Allyship in Action

Insight Session:
Allyship in Action 🇩🇪
Date & Time: 30.06. | 10 am
Inclusion isn’t achieved through policies alone, but through people who actively stand up for one another. But how does one go from being a well-meaning person to a true ally for the LGBTIQ+ community? In this 90-minute online session, we bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. We focus on how allyship can be embedded as a learnable behavioural skill in everyday working life to create a supportive environment for everyone.
The aim of the session is to reduce uncertainty and provide you with concrete options for action. We demonstrate that effective allyship takes many forms and occurs both in direct situations and through subtle, consistent gestures in the background.

Insight Session:
Mikroagressionen & Psychologische Sicherheit
german
Insight Session:
Mikroagressionen & psychologische Sicherheit 🇩🇪
Date & Time: 02. September 2026 | 10 - 11 AM (CEST)
Do we actively choose inclusion every day? A respectful working environment does not arise of its own accord, but grows out of the culture we shape within the team on a daily basis. The foundation for this is psychological safety: the confidence that, within the team, we can contribute new ideas, ask questions and be ourselves in all our diversity.
Yet it is often subtle, unconscious patterns of exclusion that quietly undermine this safety in our day-to-day lives. It is not uncommon for there to be a gap between our good intentions and the actual impact this has on others.
In this 60-minute online session, we’ll take a look together at how psychological safety can be put into practice in our day-to-day working lives. We’ll provide you with insightful ideas and concrete, easy-to-implement tools to help you reflect on your own behaviour, break down barriers and foster a strong ‘speak-up’ culture in your workplace.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Psychological safety as a foundation: Why a safe space free from fear is the key to high-performing, innovative and diverse teams.
- Intent vs. Impact: How we can sharpen our awareness of subtle patterns of exclusion (microaggressions) and adopt a focus on impact.
- Inclusive Habits: How we create genuine space for diverse life experiences through small, conscious changes to our daily habits.
- The Recovery Move: A confident 3-step model for dealing professionally with unintentional mistakes in everyday working life.
Details on how to take part:
- Where: Online (link to follow after registration)
- Who: This session is aimed at anyone interested in gaining a fresh perspective and who wants to play an active role in shaping team culture.
Note: This session takes place in German.

Unsere Insight Session rund um das Thema LGBTIQ+ am Arbeitsplatz, passend zum Coming Out Day (am 11. Oktober 2026).
LGBTIQ+ - Eine vielfältige Community
Teilnehmenden werden die Grundlagen des Themenbereichs LGBTIQ+ Diversity vermittelt. Durch Erklärung des Akronyms, der Definition und Unterscheidung von sexueller Orientierung, Geschlechtsidentität und zugewiesenem Geschlecht erlangen Mitarbeitende ein umfangreiches Verständnis von queerer Lebensvielfalt. Dieses Wissen legt den Grundstein für ein respektvolles Miteinander und einem Arbeitsklima, in dem sich alle wohlfühlen und entfalten können.iskriminierung und Mikro-Aggressionen, Allyship
Sensibilisierung für Herausforderungen
Im zweiten Themenblock werden spannende Studien herangezogen, um Teilnehmende für verschiedenste Herausforderungen queerer Menschen im Arbeitsleben zu sensibilisieren. Unter Anderem werden die Schwierigkeit mit dem Coming Out, Diskriminierungserfahrungen und Mikroaggressionen thematisiert. Auch für die gesellschaftliche und rechtliche Lage von LGBTIQ+ wird hier sensibilisiert.
Allyship - Das Wir zählt
Ein inklusives, wertschätzendes Arbeitsumfeld kann nur entstehen, wenn die Kultur und Mitarbeitende entsprechende Werte vertreten. Wie können wir dazu beitragen, dass sich alle wohlfühlen und weniger Raum für Mikroaggressionen und Diskriminierung entsteht? Wir geben Empfehlungen, die jede:r sich zu Herzen nehmen kann, und somit zu inklusiven Strukturen beiträgt.
Geschützter Raum für Austausch und Interaktion
Trotz des virtuellen Formats bieten diese Schulung Raum für Interaktion, denn begleitet werden die Inhalte von interaktiven Live-Umfragen. Unser Online- Tool bietet ebenso die Möglichkeit, anonyme Fragen zu stellen. Das macht es für viele oft angenehmer, ihre Wissenslücken zu diesem Thema zu adressieren. Im letzten Teil, dem Q&A, werden alle Fragen der Mitarbeitenden in einem geschützten, respektvollen Raum beantwortet.
Hinweis:
Um 16 Uhr findet die selbe Session auf Englisch statt.

