FLD has accompanied us on our journey for "Diversity & Gender Equality" from the very beginning. From the initial assessment to Unconscious Bias Lunch & Learns and workshops on female empowerment to specific consulting services, their outstanding expertise paired with an agile customer focus allowed them to come up with customized content and solutions in the blink of an eye. The collaboration is constantly exciting, professional and always a pleasure.

It is a strategic goal for OFFIS to become an even more attractive employer, especially for female employees, and to encourage them in particular to take on more leadership and management tasks. With the help of their gender check, the consultants from FLD helped us to identify the levers required for this within the company and to jointly develop a holistic strategy for greater gender equality. FLD also supports us pragmatically and with great expertise during the implementation process.

For our leadership tandems in the "Top Sharing" project, we were looking for a coaching team that had experience with this special form of leadership. We were already impressed by Birgit Röschert's expertise, humor and warm-heartedness during our first meeting. Our coachees confirmed this: "We were able to look at our collaboration from a completely different perspective. The learnings have a sustainable effect on our everyday life" and "Very experienced personality with a lot of empathy, high competence and expertise in leading in tandem" are just two of the feedbacks. What can we say? "It's a match!"

Thanks to FLD’s support of our Finance is Female program, we have been able to offer several successful and extremely interesting workshops for our female participants. The feedback has been consistently positive, which is why we are always happy to work with FLD. Particular praise was given to having had a speaker with many years of experience in banking who thus is familiar with the industry’s challenges.

Taking part in the 'Female Professional Development Program' was an exceptional benefit for me. The mixture of intensive training sessions and the exchange with other women motivated and strengthened me. Connecting with other ambitious women also helped me to define and approach my professional goals more effectively. I particularly appreciated the practical exercises on self-marketing and networking, which helped me to deepen my soft skills and prepare for the next step in my career.
