Our Manifesto
We are open. We treat everyone with the same respect. Regardless of their sex, age, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, politics, physical abilities, or any other distinguishing factor. The actions and accomplishments of each individual are what matter to us. We are open because it pays to be open; as a person, and as a business. Because open organisations are more successful and the people who work there are happier. 
Our mission is to demonstrate the value of openness to companies, employers, and employees alike. Join us!

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Clients
I had the pleasure of working with the WeAreOpen team - Nóra, Andrea, and Zsuzsa - in 2025, when I was Deputy CEO responsible for the organization at RTL. They conducted a DEI Audit for us and delivered an Unconscious Bias workshop for our colleagues. They make even the most challenging topics easy to work through. DEI and inclusion are areas where many organizations either stay on the surface or get lost in the sensitivity of the subject. WeAreOpen has found that delicate balance: they combined scientific rigor with a remarkable level of empathy throughout our collaboration. Their work clearly reflects not only deep expertise but also a genuine understanding of the human side of these topics. Both the audit and the workshop demonstrated outstanding professional depth, while their authentic presence created an environment where participants felt comfortable opening up and actively engaging in meaningful discussions. I wholeheartedly recommend WeAreOpen to any organization that sees DEI not as a campaign or a checkbox exercise, but as a core organizational value.

We worked with We Are Open in a strategic collaboration to review our practices around diversity and inclusion. Our cooperation and their professional knowledge, experience contributed significantly to developing our local and regional plans and to translate our values and commitment to actions, as well as to engage our colleagues in various activities.
Miklós Magyar
Regional HR Director, CEE – VELUX
Our collaboration with WeAreOpen has been a true source of inspiration and continuous learning for us. They provided invaluable professional support in developing our unconscious bias materials and delivered a thought-provoking and energizing inclusion session at one of our leadership events. Working with them goes beyond a traditional consulting engagement: the process of thinking together and co-creating already brings significant value. Their openness, flexibility, and genuine curiosity create a safe and inspiring space where real dialogue and growth can happen. Every project we collaborate on generates meaningful impact and supports us on our journey to creating a more inclusive corporate culture.
Alexandra Pető

Our communities were facing important challenges, and we were looking for support from new perspectives - which made our collaboration with WeAreOpen especially valuable. It helped us better understand the needs and translate them into a strategy that works for both leadership and our communities, through a structured yet flexible approach and consistently high professional standards.
Viktória Chudák
Engagement Coordinator, GE HealthCare
Sigma has worked with WeAreOpen on several audits, ranging from workplace openness to pay disparities. Their staff and consultants bring strong professional expertise and a pragmatic understanding of the corporate environment, which makes the collaboration especially valuable. I’m happy to recommend them.

Neurodiversity: we are diverse on the outside, why would not be diverse on the inside? The last great identity movement of the 20th century is in full spring
When we hear the word “diversity,” our minds often go first to identity politics or visible differences. When we hear “neuro,” we might picture complex diagrams of brain synapses—unless we’re academic researchers, in which case we probably think of journal articles and clinical terminology. But there is a space where these two words come together meaningfully, and it is in the term neurodiversity. We celebrate diversity in other areas of life—we praise cultural differences, we admire unique artistic styles, we embrace unconventional thinkers in tech and business. Why then, when it comes to neurological diversity, do we so often revert to labels that carry shame or imply deficiency? The following blogpost sheds the light on these questions, please read on and discover what this term refers to and how your company is touched upon by it.

Can work be safe when home isn’t? The ripple effects of domestic violence in the workplace
Domestic violence has severe effects on both the mental and physical well-being of victims, and its impact extends beyond the home. In 2023, victims in the United States missed eight million working days, while in Europe, the economic loss amounted to 336 billion euros due to these absences. Disruptions like employees being unable to reach work, constant harassment and phone calls during work hours, or even threatening visits to their workplaces all contribute to the challenges that victims face in maintaining both their professional performance and their privacy. This blog post will explore the legislation of several European countries and companies’ best practices as well as tools that can be implemented to create a safer environment for all employees.

Mind the Gap II. – Myths and the hard facts about gender pay gap
If you are a working woman in the Western world, you probably make less than your male colleagues, unless you are employed in Luxembourg or have a specific set of skills. We discussed European statistics in our previous blog post - You need to mind the gender pay gap at your workplace and how WeAreOpen can help you with it, - but what does the gender pay gap really mean? What are the historical motives behind it? Believe it or not, before the industrial era, the gaps were not as wide. What contributes to the wage discrepancies in the labour market nowadays? Contrary to the public myth, unfortunately motherhood is not the only factor that diminishes women's career prospects.
