Our mental health is no less important than our physical health. Some would even say: quite the opposite. That's why we dedicated an entire week to the topic, highlighting the facets of mental health in the workplace with daily remote sessions and accompanying information on the intranet. That's what they were about:

🌼 Unlocking Resilience - Learning to bounce back stronger in the face of challenges.
🧘 Yoga & Meditation - Finding balance and serenity.
🌸 Mental Wellbeing (dealing with stress, strain & crisis) - Strategies for managing life's challenges.
🚫 Awareness of Addiction Prevention - Understanding and addressing this crucial issue.
🤝 Supporting stressed employees – Impulse for managers - Empowering our managers to support their teams.

The Fürstenberg Institut GmbH has given us great support in this. But there's more. For quite some time, they act as our partner for employees who seek anonymously personal professional advice. 

Many thanks to all who helped organize our Mental Health Week and to all those who took the time to attend. We're here to support our employees - not only one week a year but whenever they need us ✨

Recently, we joined the Data Cleanup 2023 initiative, and while we know it won't save the world, it's amazing how the little things can add up to something great. 🌍

Some of our colleagues deleted up to 10,000 (!) emails, unsubscribed from unread newsletters, and finally organized their data.

And you know what: that felt really good 😌 One colleague, for example, shared his “satisfying feeling of clicking "Delete forever" on thousands of spam emails”. Another one said: “I learned a lot about carbon emissions and didn't realize how much we produced from emails alone”.

Have you already cleaned out your cluttered inbox? If not, why not start today? Imagine the significant impact we could make if we all join in this small but meaningful gesture! 💪 It's the everyday things that we can make a difference with.

Let's work together for a cleaner digital world! 💻🌐

🌞 Under sunny skies, the premiere couldn't have been better: The atmosphere was all about learning, connecting, and growing together. Plus, we had an attendee who traveled all the way from Azerbaijan!

𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭:
🔍 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: Zhamak Dehghani, the founder of Data Mesh, joined us remotely from Silicon Valley and explained the concept of Data Mesh. Listening to the creator herself explain this concept was a unique experience for everyone.

🌱 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: Ridwan Bhuiyan, Team Lead Sustainability Data & Analytics at Zalando, highlighted the need for simple and scalable technological solutions in sustainability. He emphasized the importance of clear sustainability data across the entire process.

🚀 𝐀𝐈 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬: Dr. Steven Lemm, Chief Risk & Data Officer at Ratepay, shared practical advice:
• Launching AI is easy; scaling and maintenance are challenging
• Complexity increases with customer data; avoid feature lock-in
• Proper ML-OPS infrastructure is essential
• Holistic data strategies have significant costs.

🌍 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐈 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: Our data experts, David Christian Blumenthal-Barby-Barby and Arash Azhand, discussed how AI affects society. AI usage in high-risk environments requires regulatory policies, such as the European AI Act. Moreover, institutions such as #TÜV are needed to independently audit the systems and to provide certifications. This eventually leads to building trust.

💼 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲: Carolin Lukas, Head of Product – Data Platform at Zalando, shared practical tips on managing large datasets in big companies. Her focus on keeping data organized through retention periods was an eye-opener.

🥰 🎉 Big thanks to Zackes Brustik for his fantastic moderation, adding a lively vibe to the event!

Our digital consultant Alexander Kirilov prefers coming to the office instead of working from home (hardly surprising, given the magnificent vista over the Elbe at our Hamburg location). And luckily enough, we offer both in our #HybridWorkplace.

In the interview on #RewriteTech, our #DigitalChampions reveals much more, e.g. where his love for digitalization comes from, what important skills he needs for his job, and why he doesn't have normal workdays.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a single day in your life. Sounds a little bit cheesy, but it’s true for Parthiban Rajasekaran, Senior Software Test Architect/Manager at diconium.

“When you start doing something, when it feels natural and you don’t get tired doing it for a long time, then you know that you made the right decision. I wake up every morning and I’m happy doing what I’m doing.”

Our managing director Anja Hendel spoke to the German magazine COMPUTERWOCHE about our #driveyourlife road trip project: "It was our goal to be a good employer across all phases of life. We don't just want to promise our applicants a flexible working environment, we want to deliver on that promise!”

