Given Diversity andinclusion are guiding principles at Banque Havilland, we asked our staff members what Diversity meant to them. We have then produced a video with several staff members giving their answers to this specific question. Each participant was asked to record the message independently, in order to showcase a variety of background and situations – some chose to do it at home, some at the office, others around Luxembourg, and even on holidays. Participants were also encouraged to submit the videos in their own language and to use any items related to their country/culture.

The main goals were to give visibility to the Diversity topic within the Bank, while empowering employees to speak about the subject.

With the Covid-19 pandemic keeping the majority of our staff working from home, we decided to invite staff members to record their own videos from their homes, holiday destinations and others. The result is a varied set of videos, which helps promoting the idea of Diversity. From a logistic point of view, it also avoided people having to come to the office during the pandemic, thus reducing health impacts on our staff.

The video was internally shared within our group, both via e-mail and on our Intranet, reaching 250 employees over 6 different countries (Luxembourg, UK, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Switzerland and Dubai).
