We are deeply saddened and shocked: Jean-Luc, co-founder and board member of PROUT AT WORK, has passed away unexpectedly.

Jean-Luc leaves a painful and unclosable gap in our team and our community, for which he has worked tirelessly and selflessly for decades. Our two board members Jean-Luc and Albert came up with the idea for PROUT AT WORK 20 years ago. His unstoppable efforts, his warmth and his commitment to queer diversity and equal opportunities have had a lasting impact on our work. As a result, he has not only enriched our lives, but those of countless others.

Please understand that we are currently unable to answer your questions. We will keep you informed as to when and how we can say goodbye together.

We send our sympathy and thoughts to all the people who have been moved and impacted by his work as much as we have.

Repose en paix, Jean-Luc!

Queer is
everyone’s
business

The PROUT AT WORK-Foundation increases awareness of queer topics in the workplace in ways that can be seen, felt and experienced.
That way, equal opportunities for queer people become a matter of course, a part of everyday life, and talents and energies can be fully realised.

This openness benefits everyone: individuals and companies, society and business.

Where we come in

PROUT AT WORK is a leading German think tank, providing advice and shaping the debate on queer topics in the workplace. Our goal is equal opportunities for people of any sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sexual characteristics.

We support and guide individuals, networks, companies and organisations by providing strategic guidance on workplace culture as well as educational services and sensitivity training for employees and executives.

Together, we can increase our scope for action and shape today’s and tomorrow’s society.
