Genders at Rheinmetall

Men. Women. All!

In order to ensure a balanced gender ratio in the Rheinmetall workforce, we continue to strive for gender equity in the workplace from top leadership to entry level employees by implementing activities and policies that promote diversity and inclusion.

21% of our workforce at Rheinmetall are highly qualified and talented women who are already passionate about our technologies. And we would like to welcome even more! As an employer, we create flexible working time models and provide increased support for women in particular in the medium and long term through internal programmes to promote young talent and further training.

"I have been a member of the international women@Rheinmetall network since 2020 because I value the initiatives and groups that want to make a difference and change things, and I support this with conviction. The main advantage, I draw from the network is the open exchange about challenges in the business environment and the mutual learning from each other."

Interview With Carina Jäckel – Positive Dynamics in a Maledominated Industry

„It's not about who has which gender, but about what each and every individual brings to the table in terms of expertise, creativity and personality. Different perspectives make us all stronger and ensure that we improve together"

As an online marketing manager at Rheinmetall, Carina Jäckel works in an environment that is often perceived as technical and therefore rather male-dominated. Topics such as website management, google analytics, community management and technical understanding of websites are part of her daily work – areas that have traditionally been more male-dominated. However, she never saw this as a challenge, but rather as an exciting opportunity for personal development.
