40 employees create GL@D against discrimination. Johanna Kosler and Jorg Sikorski, employees at Daimler, initiated the Gl@d network with the support of the Diversity Management department. In a press release, Mrs. Kosler describes the weight that was on her shoulders during all the years when she had to hide her sexual identity from her colleagues and superiors, for fear of discrimination. “It’s hard to never be able to talk about a part of your life” she wrote. In the end, she opened up to her close professional circle and took a step which changed her life without creating hostility among her colleagues. Jorg Sikorski, employed in R&D, tells a similar story. First, the two of them gathered a small group of gay colleagues before talking to Daimler’s Diversity Management department and finally creating GL@D.
