Our commitment

3.1 Our commitment

By forming a diverse team, we want to empower people by collectively respecting and appreciating what makes them different in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, education, cultural background, and national origin. To facilitate diversity, we are focusing on making it attractive for people from all different backgrounds to join our company and become a Trengo Hero. Our journey for diversity starts in the recruitment process. Our commitment goes to ensuring that all Trengo Heroes develop, retain, and help maintain a sense of belonging, respect, and value towards people from all different backgrounds. We are dedicated to treating everyone with equity, ensuring fair and equal opportunities for all, while promoting inclusion in everything we do. We work together to create a truly inclusive environment.

💡 But, we are not done yet. Trengo will keep working on improving Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion until it is part of our identity and an everyday priority.

Our awareness weeks

Diversity is reality. Equity & Inclusion are a choice

For this reason, we plan awareness weeks full of events and workshops to empower our diverse Trengo Heroes in their working life, as well as their colleagues and managers who play an important role when it comes to supporting them. The workshops are hosted by specialists and coaches!

Let’s learn more about each other and how we can use our superpowers.

Although we cannot document all weeks for privacy reasons, we do have a few examples from past awareness weeks below.
