[All the children]

Hi!

[Girl, Kiara]

Together with six other kids from primary schools in Hoogvliet, Spijkenisse, Vlaardingen, Schiedam, Pernis and Portugal.

• We come from everywhere
• We work together

[Jos van Winsen]

Diversity and Inclusion to me means having a lot of diverse people in our working space. Men, women, old, young, different nationalities, different religions. As much diversity as possible so that it creates a representative reflection of our society and better decision making is possible. Different ideas make discussions and making decisions better which is good for Pernis.

[Miquel]

I did an internship for 5 months and then I applied for a job. Now I’ve been working with Shell for 2 months. I am an operator

[Kiara]

Why is it important to feel welcome and have you experienced it yourself?

[Miquel]

I am a real team player and as an operator you need to be one. When I joined this team my colleagues really took care of me and made me part of the team which really meant a lot to me. I can ask them whatever question and I always get an answer. I find that really pleasant and that’s part of the reason I like coming to work so much

We represent a lot of different cultures that way.

At Shell more than 12 different cultures are represented.

Hacib Benaissa
PTM coordinator and Smat-M Super User

[Hacib]

My name is Hacib Benaissa. I work as a technologist here in Shell Pernis. I arrived in December and I felt really welcome. It is a very diverse and welcoming environment.
I am myself French - Algerian, I work in a Dutch, mainly, environment. I speak three languages: French, Algerian and English. But I am learning Dutch as well. Shell Pernis, and Shell in general, is a very diverse and inclusive company. It provides facilities for you to, basically, be yourself. If you need to pray, there will be a prayer room made available to you. That’s the diversity side. But also inclusiveness means that I will also make an effort to understand my Dutch colleagues and make sure that I am part of their team. And I think Shell Pernis, and Shell in general, allows and provides for that.

[Stefan]

Collaboration within Shell is going really perfect. Because at Shell they are open to hearing people, people that are hard of hearing, for the deaf, for men and women, all kinds of different people, also with handicaps. It just doesn’t matter. And they all try to adapt to each other. The collaboration within Shell...We are always looking on how to solve things and that is working perfectly.

There’s a lot of people here that are really good at something. If you work together, you also learn from each other. Will you be able to learn something from your boss too?

[Linh]

My name is Linh, I am Maintenance Supervisor Excellence and I have a team of 22 men and women. We prepare the maintenance work for the maintenance organisation. We also arrange the scheduling. And aside from that we also make sure our budgets and payments to contractors are not exceeded.

[Video footage]

Medium over shoulder shot of Anouk and Christopher turning their heads to another person at the table and talking to her.

[Anouk]

What do you learn from people that are working for you and what do they learn from you?

[Video footage]

Medium over shoulder shot of Linh answering the kids.

[Linh]

When you say you are a boss, most people think you are just giving orders and telling people what to do. But in my team we actually collaborate very closely together. And my team teaches me a lot. Because some of them have been working for Shell for over 35 years and I have only been with Shell for 6 years. So, they have a lot more knowledge about Pernis than I have. What I bring to the table is maybe a plan and a vision, saying this is where we want to go. To which they explain how that could be achieved, and together we build a plan to achieve it.

[Jaap]

I totally agree with that! And within Shell we find it very important to give each other compliments. Because often you work on something together in a big team. And if aloof that work went very well, we find it important that the hard work is rewarded. At Shell there are lots of ways to reward each other. Sometimes you can even get a nice dinner or trip that way. Just so you will know that your hard work is acknowledged by the rest of the company. And that helps, because it helps employers be more motivated to come to work, which in return helps the company function better as a whole.

Who are you and what do you do?

[Kiara]

Do you get enough space to be yourself? And do you give the same space to others?

[Video footage]

Head shot of Ginny Vreds, Coordinator Business support Projects & Turnarounds, Answering the question.

[Ginny]

Yes, I certainly get enough space to be myself within Shell, at least that’s how I experience it. As for an example of what we do for others: There’s the fact that there are female welders as well as male ones nowadays. As a support team, we need to take that into account and create good facilities for those ladies as well. Another example might be when we want to give the workers outside some tractation for doing good work in a safe manner. Then together with the catering service we will have a look at the different cultures and food habits within the teams and take that in account too.

[Martijn]

Understanding each other is of importance if you want to work together. For example, I lived in Kazakhstan last year. In mid-summer it is about 40 degrees out there. In the midst of Ramadan people are not allowed to eat or drink during the day. In that circumstance it is quite important to understand each other and not to drink a can of coke in front of someone. And if someone in your soccer team is out of focus, then you could start yelling at him, but you could also ask him if he is alright instead. If for example his parents are in the middle of a divorce, then the whole team just needs to step up then. That’s how you work together properly.

‘We understand each other’ is being checked off.

You can conclude that Shell Pernis has a extremely strong team

[Video footage]

Would you also like to know how strong your team or class is?

[Sanne]

Then investigate with the checklist!
