Diversity & Inclusion at Unic
Diversity and inclusion at Unic are a mindset – not a campaign. We are committed to ensuring that all employees can be themselves at work. In doing so, we continuously seek solutions to provide a work environment that accommodates the diversity of people. Colleagues are invited to express their personality and skills within the company.
We firmly believe that diversity makes us better. A vibrant culture, diverse people, and different perspectives foster innovation and help us understand the world more fully.
What Diversity & Inclusion Means to Us
For us, it means three things:
Diversity: who we are and what we bring to the table.
Inclusion: how we work together.
Equity: meeting everyone where they are, rather than treating everyone the same.
That sounds simple. Sometimes it isn't. That's why we continuously work on it – with concrete measures, not declarations of intent.
Individual Working Conditions at Unic
Individual Work Environments – Including for Neurodivergent People
Neurodivergent people often bring exceptional abilities: deep focus, unconventional thinking, a strong grasp of systems. Provided the environment allows for it. That's why we create work environments that enable retreat, reduce sensory overload, and offer flexible structures. This includes working from home as well as flexibility in working hours and break times.
Work That Fits Your Life
Working hours can be arranged to fit your life – your family, caring for relatives, your personal rhythms. Hybrid working at Unic isn't a blanket solution – it's an individual arrangement tailored to your personal situation.
For colleagues with roots in other countries, we also offer Remote Work Abroad: the opportunity to work from home – wherever that may be – while spending time with family. Because belonging doesn't end when you sign an employment contract.
New colleagues are supported individually from the very start – with an onboarding process that adapts to people, not the other way around. And we keep learning together: regular exchange formats such as our 1001 Tabs sessions – short units for sharing knowledge and perspectives – create space to make blind spots visible.
Accessibility & Inclusive Design as Standard
Digital Products That Truly Work for Everyone
Accessible products are not a niche – they are simply good craftsmanship. At Unic, accessibility is not an add-on at the end of a project, but part of our understanding of quality from the very beginning. We plan for accessibility early and consistently integrate it across all project phases.
This includes contrast, screen reader accessibility, keyboard navigation, and plain language – but also Inclusive Design: we build products so that diverse needs are considered from the outset, not retrofitted later.
We don't build this because a standard requires it. We build it because it should be a matter of course.
Digital Ethics – Responsibility for What We Build
AI, Data Protection & Fairness as a Benchmark
Technology reflects the values of those who develop it – whether intentionally or not. Algorithms can discriminate. AI decisions can be opaque. Data can be misused. That's why we ask ourselves with every project: Who are we building this for – and whose perspective is missing?
Fairness, transparency, and data protection are not checkboxes at Unic. We rely on explainable AI systems, privacy by design, and digital solutions that do not produce discriminatory effects. Not because regulations demand it – but because we take responsibility for what we build.
Diversity and Inclusion as Part of Our Purpose
Diversity and inclusion at Unic is not an isolated HR topic. It is part of our purpose. We create digital experiences that genuinely benefit people. This is only possible if we also live the diversity of the people we build for internally.
Not Perfect. But Consistent.
We don't make big promises. We take small, honest steps – and communicate openly about where we stand and where we still want to improve.
Language: Mindful, inclusive language as standard – internally and externally.
Exchange: Regular internal formats to make topics visible and share knowledge.
Work environment: Flexible structures, spaces for retreat, and individually tailored onboarding.
Products: Accessibility and ethical design as an integral part of our work.
We have so many allies – namely all the employees within Unic who are already championing greater diversity and inclusion across various projects. Thank you for being an ally.
