Careers Stories

Fun and finance might not immediately strike you as two things that go together. Well, unless you’re just enjoying spending money. And who doesn’t, right? But if you have a curious mind, you might discover they’re not so far apart after all - as our **Head of Learning and Development**, **Jen**, found out they might not be as far apart as you think. 

“I didn't always imagine myself here. My career started in financial services, which was interesting and fulfilling in its own way. However, there was always a part of me that craved something more purpose-driven, something that truly aligned with my passions."

That's when the LEGO Group came into the picture. A lifelong fan, Jen had long been an admirer of the brand's creativity and commitment to making a difference. She recalls fondly walking past the LEGO® Campus in Denmark with her family: a chance encounter that eventually sparked a career change.

“It started with a joke. I pointed at a random window and told my sons, ‘I'm going to work from that window’. It was a light-hearted comment that planted a seed. Soon after, I found myself looking for ways to translate my interest in joining the company into the next step in my career journey."

"That's how I ended up here, moving from Scotland to Denmark, working for the brand I love, surrounded by passionate, talented people.”

And has it lived up to her expectations and what does her role look like today?

“The LEGO Group is a truly welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone is celebrated.  I think about the workplace that I came into as a young graduate and how far society has come since then. As a gay woman with a family, I feel valued and supported. The company also prioritizes employee well-being, encouraging us to find the right balance between work and life."

“I have a team spanning nine different locations, so my role can be quite challenging at times. There isn't one time slot that works for everyone. So, we're really creative with how we get together, how we work virtually and where we're located, or co located. 

“Right now, I’m leading a skills pilot, where we're piloting new technology to help us understand the skills we need, and the skills we have. The technology helps us to define that at a bigger scale using AI driven tools.”




So it sounds like the journey has been worthwhile?

"Going from working in financial services, which I really enjoyed, to working for my number one brand, a truly purpose-led and successful organization, has been a positive shift for me. The fact that I can walk into a shop, see LEGO sets, and know that my team has helped everyone in the organization to develop the skills and therefore to support the organization's success is hugely exciting."


JUST_IMAGINE_LIFESTYLE_076.jpg

“My leader is extremely passionate, and we've had lots of conversations about how we can make skills learning and development as engaging and impactful as possible for our colleagues. We've also discussed how I can continue to develop in my passion areas to ensure to ensure I keep my own skills fresh and developed."

“I'm excited to continue shaping my role and working with my team to create the most engaging and impactful learning experiences for our employees. There's always something new and exciting happening at the LEGO Group, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.”

LIVE: Behind the Bricks

"‘Play’ is the DNA of the LEGO® brand. Only when each of us at the LEGO Group truly understands what ‘play’ means, can we deliver that in a meaningful way to children." 

“We inspire curious minds through play. Play inspires me to be creative.”

**Tracy**, who works in our **Retail Operations Team in Shanghai, China**, shares the belief in the power of playful learning. It’s how our colleagues are able  inspire and develop the curious minds of the builders of tomorrow. By making play a part of what we do, we ensure that everyone who works with us is enabled, empowered and engaged. 

This is how we succeed: by living the LEGO Group core values and seeing how these come to life through the imaginations of everyone who works here. 

3.jpg

"I’ve been working in training since I started my career. 
But I didn’t know how it could be so creative and fun until I joined the LEGO Group."

"What’s more, it plays a vital role in helping us all to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge we need to be better at what we do. It’s how we innovate for the business and grow personally and professionally.”

The LEGO Group's commitment to playful learning extends beyond formal training programs. 
It's woven into the fabric of the company's culture, fostering a work environment where creativity, innovation, and collaboration thrives.
Colleagues are encouraged to experiment, take risks and learn from our mistakes, just as children do through play.

This approach to learning not only benefits colleagues, but also translates into a better customer experience. With colleagues who are passionate about their work and have a deep understanding of the LEGO® brand values, we are better equipped to create products and play experiences that truly resonate with customers and consumers.

4.jpg

“For us, learning is not just a task. It’s a playful and engaging experience. We try to make this come alive in all of our training initiatives."

"One example of this was transforming the annual training course for our Store Manager Forum into a fun-filled event with over 200 participants engaging in games and activities. The cheers and laughter filling the room were a testament to the success of this playful approach to learning."

Our success story is a testament to the power of playful learning. 
By fostering a culture of creativity, innovation, and fun, the company has not only attracted and retained top talent but also built a brand that is loved by children and adults around the world. 

It's a reminder that learning doesn't have to be boring; it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Just Imagine with Tracy

It’s not just what you do at the LEGO Group that makes working here a fulfilling experience. 
It’s who you work with, how and why, that makes a difference too. But don’t take our word for it. Some things are best said by the people who experience this reality, day-in, day out. Meet **Johnny** and **Frank** at our growing operations in China.

"Going above and beyond to delight customers. That's part of the exciting story we share."

Johnny and Frank both work in very different roles. But when we ask them to describe what they like most about working here, a compelling story begins to take shape. 

