May 23 is German Diversity Day

For the eleventh time, Diversity Day will take place in Germany on May 23, 2023. Diversity Day was called to life by Charta der Vielfalt and is an annual, nationwide day of action that calls on organizations to celebrate diversity and raise social awareness about it. Gemino signed Charta der Vielfalt in 2022 and will participate in Diversity Day this year with company-wide activities:

We will use Diversity Day to examine our guide to inclusive language. For us, as a language service provider, there is nothing more central than language itself. Since discrimination can already start with language – and is often inadvertent – we want to talk about our guide to inclusive language in order to raise awareness and understanding for inclusive language and collect more ideas and thoughts on this topic.

In addition, to mark Diversity Day, we will be introducing pronouns to our email signatures. Firstly, to highlight our awareness of the fact that various gender identities exist, and secondly, to help the people we communicate with in our international business environment.

In addition, our team will take a quiz on the topic of diversity followed by a discussion.

Lisa Polster and Jaqueline Pulver oversee the implementation of Charta der Vielfalt at Gemino.
