Diversity, equity & inclusion

We cherish the collaborative nature of our work. Our team spans countries, continents, and oceans, with members coming from diverse cultural backgrounds. We believe that this diversity is what helps us progress as we bring unique perspectives and skill sets to the table. It allows us to achieve the best results for ourselves and our clients.

We keep diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of our culture. We have a Group D&I policy covering most aspects from gender, age and disability to religion, race, and sexual orientation. This policy is a centrepiece to our values, and it exists as a learning and alignment item for our team members but also for our candidates and clients. It also informs our Code of conduct. We believe that everyone on our team must commit to and support this policy, and it's a binding part of every hiring process and employment contract. 

We are convinced that diverse teams outperform homogeneous teams. That's why we actively seek out a highly diverse, cognitively in particular, workforce. This approach, combined with an inclusive culture, allows us to tap into our full potential and achieve long-term success while creating a lasting positive impact. Learn more here.

Sustainability

To us, assuming responsibility means taking action where our skills and experience create the most significant positive impact.

Whether that's becoming carbon neutral in 2021, helping our clients develop sustainable solutions or modernising end-to-end energy infrastructure and services to meet 21st-century demands, we are committed to making a positive impact on our planet.

In line with that principle and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have made the interconnected areas of climate action and health improvement our sustainability focus. Both can benefit from innovation and technology, and positive actions are mutually reinforcing.

They, therefore, build the centre of our sustainability compass and are surrounded by three pathways for action: positive project impact, sustainable way of working, and community engagement. Learn more about our journey

Growth mindset

Our approach to people care is unusual in the consultant space with us striving to provide real-time support to the team as and when it’s needed, as well as regular one-to-ones focused on the well-being and supporting our people in working toward their goals. Since the teams are disparate, working away from the Zühlke hub during tin day-to-day, this is a vital touch point valued by colleagues at all levels in the business. 

One of the underlying principals is a commitment to learning and training. We invest in our people's growth and development a lot (approximately 10% of the company's revenue per year) since we're convinced that by shaping the relevant growth opportunities around your passions and our business goals we grow with our people and reinforce our joint success. 

With the Zühlke Growth Mindset, we are going beyond the idea that learning is an activity separate from project work. By making the most of learning opportunities in our daily lives and by boosting collaboration across the whole group, we are getting more effective and efficient – which translates into a career advantage for all of us and a competitive advantage for the company. 

Wellbeing

We care about our people's wellbeing and offer a range of tools and resources to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including private insurance & health benefits, mental health first aid provisions, and flexible working arrangements.

We regularly engage our people in team health check-ins. Team chartering is an important part of any project liftoff and, alongside this, team health is given ongoing attention at Zühlke. With the anonymous self-assessment, we get a regular insight into how the team feels and more importantly we can tailor mindful interventions to keep our people upbeat and motivated towards achieving the goals together. 

We also strongly believe that giving back to society is important, so in the UK we will support you and pay for up to 8 hours a day for each day you have taken to volunteer for a cause you believe in. We are also matching your salary sacrifice donations for up to 50£ to further extend the impact of good.
