Within my company and community, I am the lead of diversity taskforce. Since the shift of labor market two years ago, we have been hiring non-Dutch colleagues extensively that there is a need to create a group to cater for their needs. The group that I have founded is called CuRi Forum which means ‘Culturally Rich’, a melting pot and an international cross road in the Netherlands. Last Friday 8th February 2008, we have our 3rd CuRi Forum event in the office, where Pension situation is clarified and explained to our foreign colleagues. Furthermore we have two cultural presentations on the country and the work ethnics especially on the differences in Dutch working ethnics. The countries in spot light were South Africa and India. In most situations, we are amazed at the cultural richness of other countries but yet people have made a choice to work in the Netherlands for their personal development, extending their opportunities despite of the weather. This group has now members from 21 countries and it is growing constantly.
