European Diversity works differently. And that works for you

Our name says it all – and our latest approach makes it tangible: ENGINEERING D&I. After two decades of pioneering and reinvention work, we refine D&I through a unique combination of evidence, international reach and innovation. The result: client-specific, content-rich solutions that generate real-world impact.

Scientific analysis, activist thinking, strategic implementation

As European thought leaders, we combine proprietary research with global studies—from unconscious bias to D&I strategy. Our experience from projects in over 20 countries leads to high-impact, context-aware solutions—delivering measurable progress and strong stakeholder acceptance also locally.

Think internationally, plan in detail, act holistically

From early awareness-building to HR integration and cultural paradigm shifts: our own development reflects the maturing of D&I itself. Experience in countless contexts – thematic, geographical, progress-related – shape our distinctive profile—a offer valuable counterbalance to simplification, tokenism and populism.

ENGINEERING D&I.

BY THE WAY: THERE IS A SMALL AND SPECIAL STORY TO OUR NEW LOGO
It was a surprising opportunity for European Diversity: Just a few days after they presented a D&I vision for Europe in Budapest, the team publicly displayed the new logo for the first time in order to send a European message to Turkish president Erdogan.

Evonik Corporation | Bonnie Tully, President North America Region, 10/2022

We found the Inclusive Leadership Journey a valuable experience (as) it made us recognize we all have biases, and allowed us to reflect on this truth. Then, the Leadership Journey process gave us a format to create an actionable plan (as) we accept there is no quick fix when it comes to organizational culture change. (We came) to consensus on a path forward to create a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace (and) an 'action journey' where real progress is being made.

BayWa r.e. | Céline Tran, MD France & Global DEI Sponsor, 12/2021

Michael has been a key enabler to organise our DEI journey. His experience and expertise combined with a very clear way of expressing his thoughts and recommendations have been highly valuable to define our DEI strategy and action plans as well as to prepare for senior management meetings. His investment in getting to know our organization and our HR processes allowed him to leverage the existing processes as ground foundations for further actions and define additional tailormade DEI initiatives. His interactions with senior management, through interviews, individual coaching or management trainings, were very relevant and impactful. It has been a pleasure working alongside with Michael over several months on diversity, equity and inclusion topics.

After a few years of internal work and insight, Michael Stuber's external professional perspective, profound expertise and long-standing experience have significantly helped us to analyse our Diversity & Inclusion situation holistically and with all dependencies and to redesign our approach focused on vision, strategy, processes and culture in a change-oriented way. With targeted interventions at various levels, we achieved a new quality of positive reactions in just over six months. In addition, the partnership was a great enrichment for my development and always a real pleasure.

Johnson & Johnson | Mieke Smet, Director Global Talent Management, 2008

Working with European Diversity, Research&Consulting was a great experience for me. It was the first time that I felt that an external organization understands very clearly the challenges of the business, finds the right approach to introduce the topic of diversity and inclusion and makes it clear and tangible. They speak the right business language and they are flexible enough to adapt to global frameworks and make sure that all regional initiatives are aligned to that. It is also clear that this organization has the right background to support companies in their journey towards diversity and inclusion, they can relate to other companies and best practices.
