“Aquent stands together with the victims of police brutality, their families, and the protestors who seek an end to a prejudiced system,” said CEO John H. Chuang. “To reaffirm our company’s values of equality, we are taking three concrete steps toward social justice reform. We are educating ourselves by reading and discussing seminal works on racial inequality and the fight to end it, ensuring our employees have the ability to exercise their right to vote and reaching into our company’s pockets to offer financial support to a historically impactful organization.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The specifics of Aquent’s initiatives include:<\/span><\/p>\n Aquent will also team up with the staffing agencies Creative Circle, The Creative Group, Onward Search, and 24 Seven on an initiative to celebrate creative talent and businesses who are leading the charge in the fight for social justice. Each week, the work of people of color will be celebrated on the agencies’ social media channels.<\/span><\/p>\n As ambassadors for diversity and inclusion, and an action-orientated bunch of people, this message inspired the team to localise our involvement for direct impact here in The Netherlands. Our journey to consciousness started last year with what I can only describe as a “unicorn” of a diversity & inclusion leadership trainer to guide us, <\/span>Gerri Moodley<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n To localise efforts here in The Netherlands, we have started a depository of resources to continue to our education through a diverse reading list (as our are backgrounds), documentaries, podcasts and to invest and act in local organisations we can support our time and money to. <\/span><\/p>\n Titles among our reading list include <\/span>The Dutch Atlantic<\/span><\/a> (Slavery, Abolition and Emancipation), <\/span>Dutch New York Histories<\/span><\/a> (Connecting, African, Native American & Dutch slavery). We proudly support the <\/span>New Urban Collective<\/span><\/a> which funds the <\/span>The Black Archives<\/span><\/a> in Amsterdam. And will get out and lobby, sign petitions and vote to be heard.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s a small step. It's a fundamental part of our work. And the work is ongoing. We are committed to bringing the change we want to see. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A global initiative was announced by our CEO and Founder, John Chuang for us to do more as a collective for racial equality and justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[881],"capabilities":[],"class_list":["post-18135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hiring-insights"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
