Activities that Promote Diversity at BME
BME benefits from the diverse know-how of its employees and wants to further promote diversity within the company. Discover more about the activities which help us create a more diverse workforce:
Membership at Advance
By becoming a member of Advance, we would like to promote our female employees and support them in their career goals. Advance is an association that aims to promote women in leadership positions. The network offers events, workshops, mentorship and advice to women in management positions and equips ambitious women managers with skills and leadership qualities. BME has set itself the goal of promoting talent and thereby increasing the proportion of women in management positions.
Gender Diversity Network
The Gender Diversity Network is an internal platform on which women and men actively share their experiences with each other. Its objective is to generate ideas for fostering greater diversity at BME and to put them into action. The network was founded in 2018 and is now operational at all BME business sites.
Parents at Work
Finding the balance between work and family is an ongoing challenge, especially for working parents who often feel that there are not enough hours in the day. That’s why BME offers the peer coaching program Parents@Work to all working parents across all locations, whether expecting the arrival of a new baby or having young children at home. New parents are empowered to reach their personal and professional potential through coaching, exchanges and encouragement.
Embracing Diversity: LGBT+ Network
At BME, we take pride in our diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone is valued, no matter their sexual orientation, gender expression, or identity. Our LGBT+ network is a space for all employees who want to foster a LGBT+ friendly environment. Participating in Pride events in Madrid, Zurich and Warsaw showcases our strong commitment to this cause. We firmly believe that an environment built on acceptance and equality fosters innovation, teamwork, and personal growth.
Partnership with REDI
BME proudly collaborates with REDI (Red Empresarial por la Diversidad e Inclusión) to enhance workplace diversity and inclusion. This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ employees by providing essential resources, training, and a supportive environment. Through REDI’s initiatives, we aim to ensure that every team member feels valued and respected, aligning with our broader goal of fostering an inclusive and thriving workplace.