Anja explains what we as a company are learning from the project and how we are positioning ourselves for the future. Diversity and flexibility serve as our guiding lines here. We adapt to different phases of life, have said goodbye to a culture of presence, and rely on diverse teams to build good products.

In this interview, you'll read about what we've learned about New Work over the past two and a half years and how our #HybridWorkplace has emerged as a result of all this: https://bit.ly/3zfWOI8

Last week, WELT Veranstaltungen invited inspirational personalities from business, science, and society to the #BetterFutureConference in Berlin. This year's motto: #FemaleLeadership.

Among the guests was our managing director Anja Hendel, who talked together with Fabiola Fernandez, Lucas Kohlmann and Welt journalist Daniel Zwick about work-life balance. This topic has been a priority for diconium for a long time. We believe your job needs to be truly flexible to fit into your life - no matter what your current stage of life is. We call it #HybridWorkplace. Anja shared our approach and got a lot of ideas from other business leaders as well.

Many thanks to Welt am Sonntag for this beautiful event with great impulses to create a better world - we really enjoyed being there! 

Letzte Woche war die Premiere unserer Commerce Masters in München. Unser Konzept: Fünf Big Player aus dem Digital Commerce pitchten ihre Lösungsansätze zu einem fiktiven B2B-Kunden-Case.

Dabei ging es um Fragen wie:

• Wie flexibel erweiterbar ist das vorgestellte Produkt?
• Kann es bei Produkten mit vielen Varianten zu Performance-Einbußen kommen?
• Wie kann man ein physisches Produkt mit einem digitalen Produkt (Servicevertrag) verbinden?
• Wie kann die Sichtbarkeit von Produkten für bestimmte Kundengruppen eingeschränkt werden?

Jedes Team hatte 15 Minuten Zeit, um seine Lösung vorzustellen. Uns haben die informativen Pitches von Adobe, commercetools Intershop Communications AG, SAP und Salesforce wirklich beeindruckt. Denn wer vor einer ähnlichen Entscheidung wie das fiktive B2B-Unternehmen steht, konnte viele Anhaltspunkte mitnehmen, welche Funktionen für B2B-Unternehmen künftig relevant sein werden und was heute schon technisch möglich ist.

Ein weiteres Highlight war die Keynote von Carolin Wais, Director Brand & Retail Germany bei Plug and Play Tech Center, wie Konzerne und Start-ups in einem offenen Innovationsmodell zusammenarbeiten können. 

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Ingrid Schutzmann für den großartigen Bericht in der INTERNET WORLD zu unserem Event: https://bit.ly/3Tq3db7 

Yesterday, we held our first ever Diwali festivities in our Stuttgart and Berlin offices. We danced, played together, and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Thanks to everyone who joined our festivities!

Diwali or Deepawali is one of the major festivals celebrated by more than billion people in India. The five-day festival celebrates “the victory of light over darkness”, “Good over evil”, and “Knowledge over ignorance”.

#RewriteTech | Accessibility is a human right. And everyone can benefit – also your business! 

In her blog article, our #DigitalChampion Sasirekha Palanisamy writes on how every business can increase its revenue and raise its brand value by considering accessibility in the short and long term. 

-> https://bit.ly/3rhJWwG 

And Sasirekha adds: “All these arguments aside, I would say it’s the right thing to do for any business! Let’s make the digital world accessible for everyone!”

We couldn’t summarize it better! Thanks for the great read!

What the #vlog? This video of Eric is really epic! We strongly recommend you to invest 7 of your precious minutes for this exercise: to delve into the fantastic vistas of Stockholm, listen to Eric's chat with our Managing Director Marcus Worbs about hybrid working and accompany both visiting the #Epicenter Stockholm where they talk with Epicenter CEO Patrick Mesterton about the future of working.

"When I have free time, I like to spend it doing yoga, playing guitar or studying Japanese." Our #DigitalChampion Anja Spaete, Senior Consultant IT & Salesforce Consultant, loves to learn — be it a new language or even a programming language, a culture, or topics like climate change and sustainability.

