Women@BCG Platinion
We are actively working on the BCG Platinion culture, so it becomes an even more diverse, open, and supportive workplace for inspiring women.
The initiative is not only relevant for women at BCG Platinion which means that men are also part of the working streams. Additionally, the WOMEN initiative is the source of many great ideas that will be developed and rolled out for all genders company- wide.
We break with common clichés that IT strategy consulting is only a working environment for men. We are committed to ensure that BCG Platinion’s culture becomes an even more diverse, inspiring, and supportive workplace for women.
Gender diversity is a critical element for our internal working culture and our work at the client. To create an inclusive workspace for all genders, it is important to involve them all. We are therefore proud that men are also part of the Women@BCG Platinion working streams. Additionally, the women initiative is the source of many great ideas that will be developed and rolled out for all genders company-wide. Above that, our local office nodes are in charge of strengthening local connections and community building in our different offices, by organizing get-togethers and ensuring regular exchange within the team.

What our team says about us.
What inspires me about Women Initiatives is the diverse team and approaches brought to the table to ensure an environment which is free of gaps and focused on delivering client value leveraging people's differences and backgrounds. We thrive to find innovative ways to establish a safe and pleasant workplace.
Working at BCG Platinion this year has rapidly shaped both my personal and professional growth, thanks to a working environment that champions and provides you with the tools to achieve curiosity, drive and efficient collaboration, fostering a mindset of constant improvement. Through BCG Platinion I was able to improve my self-confidence as a professional, thanks to the thorough mentorship and by observing and learning from colleagues who have always demonstrated smartness and innovative thinking - this is by far what I consider the most fascinating aspect of this job.
I am part of the Women@BCG Platinion initiative because we primarily represent human concerns. The initiative has a mission shared by the leadership with a strong mandate.
In the BCG Platinion Women Initiative, I experience my individual growth through my commitment to (fe)male empowerment and implement the 'grow by growing others' principle. This reflects our transformative and inclusive corporate culture, in which everyone can have a tangible impact.
What inspires me about the Women Initiative is the interdisciplinary team that works together to put various measures in place, ensuring that BCG Platinion is a pleasant workplace for women. By working together with a wide variety of colleagues, we are constantly coming up with new ideas that we bring to life together.
