As an equal opportunities employer, we have a diverse workforce from all over the world and we strive to make our workplace an inclusive one. We were therefore very excited to be a sponsor of this year’s Leiden Pride.
Having grown from a two-person business into a 70-person family, our company has seen many changes over the past 25 years. EJR-Quartz is all about people: our strength is our team and everyone on the team provides a wealth of experience and commitment. We select employees on the basis of their merits, and the key to our success is respect for diversity.
Last year, at Leiden’s first ever Pride celebrations, we scouted out the festivities with a small group of our Leiden office team. We watched the colourful boats go past on the canal and celebrated our diversity at the live music festival on the Beestenmarkt.
This year we wanted to go a step further and decided to become a a sponsor. This put us in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the boat parade and the celebrations on the Lammermarkt in Leiden and allowed us to openly be proud of our colours.
And who knows, maybe next year we will make it onto a boat of our own? Watch this space…
