D&I wirkt gut für Dich und Dein Team

Michael Stuber has contributed to develop a very specific Bayer MaterialScience storyline, which integrates Diversity & Inclusion as a business imperative supporting the execution of our business strategy. Through his experience in rolling out Diversity & Inclusion programs in global companies, he has been and is a valuable sparring partner with high credibility for our top leaders as well as the members of the Executive Committee.

European Diversity provided us with insightful and professional support in the consolidation of our new Diversity and inclusion strategy. Their experience and proactive, holistic approach helped us to take a different look at how we do things, and build a solid business-value driven approach to reinforce our relationships with the stakeholders and position D & I differently in the company.

Michael Stuber is a passionate guide and role model in the space of diversity and inclusion. We first worked under his guidance on a bottom-up approach in which we engaged our supply chain operator population in a dialogue. Based on this population’s feedback, the need was very clear to create greater awareness around the topic with our line management population. Starting from the propelling potential principle and a framework of various biases, we trained our total supervisory population. In working with Michael, I appreciated very much his effort to tailoring messages towards our needs and his huge experience in what works and does not work in this space. He puts things in perspective, not only from a business point of view but also from a societal.

Michael Stuber worked with us at Arup Ireland to review our current D&I programme. We found Michael to be insightful, organised and very knowledgeable. Michael’s great strength lies in his face-to-face communication skills and his ability to communicate complex D&I topics to any audience. Michael is able to quickly pick up on themes and underlying issues that may be more difficult for those working ‘in the business’ to see. His findings acted as a catalyst to the next step of our D&I journey.

At HSBC, D&I is a business-lead initiative and as a pan-European committee of managers we were glad to have European Diversity's external perspective and input. Michael Stuber's business acumen and his striving for individual solutions helped to advance the regional D&I agenda taking into account business and country needs. We look forward to continue our collaboration in the future.

We highly appreciate Michael Stuber being an integral member of our Diversity & Inclusion core team at Bayer MaterialScience. From the beginning of our cooperation, he has been listening to the status achieved so far and contributed with his broad experience and as a knowledgeable subject matter expert. He supports our initiative with high customer-orientation and flexibility according to specific ad-hoc as well as long-term needs. The fruitful cooperation is not only related to the field of Diversity & Inclusion itself but embraces as well change management for sustainable achievements.

I had the privilege of working with Michael as a part of the World HRD Congress 25th Anniversary Diversity and Inclusion program.  Michael prepared a special kick off program for the event that was very inspirational and helped us start the day on the right note. His fact based insights are very impactful and an asset to any diversity and inclusion program by insuring that the bottom line impacts are visible and real. He is very dedicated to meeting the needs of the conference or program and to being able to customize and still beautifully maintain the integrity of his work.

Michael hat uns maßgeblich bei der Weiterentwicklung von DEI unterstützt. Seine Erfahrung und sein Wissen in Verbindung mit einer sehr klaren Art, Überlegungen und Empfehlungen auszudrücken, haben sich als äußerst wertvoll für die Ausarbeitung unserer DEI-Strategie und unserer Aktionspläne wie auch für die Vorbereitung von Gesprächen mit der Unternehmensleitung erwiesen. Seine Anstrengungen, die Organisation und HR-Prozesse kennen zu lernen, führten zu einer optimalen Nutzung vorhandener Abläufe als Grundpfeiler für weitere Maßnahmen und zur Entwicklung neuer, passgenauer DEI-Initiativen. Seine Zusammenarbeit mit der Unternehmensleitung im Rahmen von Interviews, Einzelcoachings oder Management-Trainings war sehr wertvoll und zielführend. Es ist sehr angenehm, mit Michael über Monate hinweg zu DEI zusammenzuarbeiten.

Wir von TX Markets haben uns für European Diversity als Partner für unsere Diversity Trainings für unsere Technologie-Führungskräfte aller drei Unternehmen, Tutti, Ricardo und Homegate, entschieden. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Michael war hervorragend. Er entwickelte einen strukturierten Ansatz, der uns offene und fundierte Diskussionen über wichtige aber auch heikle Themen ermöglichte. Er half uns bei der Erarbeitung eines eigenen Konzepts zur Förderung von Diversität auf interaktive Art und Weise. Dank seiner umfangreichen Erfahrung und Kenntnisse konnte er uns auf einem Prozess begleiten, der Offenheit, psychologische Sicherheit und einen geschäftlichen Ansatz förderte und weder an Politik noch an Firmenjargon gebunden war. So gelang es uns, konkrete Fragen zu beantworten: wie wir eine vielfältigere Belegschaft und Führungsriege entwickeln und binden können, um unsere Innovations- und Technologieziele zu erreichen.
