Our German DEI committee is passionate about making our workplace better, safer and inclusive for all.

• We want to create a safe and confidential environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences with us.
• We want to host events and initiatives in Germany and beyond; raising awareness, getting into dialogue and celebrating across the board.
• We want to hear everyone's ideas on what you'd like to see.

When the invasion of Ukraine began, Early Phase colleagues in Berlin immediately began coordinating a massive charitable initiative to collect and deliver much-needed food, medicine and supplies for Ukraine. Employees helped buy, collect, pack, coordinate delivery, and donate their "Recognition points" as vouchers from our Bravo! internal rewards and recognition platform. Colleagues in Ukraine helped distribute the goods and made sure they get to areas in need.

We kicked off summer with a special “Get Together Day” held in the parking area outside the Berlin office, engaging in a full day of games, social activities, participating in face-to-face team-building meetings — and most importantly, meeting in person again! 

In addition to food, fun and fellowship, the occasion was also a learning and informative opportunity for the 250 colleagues in attendance to take a guided tour of the European Distribution Centre (EUDC), celebrate pride month, meet the DEI committee, attend a staff assembly and meet with colleagues from HR and IT on any questions or concerns.
