Het belang van leesbaarheid – schrijf op taalniveau B1-niveau
Als je als organisatie werkt aan je diversiteits- en inclusie doelstellingen dan moet je rekening houden met de leesbaarheid van je teksten. Je wilt niet dat mensen zich buitengesloten voelen omdat teksten op een te complexe manier zijn geschreven. Het gewenste taalniveau van teksten is B1 op basis van het CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). De overgrote meerderheid van de mensen begrijpt B1 (dit is het basisniveau). En als je dit nastreeft zal je zo min mogelijk te maken hebben met uitsluiting op basis van taalniveau. De leesbaarheid van je functiebeschrijvingen is erg belangrijk als je een divers personeelsbestand wilt. En je doelstellingen op het gebied van diversiteit en inclusie wilt bereiken. Het volgen van de regels voor het schrijven op taalniveau B1 kan je hierbij helpen. Maar het kan moeilijker blijken dan het lijkt. Wat je nodig hebt, is een beetje hulp van de technologie. Op deze pagina worden verschillende documenten met betrekking tot diversiteit en inclusie en leesbaarheid gepubliceerd.
