Give to Gain – Behind strong careers lies mutual support

On International Women's Day on March 8, 2026, our female colleagues showed what "Give to Gain" means to them: sharing knowledge, creating visibility, giving confidence and opening up new opportunities. Because development happens when we strengthen each other and move forward together.✨

 

"What began with an open conversation on the first day is now a trusting, regular exchange that repeatedly results in real 'aha' moments and tangible changes. We share experiences, give each other inspiration and encourage each other on our way. This is particularly valuable in an environment in which women are still not represented as a matter of course."

Sophia | Senior Manager Field Application

"Knowledge transfer works in both directions for us, because university theory and work practice complement each other very well. In mentoring, this creates a special collaboration at eye level in which each of us can contribute ideas.

Learning from each other is an important part of our team culture and strengthens our cohesion."

"We helped an organization grow from 0 to 80 people. While I support changes directly in the teams, Christina creates the structures that make growth possible.

Our strength is our trust: We talk openly about uncertainties, mistakes and ideas - and arrive at better solutions faster precisely because of this. For us, "Give to Gain" means honestly challenging each other and becoming stronger together."

Christina | Process Manager

"Sometimes our best ideas come to us in those moments when everyday life quietens down for a moment. When everything has found its place at home and we get together again for a short time, this is often exactly the space where new thoughts come to life.

The most creative ideas often bubble up in these evening mini sprints of shared lightness. What sustains us: honest cooperation, humor - and the certainty that we will reach our goal together."

Ingrid | Director Employee Relations

"Mentoring is organized. Sparring arises. We can discuss things openly in an exchange, especially those that you as a manager would otherwise tend to deal with yourself. This gives us both more clarity, new perspectives and a tailwind for decisions.

Simultaneously, we gain an honest view of what leadership feels like today in different roles and at different levels of experience."
