June is Pride Month – a time for visibility, support, and celebration of diversity. But in 2025, it also feels like a time for reflection. Rights and freedoms that were once taken for granted are now under pressure. That makes it more important than ever to stand firm in what we believe in.
At Stratema, inclusion isn’t about following trends – it’s about building something lasting. For us, diversity and psychological safety are essential to long-term value creation, innovation, and cultural growth.
We believe that diversity strengthens both our people and our deliverables. When different perspectives are invited to the table, we make better decisions. When people feel safe and seen, they perform at their best. This isn’t a side project – it’s a core element of how we operate.
“We want a workplace where people bring their personality into our shared culture – not leave it outside the door.”
— Dave Sandberg, Partner at Stratema
That’s why we speak up when our values are challenged.
We’re seeing leaders – including in the US and parts of Europe – actively undermining the rights of LGBTQ+ people and other minorities. When this happens, the business community cannot remain silent. On the contrary, it’s in these moments we must raise our voice and take responsibility.
We believe in trust-based leadership, psychological safety, and a culture where differences are seen as a strength. That means being a clear voice for inclusion – not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s not.
Inclusion is a genuine priority at Stratema. That’s reflected in how we work:
This isn’t just about employees – it also shapes how we work with our clients, partners, and the society around us.
Stratema is a place where people should feel safe being themselves. Not in spite of who they are – but because we believe personal integrity and professional strength go hand in hand.
We stand firm in our belief:
The future is inclusive. And we all share the responsibility of shaping it.
