Diversity at Trenkwalder

At Trenkwalder, we value diversity deeply and foster a culture of mutual respect and appreciation, regardless of age, abilities, gender, sexual orientation and identity, ethnic or cultural background, or religion. Each team member is a unique individual whose varied experiences and backgrounds enrich us.


Our behavioral guidelines are defined in our Code of Conduct.


Generational Diversity

At Trenkwalder Germany, many departments and offices are made up of mixed-age teams, allowing us to benefit from the skills, qualifications, perspectives, and knowledge that employees of all generations bring. We believe that employees at every stage of their careers are essential to our success.


Work-life balance

Trenkwalder attaches great importance to a family-friendly company policy, because our success depends on satisfied employees. Not only employees who are about to start a family, but also older employees whose family members are in need of care are increasingly looking for flexible working hours, home office solutions, part-time opportunities, parental leave for mothers and fathers alike or sabbaticals to realize private projects when choosing their employer. Trenkwalder supports all employees and finds the right model for everyone.


Equal opportunities for all genders

For Trenkwalder, equal opportunities does not only mean that women should hold management positions. It also means opening up more opportunities for fathers in the area of family life and thus promoting parental leave and part-time work for fathers.

We engage in regular dialog with our employees in order to reduce inequalities and find new opportunities for equal opportunities. Over 40 percent of management positions at Trenkwalder Germany are already held by women. Many male colleagues take the opportunity to go on parental leave. But there is certainly room for more and we will continue to strive to promote equal opportunities.


Inclusion

At Trenkwalder, we are committed to creating a working environment in which our employees can develop their talents and abilities to the full. To this end, we break down barriers in everyday working life and create individual opportunities to cater to special needs.

This begins with the design of the workplace and continues with individual career planning and raising awareness among team members and managers. In this way, we can optimally promote the potential of our employees.


Cultural Diversity

Cultural diversity in the workplace means that companies are open to hiring employees from different backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, religion or culture. For Trenkwalder, diversity is not just an empty buzzword, but a key success factor. After all, a variety of mentalities, perspectives and approaches promotes innovation, boosts motivation, prevents social discrimination and promotes equal opportunities.


Sexual orientation & gender identity

The sexual orientation and identity of an employee is often described as a "private matter", which often leads to the true identity being hidden or disguised in order to avoid discrimination. At Trenkwalder, everyone is allowed to be who they are. Because only an open-minded and open corporate culture releases synergies and promotes equal cooperation. This benefits employees and the company in equal measure.
