DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND

FLEXIBLE WORKING AT APRICUM
Since 2008, we’ve grown our team, expanded our sector expertise and opened new offices but one important goal is still to be achieved – equal representation of women at Apricum.

It is clear that
diversity
strengthens an organization through its collective shared experience and perspectives. With native speakers of more than 12 languages, our international team observes different cultural and religious traditions and features a range of ages. Gender parity, however, is a key goal we are committed to and actively working on.

Offering greater flexibility of working to all staff, parents and non-parents alike, is one way we aim to ensure all team members feel included.
Specifically for parents, we support you in finding the right work-life balance that suits your situation, not just parental leave but returning to work on a sustainable basis that meets your and your family’s needs.

Flexible working

means not just a combination of remote working and in-office presence, but enabling you to work part time – regardless of whether you have children. You are also free to organize your workday to suit family commitments (e.g., dropping off or picking up the kids from day care or school, observing family dinner times etc.) or to pursue hobbies or social activities.

We would also like to underline the importance of
inclusion
to Apricum’s company culture. Inclusion for us means being transparent and open, ensuring equal opportunities, taking seriously and acting upon what arises in quarterly mentee chats and honoring upward feedback. This, we will always continue to do.

If this sounds like the kind of workplace for you, then check our vacancies section below.

Writing your master thesis during your internship
