„Diversity: the art of thinking independently together“
Malcolm Forbes
LGBTQIA+ is the formula for more success, because it shows how individual letters together form a concept and make their contribution to the big picture. People with the most diverse lifestyles and sexual orientations contribute their ideas and creativity within this framework. This contributes to innovation and is partly responsible for the success of a project or a company. We also utilise this superpower at the EAT HAPPY GROUP by creating a place for our employees to develop and grow.
„We are an open company where every individual is welcome for who they are. Diversity is part of our DNA and we are proud that everyone contributes to the success of the business, regardless of their background.“
Jan Fischer, CEO
These are the words we live and work by every day at the EAT HAPPY GROUP. Because through diversity, we promote equal opportunities and value the diversity of individuals.
Together with our Diversity Round Table, founded in 2022, we shape how we make these values visible and tangible for all our employees and beyond on a daily basis. The team is made up of employees from a wide range of areas. It meets regularly to initiate diversity-related projects within and outside the company.
Diversity has been an important building block for the concept and the company’s success since it was founded in 2013. People of more than 75 nationalities work for EAT HAPPY. This diversity is also reflected in the corporate culture. All employees provide valuable impetus for more tolerance and contribute their ideas in all areas. Interaction at eye level plays a decisive role in cross-divisional collaboration.
Equal opportunities are the key to greater fairness. Regardless of culture, lifestyle or age, we attach great importance to equal opportunities for all and support our employees in their professional and personal development. We offer them an environment in which they can contribute and develop.
Open communication and tolerance are the driving force behind a successful company. We value different opinions, learn from each other and bring our concepts forward with different points of view. In addition, there are regular team and company events where employees can exchange ideas and network across departmental boundaries.
„Our team is diverse, open and tolerant. Diversity is not an HR-driven issue, but is lived by all employees. We are proud of the commitment of our Diversity Round Table and the contribution we make as a company in this context.“
Katrin Hahn, Director of HR
In order to promote diversity, tolerance and variety outside the company, the EAT HAPPY GROUP supports local initiatives such Aidshilfe Köln e.V., Anyway e.V., and SOFRA – Queer Migrants e.V. At the same time, we are working on the visibility of the company in the context of diversity: since 2023, we have been taking part in the ColognePride Parade and the Run of Colours with our own truck and a group of people on foot.
