Time for action? Should I write something? Maybe. But what exactly?<\/p>\n<p>That we naturally support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charta-der-vielfalt.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charta der Vielfalt<\/a>? That we have been communicating in a gender-neutral way for years and nobody gets tongue tied? That we have been a colorful and diverse group for as long as we can remember? That even though we\u2019re based in the heart of Berlin, we\u2019re not about to reject anyone just because they don\u2019t declare their pronouns on their T-shirt? Or that all this is actually irrelevant because it\u2019s the attitude that counts?<\/p>\n<p>So I asked our team on Monday: Anything exciting happening in terms of diversity? The answer: <em>\u201cNope. Nothing special.\u201d <\/em>And that is precisely the point.<\/p>\n<p>For us as a language service provider, there is nothing more central than language itself. Inclusive communication has long been a matter of course for us. No big deal. Not a \u201cproject\u201d. Simply part of our everyday life as a language service provider. Five years ago, we discussed the topic in the team for the first time \u2013 openly, without pressure. Gender-neutral, inclusive language is now standard in external communication. We deliberately chose this path because it is important to us to take a stand: For equality, inclusion \u2013 and for language as a living, self-regulating system.*<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, our approach feels so natural that we are sometimes asked how we do it because it\u2019s hardly noticeable. Our answer? Our <a href=\"https:\/\/gemino.de\/en\/specialist-information\/\">Guide to inclusive communication<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pleased to say that we at Gemino not only take diversity seriously, but it\u2019s something we live every day. And not just on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n<p>* German is flexible \u2013 even with its strong focus on gender. With a little linguistic finesse, it\u2019s possible to address everybody with gender equality in mind. Language evolves through society. The <em>Duden<\/em> \u2013 Germany\u2019s foremost dictionary \u2013 doesn\u2019t impose changes, but reflects them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8767 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gemino.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cschwendy-06-2022.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Christian Schwendy is managing director of Gemino GmbH and can be contacted on +49 30 308788 20 or <a href=\"mailto:christian.schwendy@gemino.de\">christian.schwendy@gemino.de<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts on this from Christian Schwendy Last Friday, I remembered: Tuesday is Diversity Day.
