Diversity
We focus on people. And embrace their differences, perspectives and strengths.
Diversity
We focus on people. And embrace their differences, perspectives and strengths. This applies to our clients as well as our employees. We believe that different backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge lead to the best solutions and decisions, and we value the diversity and differences of our stakeholders.
That’s why we work to create a work environment that appreciates each individual for who they are every day. Our motto #weareroedl reflects this commitment.
Equal opportunity
We are committed to equal opportunities and a fair performance principle to ensure that everyone can develop to their full potential with us. We all come from different backgrounds and life situations, and it is precisely this diversity that strengthens us. This is why we actively ensure that nobody is at a disadvantage because of their gender identity, origin, religion, age or physical condition. We don’t view diversity as an added bonus; it’s an integral part of our working environment.
Within our Diversity Management framework, we consider all dimensions of diversity, paying special attention to the intersectionality of multiple aspects that an individual possesses. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and where individual perspectives are appreciated. We support all dedicated employees in ways that meet their specific needs, ensuring their success and job satisfaction.
Equality of opportunity and diversity does not mean that everyone is the same - rather, everyone is equally valuable. This may sound obvious. But we have to constantly question ourselves and make sure that we really live by it.

Participation
As a company, we gain insights into potentials and important impulses through our employee surveys and the perspectives of many individuals on the topic of diversity. At Rödl, we collaboratively shape our work culture and the company through participation.
Since 2022, Rödl has had a Diversity Network where all topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are discussed, debated, and advanced within individual employee ressource groups (ERGs). This network actively participates in all diversity management initiatives.
Our four ERGs—#EmpoweringWomen, #SupportingParents, #CulturalDiversity, and #Pride—highlight some of the most important topics for our colleagues.
By conducting employee surveys and leveraging our Diversity Network, we identify the key areas that matter at Rödl.
Appreciative workplace
We recognize that diversity and the varied competencies and experiences of our colleagues benefit both the company and our clients. As an employer, we actively create an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute and thrive.
The LadiesLunch@Rödl invites all women working at Rödl across Germany to share a lunch break. These gatherings occur both in large online events and at individual locations in person. During these sessions, we discuss experiences and topics relevant to women, providing a platform for meaningful exchange.
Sustainable leadership
Sustainable leadership is of great importance in our company, as it significantly influences the daily work lives of all our employees. Since 2022, Rödl has embraced a leadership model, which serves as the foundation and reference point for our sustainable and values-based leadership culture. All our managers are trained in our leadership model and get to be role models in its implementation.
Individual career opportunities
We support all our committed employees in their professional and personal development. With our various models, we find individual career paths for all employees and offer prospects for promotion. Everyone who wants to advance at Rödl should be given the right tools and support for their career.
Reconciling care work and career
At Rödl, we are a family-friendly company where no one has to choose between their career and family – even at higher career levels. That’s why we continue to expand our offerings related to flexible work schedules and support for individuals engaged in care work.
Care@Rödl is an internal network focused on care work. It encompasses not only parenting and the balance between career and family but also situations where employees care for relatives, friends, or partners. The dual burden faced by these employees creates a unique life situation. The network provides a platform for sharing information and experiences related to specific topics, connecting people who are in similar circumstances.
