At Duervation, all individuals are welcome, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, origin, ethnicity or religion, health condition or disability.
In projects, care is taken to ensure that there is diversity in the project team, and in new hires, depending on the industry, preference is given to people with the same qualifications, atypical for the industry.

In addition, at Duervation working conditions are as family friendly as possible. Parents can work from home or in the office, depending on the assignment and activity, can change the location of the activity at short notice if necessary, and can bring their family members to the office for hours at a time by arrangement. Working hours are flexible and can be arranged individually. We warmly welcome persons with care responsibilities as employees. Individualized models for shared leadership or management of projects are welcomed and supported.
Duervation is committed to promoting young people at the beginning of their careers and actively supports them with selected training courses, involvement in networking activities and appreciative off-boarding. Duervation sees itself as a promoter of young people and would like to accompany them on their way. Duervation is looking forward to future cooperation with former employees and, if applicable, to their return at a later point in their career.
