Insight Session:
Allyship in Action
german
Insight Session:
Allyship in Action 🇩🇪
Datum & Zeit: 30.06. | 10 - 11:30 Uhr
Inclusion entsteht nicht durch Richtlinien allein, sondern durch Menschen, die aktiv füreinander einstehen. Doch wie wird man von einer wohlwollenden Person zu einem echten Ally für die LGBTIQ+ Community? In dieser 90-minütigen Online-Session schlagen wir die Brücke zwischen theoretischem Verständnis und gelebter Praxis. Wir konzentrieren uns darauf, wie Allyship als erlernbare Verhaltenskompetenz im Arbeitsalltag verankert werden kann, um ein wertschätzendes Umfeld für alle zu schaffen.
Ziel der Session ist es, Unsicherheiten abzubauen und dir konkrete Handlungsoptionen mitzugeben. Wir zeigen auf, dass wirksames Allyship viele Gesichter hat und sowohl in der direkten Situation als auch durch subtile, beständige Gesten im Hintergrund stattfindet.
Hinweis: Die Session findet auf Deutsch statt.

Insight Session:
Psychological safety in everyday working life
german
Insight Session:
Small gestures, big impact: fostering psychological safety in everyday working life 🇩🇪
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.

Um 16 Uhr findet die selbe Session auf Englisch statt.

Insight Session:
LGBTIQ+ at the workplace
english
Insight Session:
LGBTIQ+ at the workplace 🇬🇧
Date & Time: October 12, 2026 | 4 - 5 PM (CEST)
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.

Parenting – queer perspectives in the workplace
german
Focus Session:
Parenting as a shared responsibility – queer perspectives in the workplace 🇩🇪
Date & Time: October 29, 2026 | 2 - 3 PM (CET)
Parenting takes many forms – whether in heteronormative or rainbow families, parental leave for all parents, or fertility treatments. What many parents have in common is the dual burden of balancing work and family life. In this focus session, we’ll discuss how companies can recognise and support parenting in all its diversity. Sarah Greiner-Miethe will explore the topic with us from both a personal perspective – as a mum in a rainbow family – and a professional one – as Head of People & Culture at GAMOMAT. She’ll share her personal experiences and her views on genuine equality, flexibility and a corporate culture in which employees don’t have to hide their family circumstances.
Please note: The session will be held in German.