The many opportunities to expand her knowledge in these and other areas are therefore what she particularly appreciates about her work at diconium.

diconium invited three happy colleagues on a unique road trip, infused with unique encounters, technological marvels, fascinating accommodations, and a lot of fun — without missing a single day of work. Eight weeks on the road through Europe. Eight weeks of working and living. This is an excerpt from the drive your life blog. Welcome to Lisa’s Journey.

This week's #DigitalChampion is for sure not a couch potato! Get to know Vilius, Advanced Software Engineer and always-on-the-road type of guy. From skydiving in Belfast, powerlifting in Lisbon to motorcycling in Amsterdam – as often as Vilius has changed his location, he has also changed his hobbies.

Find out more about Vilius' journey to and at diconium and how magical it was for him to finally meet his team in person.

Are you in the mood for workation? Then listen to our project manager Felix Schloß who has a few tips for you. He recently spent 6 weeks traveling and working in Scandinavia himself. It all went pretty smoothly as diconium lives the #HybridWorkplace concept anyways.  

But Felix, you tell. How was it?
 
 "We really enjoyed working abroad. We had the chance to permanently experience new things, to be on the road and to explore nature, villages and cities after work. Due to the midnight sun, we were also able to stay out late in the evenings.
 
 Of course, there were also days at work that went a little longer and when you were glad to just go to bed earl. That's part of it. After all, you just keep working as normal."
 
 And what tips do you have for our followers, Felix?
 
 “The basic requirement for working remotely abroad is the internet. Therefore, we always wrote to various hosts on Airbnb beforehand and asked about the average speed of the internet.
 
 Nevertheless, we wanted to be on the safe side. Therefore, I had gotten myself another SIM card with unlimited data volume as a backup, which I then also needed once or twice as a hotspot.

Most of my colleagues also didn't notice that we were in Scandinavia - successfully proving that remote working abroad works!”

Today is #EarthDay. You could argue everyday should be Earth Day – and you wouldn’t be wrong. We still want to use this date to reflect upon our responsibility and what the investment in our planet means for all of us.

You see, companies have an undeniable impact on society and the environment. Thus, to make an impact, sustainability has to become a strategy; we should use time, strategies, processes and capital to become sustainable in all three dimensions:

Environmental Economic *Social.

Particularly as a digital business, we must make sure that digitalization processes create a positive impact without creating (new) negative effects. For us, this means to translate our core values #courage, #collaboration, #mindfulness and #impact into a strong and reliable foundation. For months, more than 160 colleagues have been working in our „Digital Sustainability Hub“, a grassroot movement within diconium. Together, they have created a center of competence to ensure sustainable impact and the basis for our actions.

Last but not least, we welcome Karine Rübner on board who has joined the diconium group as Head of Sustainability. Karine will support us in increasing our efficiency with respect to our sustainability goals. We are so happy to have you, Karine

On March 20, the home office obligation ended in Germany. So everyone back to the office? Not with us! Because we trust our employees - and we are convinced that everyone can decide for themselves where and when they prefer to work most productively - from home, on the road or in the office diconium provides the right environment: amongst others, we support our colleagues with home office equipment and offer flexible workstations as well as social meeting points at our 14 worldwide locations.

We call it #HybridWorkplace: our way of matching individual needs with collaboration, teamwork, and business requirements. Just as you'd expect from a next-level organization.

Just in time for International Women's Day this Tuesday, our colleagues have launched womxn@diconium, a new and independent initiative by employees for employees. The goal is exchange, networking and creating new impulses on topics such as diversity, new leadership and female empowerment – not only for women, but for every diconium employee. What a great idea by really great people!

womxn@diconium was inviting Natascha Zeljko, Chief Editor of F10 Fe:maleOneZero, as moderator for the first panel. Together with our diconium colleagues Lunia, Christiane and Anja exciting points were discussed, and we were able to take away many valuable impulses – many thanks for the open exchange.

More than 70 participants from different diconium locations joined the online event. Thanks to everyone who tuned in. We are looking forward to the next sessions!

Sagar, Director Software Development at diconium, has been on a workationing journey for the last 12 months – from sub-tropical islands during the winter months, and across Germany during spring and summer. A showcase example of our Hybrid Workplace model: A mobile office, own digital workplace, no commute time, better work-life balance.
