Join the teamDiversity & Inclusion
Danske Bank aims to grow a diverse and inclusive culture to mirror the societies we are part of and to create equal opportunities for our employees. Nurturing a sense of belonging is essential to us. When people belong, they are comfortable with expressing themselves openly, freely and in their own voice and feel empowered to make a difference. We believe, that a diverse and inclusive culture will help us unlock the full potential of our employees and to become a better bank for all our stakeholders.

Examples of how we work with Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
Diversity & Inclusion Council
We have established a D&I council and appointed D&I leads in all parts of the bank to ensure sufficient actions are taken to increase diversity and inclusion.
Gender balance in senior leadership
Gender diversity is recognised as a multiplier for other areas of diversity. We have a target for gender balance in senior leadership for 65/35 by 2023.

We are working to eliminate gender bias in recruitment by, e.g., providing recruitment training for managers, screening job ads for gender neutrality and ensuring a gender-neutral use of recruitment channels.
Rainbow families have equal rights
Rainbow families in Danske Bank have the same rights to maternity-, paternity- and parental leave as other families.

internal Rainbow Network for LGBT+ and allies in various countries, including

inclusion and diversity in the bank.

provide workplace support for transgender colleagues and those in the process
of gender transition.

Careers, guys, wives and handshakes
‘Careerist woman’ and ‘Careerist man’ - are they equal concepts? What is the difference between ‘male professions’ and ‘female professions?’ You asked, ‘Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?’ during small talk, but that sounds strange and makes you feel awkward. Situations like this happen to everyone.
