Diversity at Rheinmetall
More than 33,000 people at Rheinmetall have one thing in common: a great enthusiasm for technology. Alongside this commonality, however, there are also differences in a global technology group. As an employer, it is important to us to create a supportive and motivating working environment for our employees.
As part of our diversity strategy, we therefore focus primarily on the topics of gender, generations and cultures, as these offer many points of contact in the everyday lives of our international employees.

"What inspires me at Rheinmetall in my day-to-day work is the open and respectful dialogue. We promote open and intercultural exchange. Because everyone can learn something from each other.
Head of Talent Acquisition, Employer Branding & Diversity
Together, we can achieve more. Thus, it is important for us as an employer to support and educate our employees in handling diversity topics in their everyday work. Therefore, we offer various seminars and e-learnings on the topic of diversity, including intergenerational cooperation in the workplace and intercultural competence.
There are also internal training opportunities for those who represent the interests of severely disabled people and people of equal status at Rheinmetall. We are becoming increasingly successful in raising awareness of the issue of inclusion among managers and employees. Those involved need to define requirements and find solutions. After all, inclusion affects everyone and can only work together.
„My hearing loss is not a weakness, but a strength. It has taught me to be open and self-confident and shows that being different is not a negative thing - it is a source of pride and strength.“
Internal Auditor
Diversity has a different meaning for everyone, but continuous exchange creates understanding and connection. That's why various networks within the Rheinmetall Group are available to anyone who wants to talk. Further networks are welcome.
At women@Rheinmetall, more than 700 Rheinmetall employees in 33 countries are committed to our female colleagues and all interested parties. In Italy, a D&I (Diversity and Inclusion) team stands up for an open and inclusive environment at Rheinmetall.
