Diversity

For Bertelsmann, the diversity of its employees is vital for creativity, making it a cornerstone of our company’s entrepreneurial success. Diversity increases innovation, competitiveness, and capability to grow. We want to identify, deploy, and develop the potential and skills of our employees to the fullest extent – regardless of gender, age, origin, disability, or sexual orientation. Anyone who wishes to contribute to this diversity is welcome at Bertelsmann!

Equal Opportunity

At Bertelsmann, more than half of the workforce is female. The share of women is currently at 35 percent in top management and at 36 percent in senior management. We want to further increase the proportion of women in top and senior management and have initiated a variety of measures at company level.
