At the Open and Universal Science (OPUS) Project final conference, our own Raquel Vega Rubio opened the pilot action segment by spotlighting what made Work Package 4 so impactful: collaboration, contextualisation, and commitment from the five pilot organisations. 💡 From co-creating action plans to testing the Research Assessment Framework (RAF) and OSCAM2, these pilots worked relentlessly to rethink how openness and career progression intersect. 👥 As Raquel shared: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘗4 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴.

Before crafting strategies, I map what talent thinks, feels, sees, hears, and does. This keeps every visibility and engagement initiative grounded in real needs, while staying human-centric. Question: Which quadrant tends to be overlooked in your organisation? #MarcaEmpleadora #EmployerBranding #TalentEngagement #VisibilityCoach #HumanCentric

✨ Employer branding is the new foundation of public sector recruitment in 2026. ✨ As hiring challenges evolve, agencies are learning that the story they tell about their workplace matters just as much as the jobs they post. Our latest guide, The Complete Guide to Public Sector Employer Branding, explores how to build an authentic brand that attracts purpose-driven candidates and strengthens long-term retention. Here’s what you’ll learn: 📊 Why perception matters. Job seekers are evaluating government employers based on values, culture, and impact — not just salary or benefits. In fact, 75% of Gen Z job seekers research an employer’s societal impact before applying. 🏛️ How to define your agency story. Assess what your brand says today, identify what makes your workplace unique, and craft a clear Employer Value Proposition that aligns with your mission. 💬 How to bring your brand to life. From employee testimonials to branded landing pages and personalized outreach, technology makes it possible to showcase your agency’s culture at scale. ⚙️ How to measure and evolve. Use candidate feedback and CRM tools to refine your approach, ensuring every interaction — from job posts to onboarding — reflects your values and purpose. Public sector agencies are perfectly positioned to offer what many job seekers want most: meaningful work that drives real impact. The key is telling that story clearly and consistently. 📘 Read the full guide and start building your agency’s employer brand today: https://bit.ly/3I4Na2E

What happens when research stops treating communities as “the Other”? We’re thrilled to have Mónica Sánchez-Hernández join as a guest speaker on the final Research Design for Social Impact course of the year. Mónica is an Indigenous-rooted, working-class woman from the Global South/Global Majority. She is currently completing her PhD in Social Policy at the University of Bristol. Her current research examines understandings of manhood using art-based methods and decolonising methodologies to study intimate partner violence. Mónica’s talk will address some of the issues of an unbalanced relationship between positioning participants as “the Other” and researchers as “Us.” She will share findings from her research, including instigating the “notions of manhood” of males accused of intimate partner violence in Oaxaca, Mexico.

As we enable visibility for women and gender diverse media-makers throughout this month as part of our International Women's Day Campaign, our colleague, Fer González Morales, Learning Design Manager at RNW Media, shares with us below how storytelling shapes visibility and representation of women and gender diverse people in media: "Stories shape how we see the world—and who we see in it. How we write about women and gender diverse people in media is therefore critical to enabling their visibility and representation in media: because giving visibility is first step towards gaining meaningful representation. Over the past years, our work at RNW Media and RNTC Media Training Centre has focused on understanding what stories do to people. Stories create belonging. They open new horizons of possibility. They deepen the complexity of situations by offering multiple perspectives. And they forge emotional connections that help us make sense of the world around us. Stories are the ways we relate to one another—the social links we create and move with in this world. Our flagship RNTC Media Training Centre course, Digital Storytelling, explores how storytelling can help us build better worlds. Rather than relying on persuasion or emotional manipulation, we focus on agency: how stories create opportunities for people to act, participate, think together, and reimagine the worlds they inhabit. At its core, the course centres agency and dialogue as essential elements of digital storytelling. It embraces meaningful digital transformation as a way to connect with stories, events, and each other in more intentional ways. In many ways, this perspective echoes feminist and decolonial approaches that challenge systems of control, domination, and competition—systems that extract resources like attention. Instead, it focuses on rebuilding inclusive, peaceful, and nourishing worlds. Through this approach, experiences, solutions, and initiatives from local communities can come to the forefront. By highlighting the work already being done, we help amplify voices that have too often remained in the shadows—especially those of women and gender-diverse people—expanding their visibility, recognition, and impact in storytelling and media."

#NeurodiversityWeek: Designing Change for Real People Most transformation frameworks assume people adapt the same way. They don’t. At ALA Consulting, we design change based on how people think, process, and respond - not how we expect them to. Introducing our #Neuroinclusive #ChangeModel: A cognition-aware approach to designing transformation that works for diverse minds. Because sustainable change is not about standardisation. It’s about inclusive acceleration. Adapt. Lead. Accelerate. ALA Consulting

Read the new interview by Michiel Kolman 🏳️‍🌈, Chair of the Inclusive Publishing & Literacy (IPL) Committee, with author Jens Schadendorf 📍 Inclusion, Leadership and the Power of Stories The conversation explores the evolving global landscape of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion, and the broader societal and political shifts shaping these discussions. As Schadendorf notes: “Workplaces are not only economic institutions but also environments where social norms are shaped and opportunities distributed.” At a time of increasing polarization around DEI, the interview reflects on how companies are navigating different regional dynamics while continuing to advance inclusion, and why this remains closely linked to innovation, talent, and long-term competitiveness. The discussion also highlights the role of storytelling in shaping perceptions of leadership: “Stories also provide role models.” 🔗 Read the full interview: https://shorturl.at/dQ7un #IPA #DEI #Diversity
