💅 Hard as Nails – Breaking Stereotypes, One Nail at a Time 💅 Recently the team took part in the awesome Hard as Nails campaign, proudly spearheaded by our Lead Agile Coach, Carlo Beschi 🌟. The initiative challenges outdated stereotypes, encouraging open conversations around masculinity and mental health. Men across the business got involved by painting their nails. Some even took part in the official research, adding their voices to this important movement. And for some painted nails were already a part of their everyday life—a simple yet powerful way to express themselves…. “As someone who has been painting my nails for years, it’s incredible to see more men embracing this small yet meaningful act of self-expression. Initiatives like Hard as Nails help break down outdated norms and open up important conversations. Seeing colleagues take part, reflect on their experiences, and even continue beyond the campaign shows real progress. Here’s to making choice, confidence, and individuality the norm for everyone.” - Ro Jurriaans, Engineering Manager “Tried the Hard As Nails challenge—turns out, painted nails won’t crack my masculinity, but they did start some great conversations about mental health. Should men polish their fingertips more? Probably not my thing long-term. But the confused double-takes from strangers? Worth every brushstroke. I believe everyone should feel empowered to express themselves freely, without the constraints of societal norms. By challenging conformist ideals that impose rigid expectations on both men and women, we can foster healthier, more inclusive perspectives that support mental well-being.” - Andreas Wellinger, Chief Financial Officer A huge thank you to everyone who took part, showed their support, and helped spark conversations that matter. Let’s continue to challenge perceptions and champion self-expression, one painted nail at a time. 💙 #HardAsNails #BreakingBarriers #forceforgood #drivingchange #treatyourselfwell #treateveryonewell
