Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Advisory

At RefineValue, we passionately believe that diverse leaders can contribute to making the world a better place. It is our fundamental belief that organizations perform better when diverse voices, regardless of race, gender, identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, ethnicity, origin, or perspective are heard and feel a sense of belonging as individuals. We are convinced that different perspectives are a catalyst for creativity and better results. As a consulting firm for the recruitment of leadership-solutions, we are aware of our responsibility to ensure that every person as equal opportunities and can develop their full potential. We live our commitment to diversity, inclusion, respect, and integrity internally as well as in each of our mandates. In addition, our consultants support organizations in building strong internal and external candidate pipelines on the topic of Gender GAP and LGBTQ+ so that the cultural shift towards an inclusive and inclusive organization succeeds.

Gender Gap

Statistic evidence clearly shows that a more balanced representation of women in top management positions leads to better management performance and better financial results. An increased proportion of female leaders significantly contributes to a more focused and competitive management team. To benefit from these effects, women in key positions and in top management must lose their exotic status. For companies, their management, and women, this means a win-win situation. An increasing proportion of women is a catalyst for raising the entire management team to a new level of quality. Statistically, the percentage of women on the management and supervisory boards at large corporations has increased by only 2.1 percent since 2018. At RefineValue, we are convinced that this development can be accelerated.

LGBTQ+

Systematic discrimination against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals around the world persists to this day, and in leadership positions, LGBTQ+ leaders are still severely underrepresented. We recognize that we need to do more in the executive search to drive the change we want to see in the world. This is what drives RefineValue to celebrate, support, and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. We focus our efforts on ensuring that our processes, approaches, and systems promote inclusivity in this space. In doing so, we face the challenge that LGBTQ+ identities are often not visible, and our candidates may not want to be labeled or identified in a particular way. We therefore seek to create an environment for open dialog where LGBTQ+ individuals can be authentic to themselves inside and outside of our organization. We invest in LGBTQ+ awareness and extensive diversity training for ourselves, while actively promoting efforts by our clients in this regard. In doing so, we work tirelessly to combat all forms of direct or indirect discrimination.

Creating an environment where people can be authentic to themselves is one of the most important challenges when it comes to preventing discrimination in organizations. At RefineValue, we believe that individuals who work in an environment that allows everyone to be more authentic to themselves are more creative, can perform better and reach their full potential. However, people in the LGBTQ+ community, still experience harassment and aggression towards their sexuality. A consistent change of direction is required so that organizations become a place that enables all people, free of their sexual orientation, to be their authentic selves.
