Immersive Inclusion: Integrating Cultural Talent in the Workplace

Microsoft Nederland

Working across cultures has become part of everyday professional life. Yet many organizations still struggle with one essential question: how do we help people from different cultural backgrounds truly feel welcome, understood, and able to thrive from day one?<a href="https://www.enlivenempathy.com/" title="https://www.enlivenempathy.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Enliven</a> and <a href="https://www.pwnnetherlands.net" title="https://www.pwnnetherlands.net" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professional Women Network Netherlands</a> warmly invite you to an in-person evening at Microsoft offices in Schiphol, dedicated to cultural differences, onboarding, and the meaningful integration of international talent.During this interactive seminar, you will experience Enliven’s immersive empathy technology, designed to help participants step into real workplace situations where cultural misunderstandings can arise. Rather than talking about inclusion in abstract terms, you will feel what it is like to navigate these moments and explore what helps build trust, openness, and psychological safety across cultures.Together, we will explore:<ul><li>How cultural differences show up in international and hybrid teams</li><li>What makes onboarding inclusive in practice, not just in policy</li><li>How leaders and colleagues can create environments where everyone feels safe to contribute</li><li>Practical insights you can apply immediately in your own organization</li></ul>This session is designed for professionals who care about people, leadership, and workplace culture. Whether you work in HR, leadership, DEI, or are part of a diverse team yourself, you will gain fresh perspectives and practical tools to support inclusion in everyday work.Agenda:18:00 Arrival and welcome 18:30 VR session and workshop (in 2 groups) 20:00 Networking drinks and snacks 21:00 The endProfessional Women Network in Netherlands is organising monthly in-person events on the third wednesday evenings of the month where also guests are welcomed to test-drive our newtoek for a couple of times before joining as the Premium Member (more info <a href="https://www.pwnglobal.net/c/pwn-netherlands/content/individual-member" title="https://www.pwnglobal.net/c/pwn-netherlands/content/individual-member" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>).About EnlivenEnliven helps organizations transform culture by making empathy tangible.Our VR-infused training programs are trusted by leading organizations including Microsoft, ASML, KPN, Shimano, Rabobank and supported by Google.org and the Dutch Department of Justice.Our solution: VR-infused cultural transformationEnliven’s award-winning immersive technology lets participants step directly into the experience of psychological safety breaking down - and being rebuilt.This is not roleplay.