Insight Session:
LGBTIQ+ at the workplace 🇬🇧
Date & Time: October 12, 2026 | 4 - 5 PM
An initiative for the Coming Out Day on October 11, 2026.
LGBTIQ+ - A diverse community
Participants are taught the essentials of LGBTIQ+ diversity. By explaining the acronym, the definition and distinction of sexual orientation, gender identity and assigned gender, employees gain a comprehensive understanding of queer identities. This knowledge lays the foundation for respectful interaction and a working environment in which everyone can feel comfortable and thrive.
Raising awareness of challenges
In the second part, exciting studies will be referred in order to sensitize participants to various challenges queer people face in their working lives. Among other things, the difficulty of coming out, experiences of discrimination and microaggressions are addressed. The social and legal situation of LGBTIQ+ people is also discussed here.
Allyship - The „we“ counts
An inclusive, appreciative work environment can only develop if the culture and employees reflect corresponding values. How can we contribute to making everyone feel comfortable and creating less room for microaggressions and discrimination? We give recommendations that everyone can take to heart and thus contribute to inclusive structures.
Protected space for exchange and interaction
Despite the virtual format, this training offers room for interaction, as the content is accompanied by interactive live surveys. Our online tool also offers the possibility to ask anonymous questions. This often makes it more comfortable for people to address their knowledge gaps on the subject. In the final part, the Q&A, all employee questions are answered in a protected, respectful space.
Note: The same session will be held in German at 10 AM.

Elternschaft ist vielfältig – ob heteronormative- oder Regenbogenfamilien, Elternzeit für alle Elternteile oder Kinderwunschbehandlungen. Was viele Eltern verbindet, ist die Doppelbelastung zwischen Beruf und Familie. In dieser Fokus Session sprechen wir darüber, wie Unternehmen Elternschaft in all ihrer Vielfalt sehen und unterstützen können. Sarah Greiner-Miethe beleuchtet mit uns das Thema sowohl von der persönlichen Seite als Mama in einer Regenbogenfamilie als auch von der professionellen Seite als Head of People & Culture bei GAMOMAT und teilt persönliche Erfahrungen und ihre Haltung zu echter Gleichberechtigung, Flexibilität und einer Unternehmenskultur, in der Mitarbeitende ihre familiären Realitäten nicht verstecken müssen.

Clearing Up Misunderstandings and Strengthening Collaboration: How We Can Communicate Better with Each Other as a Team, Both Verbally and in Writing
Successful collaboration doesn’t come from rules alone, but from people who truly understand one another. But how do you confidently navigate short chat messages, different communication styles, and the constant evolution of our language?
In this 90-minute online session, we bridge the gap between useful background information and real-world team practices. We’ll focus on how you can resolve misunderstandings before they arise — without any moralizing.
The goal of the session is to reduce uncertainty and provide you with concrete tips for your day-to-day work. We’ll show you that effective collaboration has many facets and is reflected both in your daily choice of words and in your openness to other communication styles.
Here’s what to expect:
- Writing vs. Speaking: Why short chat messages often come across as harsher to the recipient than intended, and how to avoid misunderstandings in Teams or Slack.
- Direct vs. Indirect: Why some people address issues very directly, while others prefer to phrase things diplomatically between the lines, and how both sides can work well together as a team.
- Language in Transition: Why new terms are emerging in our modern workplace and how they help us make everyday life clearer and fairer for everyone involved.
- The Tool for Clarification: How to calmly address awkward comments or misunderstandings in a meeting and defuse the situation.
Details on Participation:
- Where: Online (link will be provided after registration)
- Who: This session is for anyone who wants to improve communication within their team, reduce misunderstandings, and take away practical tips for everyday life.
Note: This session will be held in German.
