Diversity management is a concept of corporate stewardship that emphasizes respect for the heterogeneity of a company's workforce. Coupled with this is the desire to utilize the qualities of every individual to the benefit of all stakeholders.
Henkel adopts a holistic approach to diversity, regarding it as an important component of its corporate culture. Henkel is not concerned with meeting certain notional quotas, as positions are filled on the basis of merit alone.
Rather, diversity means for the company the creation of heterogeneous teams in which the economic, creative and innovative potential of each individual employee can be developed to the full – mixed groups able to achieve even better performance results.
In 2006, Henkel developed its so-called “Diversity Cockpit”, enabling the most important worldwide statistics on the subject of diversity within the company to be quickly collected and clearly collated and categorized.
One example of the kind of information gathered: the proportion of female managers employed at Henkel exceeds 25 percent – and is thus also above the European market average.
In addition to gender, the Cockpit also reveals dimensions such as age and internationality in the worldwide managerial structure at Henkel.
At the beginning of the year, Henkel signed the initiative "Diversity as an Opportunity – the Diversity Charter of German Companies,” on the basis of which representatives of Germany's business world have been supporting the diversity concept.
