One step away: training day e-steps

One step away: training day e-steps

Monday 7 March 2022 Drivolution organised a training day on safety and defensive use of e-steps for Cronos.

We see them everwhere in big cities and can’t imagine a life without them. E-steps are also increasingly common in suburban traffic.

Next to electric cars and electric bikes, electric steps are on the rise.

With the One-Step-Away step training, Cronos Groep anticipates potential hazard (and related costs) when you are on your way with your e-step.  We also focused on safety on the road in general.

Various topics were covered during the training:

  • Agility track
  • Step skills
  • Manoeuvres
  • Roadcode
  • Equipment check

The crew of tv-programme “Kijk uit!” filmed the training, view the episode (link) here.

Cronos Groep actively works on the SDGs; this initiative focusses on the following goals:

  • SDG 3: Good health and well-being.
  • SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities
  • SDG 13: Climate action
  • SDG 17: Partnership for the goals

Inclusion in Media and Marketing: Keynote by Clusity

Inclusion in Media and Marketing:

Keynote by Clusity

A lot has been said and written on diversity and inclusion, and yet we still face so many challenges in our attempt to make the corporate world more diverse and inclusive.

On 31 August, Clusity, which is part of Cronos Groep, organised an event where keynote speakers Soraya Hayani and Kristel Vanderlinden highlighted the importance of inclusion in the media and marketing, and by extension in the society we live in and model.

Clusity’s key principle, reflected in the keynote, is ‘betterment’: How can we demonstrate our best practices? How can we improve? Who and what could be useful in this proces?

The keynote speakers explained how marketing agencies handle diversity and inclusion and the importance of hiring D&I experts to enhance marketing and recruitment campaigns. A perfect example is how making job ads gender neutral by adding ‘m/f/x’ is far from being sufficient to attract all target groups. Men and women react differently to specific vocabulary or grammatical constructions. Other aspects need to be considered as well to achieve inclusive job ad campaigns.

The same exercise applies to ad campaigns for brands. The consumer only sees the end product: a billboard or poster, gender neutral attire, etc.  A whole brainstorm and design proces precedes. Big brands aim at diversity in general and not only gender diversity.

You will find a few example cases for inspiration in the presentation. The keynote ends with six takeaways to get on with:

  1. Engagement
  2. Courage
  3. Bias awareness
  4. Curiosity
  5. Cultural intelligence
  6. Cooperation
