We had successfully completed multiple previous placements with them, so they approached us to help them with this challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge was that Heineken is a very large decentralised business, but they wanted to build a central DEI strategy across the entire business. They were looking for someone who could run DEI at this scale, with minimal resources, no existing team in place and with a background enabling them to understand Heineken as a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of Heineken employees work there in the second generation and Heineken as a business needed to change since they realised &#8220;just&#8221; brewing beer would not be enough anymore in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-the-solution\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only did we fill the role, we also helped them with the job description and advised them on the person&#8217;s reporting line as well as the overall hiring approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We activated our network and ran a global skill-based search, without excluding candidates because of location or industry background. This resulted in a shortlist of four candidates who, apart from one, were all international candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-the-outcome\">The outcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heineken interviewed all candidates. One of them, a female engineer who used to work in sales and later in her career had moved into DEI, clearly stood out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite having worked in a different industry before, thanks to her engineering skills and experience in sales she was able to understand Heineken as a business and its people at their core. Heineken hired her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new hire had to relocate from Paris to Amsterdam, so we supported her with understanding what that would mean for her in legal terms and helped her adjust to the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since, she has done extremely successful work achieving an ambassador scheme across the business. And leveraging these ambassadors within Heineken to build on that awareness that is much wider than just internally but also includes their external communication with their consumers. Heineken&#8217;s DEI strategy has since often been mentioned in an exemplary manner and she&#8217;s been giving keynotes on the topic as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-not-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-1024x325.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-1024x325.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-768x244.png 768w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-1536x488.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-at-16.43.49-2048x650.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-brand-1-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\" id=\"h-role\">Role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Global Head of DEI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\" id=\"h-region\">Region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\" id=\"h-industry\"><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Brewing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-brand-1-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\" id=\"h-looking-to-hire-for-your-team\">Looking to hire for your team?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-cta-arrow\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/hire-talent\/\">Get in touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The challenge Heineken was looking to hire their first Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
