company. This is done by building on its DNA and
taking into account its specificities and priorities

▪ Les micro-agressions au travail se définissent comme
l’ensemble des attitudes, propos et comportements fondés
sur des stéréotypes de race, de religion, de sexe,d’âge…qui,
bien qu’en apparence anodins ou de faible intensité, ont
pour objet ou pour effet, de façon consciente ou
inconsciente, de délégitimer les personnes, de les
inférioriser, de les déstabiliser de façon insidieuse, voire
bienveillante, au travail et d’entraîner une altération de leur
santé physique ou mentale. »
