Having to hide who you are can be extremely exhausting. That is why #TeamBSH fosters a culture that celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion. By doing this, we create a safe work environment, where every individual can be their true selves and thrive. During our Diversity Days, Víctor Lorenzo and FRANCK OLIVES, core members of our LGBTQ+ employee network "Colors of BSH", hosted the session "Being Me at Work." Their goal was to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community and cultivate allyship and openness among colleagues. 🌈 They shared actions that individuals can take to embrace their authentic selves at the workplace, such as coming out to trusted colleagues or mentioning their partner when discussing their leisure. Allies are crucial in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, standing in solidarity with them. Being an ally is an ongoing process of learning, challenging biases, and taking action. However, it is easy to start like the tips in our video show. Let’s all contribute to a more inclusive (work) environment! #Diversity #Pride #Inclusivity #DEI

At BSH, we are proud of our talented women in engineering – and are excited to welcome even more in the future! 👷♀️👩💻👩💼 Our engineers turn imaginations into reality, playing a significant role in BSH’s mission to improve the quality of life at home.

In light of the International Women in Engineering Day, we aim to inspire women of all ages to pursue careers in technical fields, defying societal expectations. Who better to serve as inspiration than our remarkable role models? 🌟 Meet Surekha Lingam, Caroline Folger, Soraya Santana De la Fe, Lena Seibert and Edit Strass – passionate women from diverse backgrounds who actively contribute to our WomenForTech initiative.

At BSH Home Appliances we strive to combine quality and performance with convincing designs. In the Designer's Pick our leading Heads of Design take us into their inspirations and projects. Ralf Grobleben, Head of Design at Neff Home Appliances, provides exciting insights:     “Homes become smaller, and kitchens become more integrated with people’s living spaces. Therefore, the design idea of Neff focuses on flexibility to offer an individual experience at home. With our Flex Design system we enable customers to shape their kitchen according to their wishes through flexible accents.    In most kitchens it is not easy to change the design or colour of your appliance, but we’ve made this possible with the NEFF Flex Design accents which are currently available in four elegant colours.    We aim to create designs for customers who enjoy cooking at home and are interested in product individuality and flexibility, while having fun in the kitchen. Therefore, we try to round up our design ideas with tactile experiences like the Twist Pad Flex® to make controlling your home appliances more fun.    The Twist Pad Flex® offers individuality at technology level and adapts to user preferences. It can also reduce the amount of information presented, which can sometimes be found overwhelming.”    If interested in flexible design options, you may find more insights on the idea of Flex Design and the design development at Neff here: https://lnkd.in/dPvF6MZq   #DesignersPick #Innovation #Design #homeappliances #BSH

Every person in the EU produces an average of 10.5 kg electronic waste per year. Well, figuratively speaking. In 2020, Europe alone discarded 4.7 million tons of electronic waste. By 2030, global e-waste is predicted to reach 74.7 million metric tons. We feel: That’s way too much. 🤖 An important way to help prevent e-waste is by choosing high-quality products with a long lifetime. That is why all BSH products are designed for durability and meet high quality standards. But there’s more to it. Swipe through the images to find out which vacuums and fridge can have an impact on your carbon footprint. Because you can be an e-waste superhero, too! 🦸 #Sustainability #ReduceEwaste #TeamBSH #SmallSteps

As part of BSH’s Diversity Days, our Global Graduates (GGs) hosted a session on their workplace experiences with cultural diversity. Being part of the international trainee program, this close-knit team has special insights into the cultural kaleidoscope 🤹 that is BSH. Not only do the 13 GGs represent 13 different nationalities, they are also working across several BSH locations – and socialize together too! Collaborating with #TeamBSH colleagues from around the world has significantly broadened their perspectives and increased their sensitivity to cultural differences. This has had a strong impact on their communication skills, making them more aware of direct and indirect communication styles, as well as non-verbal cues. They have also noticed differences in feedback culture, perceptions of time, or how people build trust. Experiencing this cultural diversity firsthand encouraged them to reflect on their own values and behaviors, fostering personal growth. Their top advice to everyone is: BE OPEN, treat others with respect and empathy. In the interactive session, the participants were encouraged to reflect on their own cultural behaviors, creating a lively exchange. Gathering around the table to try local flavors is one way the GGs celebrate their cultural heritages. 🥘🍜 What aspects of your culture do you like to share?

BSH presents: our product of the month 🎉 We've all been there – a spoon falls on the hob or cleaning gets a bit too vigorous, and suddenly there are scratches on the hob. To prevent this, the Bosch accent line induction hobs set new standards in terms of scratch resistance and durability with their revolutionary GlassProtect technology. Thanks to the special surface treatment, the glass-ceramic hob is protected against everyday wear and tear. The innovative coating makes the surface three times stronger than stainless steel and almost as hard as diamonds. 💎 This innovative technology reliably protects against everyday mishaps, ensuring that the hob looks new even after years of intensive use. For a kitchen that shines permanently – and hobs that remain as flawless as on the first day. 🌟 #BSH #ConsumerCentricity #accentline #GlassProtect 

Today at BSH marks the start of our annual Diversity Days, when we celebrate our wonderful people in all their uniqueness. Over the next five days, #TeamBSH will be exploring how diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace inspires us to get the best from one another and ourselves. Our people get the opportunity to take part in a broad range of interactive workshops, sessions and panel discussions covering subjects from women in tech to the power of mentorship. There really is something for everyone! The theme this year is BE OPEN, which captures the kind of community we’re building, one that supports a dynamic, innovative and successful business. In Pride Month 🏳️🌈 we can celebrate our openness and how far we’ve come – at BSH and in wider society – while our Diversity Days show our commitment to putting DEI at the heart of everything we do. Thanks to everyone who passionately contributes to this special week. #DiversityDays2024 #DD24 #DEI #Pride #TeamBSH #BeOpen
