"Ethnostratification", are you familiar with this notion? The situation of talents with non-EU migration background in the Brussels job market and the problem of hiring, is well documented. Corporate leaders seem to pay lip service to racial / ethnic diversity and inclusion. If internationalization is part of your strategy, in today's workplace, inclusion and diversity management cannot be considered as charity. CEOs can take actions to advance racial equity in their organisations and reap the benefit of more inclusive workplaces.
