Geleerde lessen uit interventieonderzoek naar arbeidsmarktdiscriminatie
article
Lessons learned from intervention research into labour market discrimination In this essay, we share the lessons learned during the implementation of a large­scale intervention study (Pilot Nudging) in which TNO, together with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW), has studied the ap­plicability, effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of three interventions aimed at reducing the role of prejudice against people with a non­Western migration background in the recruitment and selection process. The inter­ventions were studied in 19 medium to large Dutch organizations. In total, we describe five main lessons, addressing the methodological challenges of the study design; the importance of broad involvement of participating organizations; the importance of intensive guidance of the organizations; managing expectations towards candidates; and the complexity of the recruitment and selection process. By sharing our lessons, we aim to con­tribute to new initiatives by researchers, policymakers and professionals that aim to prevent discrimination in the recruitment and selection process.
