Continuous, sustainable, effective
Let’s face it: creating equality, diversity and inclusion in companies is no easy task. It’s a process. Not a project that is completed after term X and then “we’re done”. It gets down to the nitty-gritty, to the essence: structures that have grown over the years, the corporate culture, established processes.
We support you in mastering this challenge.
The Employers for Equality programme achieves this through:
- Raising awareness among executives and management as important agents of change
- Open good practice sharing among member companies for specific target groups and topics
- (Online) training & insights for your management, executives and employees
- Regular exchange formats for specific target groups
- Empowerment spaces for people who are affected by discrimination
- Continuous support for you as well as ongoing reflection and further development of the programme’s methods and formats
- Strategic advice & support (on request)
The Employers for Equality programme is offered almost exclusively online. This means that your employees can take advantage of the programme regardless of their location and without any travel costs.

Content of the programme
Basic training on gender equity & diversity
“We are still at the very beginning of these issues.”
This feeling prevents many companies from positioning themselves on equality and diversity. We help you with the first and second steps. The basic training teaches the fundamentals and sensitises your employees and managers to the topic.
Trainings & Insights
“So how do we go about this in concrete terms?”
Within the framework of (virtual) workshops, seminars and lectures, we provide you with expert knowledge about In virtual workshops and lectures, we provide you with expert knowledge on the various dimensions of diversity such as age, gender, religious affiliation, social background, inclusion and much more. We cover topics such as anti-racism, privilege and unconscious bias. Of course, always with concrete reference to working life and practical impulses, guided by the most distinguished experts.
Experience Exchanges
“Do you have any experience with this?”
Powerful synergies are created in our Experience Exchanges: Participants learn directly from each other and share practical solutions. Best practices and learnings from other companies are thus made directly usable. This can involve a wide variety of topics: e.g. internal network groups, the use of artificial intelligence for a bias-free future or fair salary structures.
Roadmaps – our learning paths
“Can I get really intensive training?”
Yes, and it’s very simple: we also offer a series of events that are precisely tailored to the respective target group and build on each other for optimum learning success. Included are exchange formats for the group. At the end, the participants who took part receive a corresponding certificate.
We currently offer the roadmaps for diversity beginners, diversity officers and managers.
Empowerment Spaces
“‘How can I better protect myself from discrimination?’”
Wir bieten einen Ort der Begegnung und des geschützten Austauschs für unterschiedliche Gruppen von Menschen, die von Diskriminierung betroffen sind, zum Beispiel BIPoC und Schwarze Menschen. In solchen Räumen können Erfahrungen geteilt und praxisnahe Strategien zum Umgang mit (Mikro)Agressionen gerade auch am Arbeitsplatz entwickelt werden.
Our Employers for Equality Community
“How do other companies actually do that?”
We are a platform for mutual support in community with our partner companies, cooperation partners and our speakers. With your membership, you become part of a constantly growing network that is committed to equality and diversity. We organise virtual meetings for HR & diversity managers from member companies to exchange experiences in a spirit of trust. This allows you to benefit from each other’s experiences and learnings and help each other move forward.
Annual Members Conference
“How do I create a strong connection with other partners?”
Bei unserer Jahreskonferenz möchten wir jeweils das vergangene Programmjahr Revue passieren lassen, Ihnen einen Ausblick auf die Schwerpunkte im kommenden Jahr geben und Sie nicht zuletzt für persönlichen Austausch und Vernetzung zusammenbringen.
Hier erhalten Sie zudem die aktuellsten Erkenntnisse zum Thema Gender Equality & Diversity und treffen Vertreter*innen aller Mitgliedsunternehmen und -organisationen zum Kennenlernen – virtuell oder „in echt”.
Accompanying process
“And who can help me with questions?”
We can help! Because we are there for you – whether it’s about onboarding your company or organisation or about requests, questions and feedback during the course of the partnership. We stay in contact with you and regularly exchange information with you as part of our partner management. Because we want you to be satisfied and feel that you are receiving the best possible support.
