How does Camunda make you feel included?
A mix of people/company culture/policies: I feel I can express my true self at Camunda, I don't have to hide my feelings or pretend. People are welcoming and kind, and our FTO policy is great for work-life balance, benefitting my mental health.

What makes working for a global organization special?
It is the opportunity and actually a privilege to interact, collaborate and working towards achieving a common goal by teammates from different continents, different countries, different cultures, different races, different ways of lives. The fact that we all come together as employees of Camunda despite all these differences aforementioned, to delight our customers and make them love our solutions and adopt them broadly within their organization, is what makes our company great. The Diversity within sets us apart and is a great part of our success.

How do you experience diversity outside of Camunda?
Self-education. I live in a country and city where unfortunately diversity isn't prevalent, so I struggle with finding opportunities to immerse myself and learn about diversity in an 'everyday setting'. I also strongly believe that it is not others jobs to educate me on diversity, so I proactively seek to educate myself. I don't like formal forms of education or learning so travel & documentary programmes, seeking out 'content communities' to follow on social media as well as how I approach traveling to different countries myself, are the main ways I educate myself.

Why does diversity matter for you?
It forces me to challenge my beliefs and myself. It makes me see the world from different perspectives!

Can you share a moment when you felt a strong sense of belonging at Camunda? What made it special?
Picking just one would be tough, so here are a few (I'll try not to make this a novel). One that always makes me laugh was in Pennsylvania during last year's retreat. During the pool party, I climbed what felt like 10 stories of stairs with a hodge-podge group of Camundi from many different teams. We made the climb so we could ride the Venus Slydetrap. Let me tell you, nothing bonds a group of adult-working professionals more than hearing each other scream and laugh on a 600 ft waterslide where you are never truly sure if you are all going to make it to the bottom of the ride still in the tube or unscathed. The second was actually being asked to join as a panelist for Empathy in Practice. A candid conversation with Camundi sharing their views on empathy in and outside of work discussion for this retreat! Being empathetic has always been something I felt I came by naturally but also am always trying to better myself. So, to be included on this panel is such an honor and was truly touching to me. I strive to always be an open and safe space to anyone so I am very much looking forward to it and hope to see many of you there with us!

Can you share a moment when you felt a strong sense of belonging at Camunda? What made it special?
At a past retreat, a workshop was held and openly discussed whether Camunda should not do business with certain groups. Everyone was allowed to express their opinion, everyone was heard. There was also a follow-up on the topic later in Berlin. I was very impressed by how openly such topics are treated at Camunda. That was one of many moments in which I was very proud to be a Camundi.

Why does diversity matter for you?
To me, diversity (in business) is about team members working together who are different, in various regards (not exclusively in demographic characteristics like gender or ethnicity), and that despite being different, they get along and make great things happen together. It's a very simple thing, but I believe it is also one of the most difficult, and most important things, that humanity can achieve. That's why “embracing diversity”, to me, is of a quite fundamental importance.
