Sustainability at ]init[: Society and Personnel Development

We embrace diversity, train young people, offer opportunities for lateral entry and encourage personal commitment. Diversity and inclusion in everyday working life create a feel-good atmosphere. This is not the only reason why many employees stay with us for more than five years.

Nachhaltiges Handeln bedeutet für uns auch, ein Safe Space für unsere Mitarbeitenden zu sein. Wir fördern und leben Diversität als offenes, kommunikatives Miteinander.

Mental Health

At every ]init[ location, we have trained employees as Health Ambassadors who are the first point of contact and discussion partners for mental health. We are setting an example for the removal of taboos surrounding mental illness in the workplace.

06

Mindfulness

We offer regular meditation and yoga sessions for employees in order to embed mindfulness and breaks in everyday working life.

]init[ Cares

To support our employees, we have launched the "]init[ Cares" program - with information sessions, keynotes and events on physical and mental health in the home office, we create real added value for everyday working life at home. "]init[ Cares" organizes over 40 events for employees at all locations each year outside of everyday project work. 

LGBTQIA+ empowerment

Each location has a Rainbow Community with Rainbow Ambassadors who are always available to address LGBTIQ* concerns. They are on hand with advice and support in everyday working life and beyond and look forward to regular after-work hangouts with the community with various events and get-togethers. 

Diversity is not just a buzzword for us. Every day, we create a respectful coexistence of different influences and cultures at ]init[.
