How does thyssenkrupp define diversity and empowerment within the context of engineering?
At thyssenkrupp, diversity means recognising and valuing the different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that people bring to the table. We do not limit our recognition of diversity to gender, region, and race alone, rather, we extend it to include various outlooks and approaches. These diverse viewpoints open a world of possibilities. We firmly believe that a diverse team fosters innovation and enhances problem-solving, aligning with our approach to conducting business.
Historically, engineering was a gender-skewed domain. However, the landscape is evolving, albeit at different speeds in various segments, including the heavy engineering space in which we operate. While challenges persist, as an employer, we acknowledge our significant role in promoting change. We emphasise empowerment by providing our engineers with the autonomy, resources, and support they need to excel in their roles. To foster an inclusive and innovative work environment, it is important to address and include diverse voices through our policies and structures. True empowerment occurs when engineers adopt an ‘I Can’ attitude without any limitations. This mindset brings out genuine engineering marvel that we strive to provide to our customers and our nation.
What are some of the key benefits that a diverse workforce brings to the field of engineering and to a company like thyssenkrupp?
