Inclusion & Barrier-free

Diversity is a fact, inclusion is an act!

Frederike Wissel, P7S1 Inklusionsbeauftragte

Frederike Wissel, Inclusion Officer

Since May 2022, I have been the Inclusion Officer for ProSiebenSat.1, coordinating measures to improve the situation of people with disabilities in the Group together with the Disabled Persons' Representative Council. I am the internal and external contact for all topics relating to inclusion and maintain a close exchange with our representative body for the severely disabled.

Self-determined participation and equal opportunities for all colleagues are particularly important to me. At ProSiebenSat.1, we are aware of our important task and are committed to a diverse environment and, in particular, to an inclusive corporate culture. We are certainly not perfect yet, but we work together every day to improve.

Inclusive Initiatives

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Behinderung und Medien e.V. (abm)

We cooperate with Arbeitsgemeinschaft Behinderung und Medien e.V. (abm),  which is responsible for an extensive TV program broadcast nationwide for the circumstances, concerns and interests of people with disabilities. Our Group has supported the initiative since 2000 with the TV magazine CHALLENGE, which is broadcast every first Saturday of the month on both Kabel Eins and SAT.1 GOLD. 

As part of the cooperation, it was also possible to integrate the media library of abm into the HbbTV offering of the SAT.1 GOLD and Kabel Eins stations. As a result, "CHALLENGE" can be the first fully inclusive series to be offered completely barrier-free, i.e. with subtitles, audio description, sign language interpreters and easy language.

Cooperation with the myAbility talent program

As a media group with a wide reach, it is important for us to take responsibility and show attitude. With myAbility Social Enterprise GmbH, we have a strong cooperation partner at our side for the third year in a row. We are very pleased to be a partner of the talent program and to jointly host a career café this year. The Talent Program, a barrier-free career program for students and academics with disabilities and chronic illnesses, is the first of its kind in the German-speaking world and promotes talent through career coaching as well as networking and job shadowing opportunities. At P7S1, we not only want to expand our own talent pool, but also want to support these talents to position themselves confidently in the job market. 

As a partner, we have so far not only been able to provide exciting insights and tips from ProSiebenSat.1's perspective, but also to raise awareness among our employee:s and move forward on the path to an inclusive corporate culture. Because we know: Diverse and inclusive teams are more successful!
