Culture Eats Strategy For Breakfast

Inclusive March Challenge 2026

WoMen in Finance Belgium and Multicultural Network in Finance are kicking off the ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ โ€” and this year, weโ€™re diving into one powerful truth:

๐˜พ๐™ช๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š ๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š๐™œ๐™ฎ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™—๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ ๐™›๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ

Because no matter how strong a strategy is, itโ€™s the everyday behaviours, shared values, and lived experiences within teams that truly shape impact, inclusion, and longโ€‘term success.

Throughout March, teams across the financial sector will explore what culture really means: how it forms, how it influences wellbeing and psychological safety, and how it can empower individuals to thrive. Each week, you will have the opportunity to reflect, connect, and leave with concrete, actionable insights you can bring back to your teams.

This challenge is all about:

๐ŸŒ Celebrating the richness of our diverse backgrounds
๐Ÿค Strengthening team bonds
๐Ÿง  Boosting wellbeing and psychological safety
๐Ÿ’ก Building cultures where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported

Multicultural Network in Finance prioritises increasing the visibility of multicultural role models (inside and outside the financial sector), recruiting and promoting multicultural talents, making the finance culture more inclusive and addressing biases in HR practices and microaggressions at work.

Why is such a network necessary?

Results of our surveys are telling. Unconscious biases, micro-aggressions and lack of role models make the career experience for employees with a different origin much harder. Demographics are also clear : Brussels is the most multicultural city in the world. Without efforts, too many talents do not get access to our sector. Over 2/3 of employees with sub Saharan African origin or Morocco origin do experience racist micro-aggressions, and half of them confirm it impacts their self-confidence and their career.
