As part of our Global Diversity strategy, Symantec has created diversity councils led by a local Diversity champion at our sites throughout Europe. mi.st European Diversity Consulting has assisted us in preparing and carrying out successful work meetings with our local partners while effectively acknowledging European and national specifics. mi.st European Diversity Consulting has shown professionalism, expertise and responsiveness to our diversity needs and has contributed to the success of our diversity initiative in Europe.

As part of the implementation of a quota for women at Deutsche Telekom, European Diversity research & Consulting led through gender diversity workshops for professionals and executives in the area of ​​recruiting and talent service. The Gender & Diversity models and the interactive discussion on the topic were very effective and appropriate for the target groups and helped to establish a positive understanding as well as to create new approaches to further implementation.

With Michael Stuber as the leading figure in this consulting company you can count on 15+ years of competence and insights in the D&I endeavours of the industry, helping you to set direction in your own organization.

Due to the professional support of Michael Stuber our 'Gender-Diversity-Day' was a great success.

Michael Stuber advises us on the implementation of various measures to promote diversity and inclusion. Based on his proven technical expertise and his broad experience he knows how to develop individual, business-related and implementation-oriented concepts and solutions. His extremely pragmatic, customer-oriented consulting supports us a lot in the anchoring of D&I in the company.

Understanding the specific needs of a company and align D&I with the corporate strategy and culture are strengths of Michael Stuber. We are grateful about the pragmatic as well as inspiring collaboration and value the competent, flexible and constructive consulting services of European Diversity.

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. He supported us in tackling the challenges and opportunities that a diverse workforce offers, in our daily HR, leadership and collaborative practices. Addressing this “was and is” still key in our global but at the same time extreme multicultural local environment. We first worked under his guidance on a bottom-up approach in which we engaged our supply chain operator population in a direct dialogue on topics as generation, culture, gender etc. 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 that block our perception and thinking, we trained our total supervisory population to make them aware of own bias and to give them some tools to achieve a more objective or at least different kind of point of view when acting as “servant, inspiring leaders”. Seen the size of the group that needed to be trained, he has also been very helpful in training our HR team as facilitators. 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.
