Female Excellence

We are committed to a future in which everyone is equally supported – regardless of gender, religion, origin or other characteristics. This is why we want to increase the proportion of women in the (currently) male-dominated consulting industry for financial services. Our Female Excellence initiative supports our female consultants on their individual career paths – and is always on the lookout for new talents! Join us in shaping the financial services industry of tomorrow – what are your plans for the future?

Added value

women@zeb

What is the added value of internal networks? They allow people to exchange experiences, provide mutual support, celebrate joint successes and much more. Within our women@zeb network, Sandra supports other female colleagues on their career paths. As a successful Manager with children she acts as a role model for others.

Support

Female-Buddy-Program

Network

women@zeb

women@zeb creates a special framework for internal networking with other female consultants and offers you a platform to intensively exchange expertise and experience.

Stay and grow

In addition to our important internal network, zeb supports your further career steps with selected development programs. The initiative IWiL offers you the opportunity to network beyond our company and get to know various female leaders. As part of the program, you can exchange ideas with successful women from other companies and build valuable contacts.

IWiL: Initiative Women into Leadership

The “Initiative Women into Leadership” (IWiL) offers our top female consultants the opportunity to network outside zeb. The initiative aims to promote talent development across companies, one to two levels below top management, and to provide strategic support to female executives beyond company boundaries. By engaging outstanding female mentors from academia, society and business, we create visibility for our talented female consultants who are supported as mentees at IWiL.

A long-term career at zeb is important to us. We are also working on topics such as equal opportunities and the further development of various diversity dimensions at zeb in order to be able to offer individual options. The women@zeb network had the exclusive opportunity to take part in discussions on these important topics at the last Partner Meeting of the year.
Sandra, Yola and Maira reported on the current status of target achievement and presented ongoing projects. It is gratifying to see that the efforts of the Female Recruiting team in particular have paid off and that we have been able to attract more female newcomers to zeb as an employer than ever before. Among other things, various offers specifically for female consultants such as the women@zeb network meetings, a female buddy program, Q&A sessions with female managers and a virtual community for mutual support have contributed to this success. Looking ahead to 2024, the goals for the coming year were discussed. We look forward to implementing further ideas from our Partners and to working together to promote diversity at zeb. #stayandgrow

"Reasoning is key—it’s not about where you come from, what position you are in or what background you have!"

women@zeb network meeting 

Our internal women@zeb network promotes the exchange of ideas and experiences with each other. We meet several times a year to listen to and discuss exciting internal and external key notes on various topics.
To promote exchange – especially in challenging times – we have developed new digital formats in 2020/2021. One of these is the Leadership@Lunch format. You can find more details below.

Balance, brilliance & energy – the keys to a fulfilling life and a successful career. At the women@zeb network meeting, 70 female colleagues got together to talk about the well-being of women in the consulting industry. In an inspiring atmosphere, they discussed topics such as nutrition, cycle awareness and mental strength. The keynote speech by Dr. rer. nat. Katharina Kessel, in which she introduced the world of cycle-appropriate nutrition, was a particular highlight. The importance of sleep in terms of performance and mental well-being was explored in exciting workshops. The event concluded with a relaxed dinner, rounded off by a walk through the festively lit Münster zoo – with some mulled wine and a Christmassy atmosphere, inspiring conversation flowed freely.
