WeAreOpen was founded in Budapest in 2013 by the visionary leaders of Prezi, Google and espell. The founders, Péter Árvai, Richárd Schuster and Miklós Bán had a clear idea to promote and help organisations understand and experience the benefits of openness in the workplace. By 2023, more than 1100 companies joined WeAreOpen’s manifesto, which makes us the largest organisation in the country in the field of corporate inclusivity, with a service palette that covers policy making, capability building and regular reviews.
We encourage Hungary-based employers to join us to become part of a real-life community of openness-championing organisations and to better understand how to take actions towards greater inclusion in the Hungarian workplace.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Clients
I had the pleasure of working with the WeAreOpen team - Nóra, Andrea, and Zsuzsa - in 2025, when I was Deputy CEO responsible for the organization at RTL. They conducted a DEI Audit for us and delivered an Unconscious Bias workshop for our colleagues. They make even the most challenging topics easy to work through. DEI and inclusion are areas where many organizations either stay on the surface or get lost in the sensitivity of the subject. WeAreOpen has found that delicate balance: they combined scientific rigor with a remarkable level of empathy throughout our collaboration. Their work clearly reflects not only deep expertise but also a genuine understanding of the human side of these topics. Both the audit and the workshop demonstrated outstanding professional depth, while their authentic presence created an environment where participants felt comfortable opening up and actively engaging in meaningful discussions. I wholeheartedly recommend WeAreOpen to any organization that sees DEI not as a campaign or a checkbox exercise, but as a core organizational value.

We worked with We Are Open in a strategic collaboration to review our practices around diversity and inclusion. Our cooperation and their professional knowledge, experience contributed significantly to developing our local and regional plans and to translate our values and commitment to actions, as well as to engage our colleagues in various activities.
Miklós Magyar
Regional HR Director, CEE – VELUX
Our collaboration with WeAreOpen has been a true source of inspiration and continuous learning for us. They provided invaluable professional support in developing our unconscious bias materials and delivered a thought-provoking and energizing inclusion session at one of our leadership events. Working with them goes beyond a traditional consulting engagement: the process of thinking together and co-creating already brings significant value. Their openness, flexibility, and genuine curiosity create a safe and inspiring space where real dialogue and growth can happen. Every project we collaborate on generates meaningful impact and supports us on our journey to creating a more inclusive corporate culture.
Alexandra Pető
Lead Talent Management Advisor, DEI Lead, OTP Bank
Our communities were facing important challenges, and we were looking for support from new perspectives - which made our collaboration with WeAreOpen especially valuable. It helped us better understand the needs and translate them into a strategy that works for both leadership and our communities, through a structured yet flexible approach and consistently high professional standards.
Viktória Chudák
Engagement Coordinator, GE HealthCare
Sigma has worked with WeAreOpen on several audits, ranging from workplace openness to pay disparities. Their staff and consultants bring strong professional expertise and a pragmatic understanding of the corporate environment, which makes the collaboration especially valuable. I’m happy to recommend them.
