Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

" Diversity is fueling innovation by enlightening blindspots. At Tacto we deeply believe that we make better decisions and build better products when considering a multitude of perspectives.

Our founder team is stereotypical for the German tech scene: Three white males from TUM. To me that is a shortcoming that we proactively address by committing to providing equal opportunities for everyone and supporting talent in all kinds of shapes & forms. "

🌟 Why it matters

With a broad range of backgrounds, skills, and experiences, our business stands to benefit from a wider spectrum of creativity and perspectives. We are sure - having a diverse workplace in which different voices are heard and accepted encourages our tacto employees to actively engage in their work environment.

More than that studies have shown that diverse companies are more likely to make better decisions, have higher employee satisfaction and foster more creative teams than their less diverse counterparts.

Here are some of the key statistical takeaways, as per a study conducted by Glassdoor:

• Ethnically diverse and inclusive companies are 33% more successful
• 1.7 times more likely to become innovation leaders in their field
• Have better odds of attracting top talent, as 67% of job seekers care about diversity and inclusion

💜 Our approach

Measure what matters.

Technology and Data is deeply rooted in the tacto DNA. Therefore we use our strength and leverage data to measure, prioritise, and hold ourselves accountable for our efforts and impact.

Inclusion is a team effort.

We provide learning opportunities to enable and activate our team’s awareness, allyship principles, and advocacy.

Embrace everyone for who they are.

To create and lead a diverse workplace where every voice is heard, the tacto culture is based on psychological safety as well as the power of vulnerability.

Go the extra mile where it's necessary.

To ensure everyone can unfold her/his potential when working at tacto we e.g. banned job requirements from job postings or establish personal need-adjusted development programs.