Let’s start with Johnny who works at LEGO® China Digital:

6.jpg

"I think the biggest difference in working at the LEGO Group is the unspoken understanding between colleagues. We all think about ways to make the best of things. We don’t say that the project only has this time, so maybe we can only do it here. We don’t say that I have finished this link, and it will not be my business until the next link."

There’s a lot to take away from Johnny’s observations. Firstly, they speak to our strong belief in the power of collaboration. This is rooted deep in our culture as a business. 
We are not the usual kind of company. As passionate advocates for the transformative power of play, it makes sense that we practice the principles that make play a positive and useful tool for exploring the possibilities. 

Play at its best involves everyone engaging and supporting one another. It’s the exact same thing with how we approach our work.

It’s this flexible approach and willingness to experiment that allows us to be more creative and find unexpected solutions. It’s also makes working here more varied and fun. And when we have fun, we enjoy ourselves more and have a very real desire to create something that surprises, delights and engages our customers.

This is something Frank strongly identifies within his role in the Packing Maintenance department:


2.jpg

"We all want to do everything to a high standard and bring the best experience to our users. I think the great thing about the LEGO Group is not only that it creates a lot of fun toys, but we also deliver great value."

This shows us that how we approach things is every bit as important as what we create. It’s something that translates into the end product because it’s been there at key stages of its creation and there is a shared ownership - a sense of duty almost - of customer loyalty. 

They expect something that takes them that little bit further, so we have to map out the best, most satisfying way to get there.

There has to be a high-degree of collaboration to drive what we do.
Our commitment to pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations is all there in our core values.

It's not just about creating fun toys; it's about fostering a culture where employees are empowered to go above and beyond, both in their work and in their communities. This is exemplified by Frank’s experience of volunteering at the Jiaxing Science and Technology Museum:

8.jpg

"I volunteered at the Jiaxing Science and Technology Museum. I explained to the children who came to see us that the earth is sick now because some people litter and cut down trees. 

I didn’t expect this to inspire my my son. He remembers what I said, so when he saw others littering outside, he would try to dissuade them from doing so. I felt very proud of him for this. It also made me realize that what we do can change behaviours and influence better outcomes.”


7.jpg

This collaborative spirit and refusal to settle for second best can make a real difference in the wider world. This can only happen through talented people coming together, each of them determined to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow.

9.jpg

It’s not just what you do at the LEGO Group that makes working here a fulfilling experience. 
It’s who you work with, how and why, that makes a difference too. 

Just Imagine with Johnny and Frank

How do you build a different world? A better future? We think it starts by working together to explore the possibilities. One way to do that is to light a fire in the imagination of young minds. So that’s what we did. With a big helping hand from our friends at Comic Relief. This is the story of what happens when people with a common cause work together to empower curious minds. 

Untitled_design_(7).jpg

**David Pallash** is our **Director of Learning through Play in the Social Responsibility** team. He began the collaboration with Comic Relief via our social impact program, Build the Change, which empowers children to create solutions to real-world challenges. This partnership enabled children to experience the power of play while designing a brighter tomorrow:

David_Pallash.jpeg

"Play is all about working together and having fun. It’s such a crucial part of how we learn and it's at the heart of Build the Change. We've seen firsthand how engaging curious young minds in sustainability issues through play can enhance children's learning and have a lasting impact as it ignites their creative confidence and compassion for the world around them. And our collaboration with the brilliant and playful Comic Relief teams has been no exception. Together, we're inspiring children to build a better world as they have fun and gain 21st-century skills in the process."

These sentiments resonate strongly with **Mary Catherine Burdine-Hurrion**. As **Director for Partnership Development, for Comic Relief** in the US,  she was closely involved with David and his team on the Community Builders Challenge, which sees children reimagine and build “dream communities” that promote empathy and kindness for others:

Untitled_design_(3).jpg

“There is so much synergy in our values and mission. Our organization is rooted in the belief that you’re never too young to make a difference and that true philanthropy extends far beyond financial contributions to drive social change. Both Build the Change and Comic Relief believe that, through everyday actions and collective moments of joy, we can find solutions to the world's most pressing problems.”

Having set up and managed the partnerships, both here in the UK and the US, we ask David to tell us how things have changed:

David_and_Filipe.jpeg

“Well, for one thing, this year we had the UK partnership looking at environmental challenges and the US partnership looking at a social challenge: two very different approaches. What they have in common is that children provide the ideas to create a better world. It helps them to realise that their ideas matter and need to be heard. It’s helpful for educators too. It gives them a fun way to talk about these topics - rather than avoiding them."

It was **Social Responsibility Consultant, Filipe Gaspar's** second- time involvement on the project, and he noticed another difference from previous years.

“First time around, I mostly supported and learned from David. This year, I was more active in project management with David dipping in and out to support. It’s been a useful opportunity to grow."


Filipe_LEGO_backdrop.jpeg

“When you’re developing kids resources, you’re always thinking about how to make language and experience as simple and accessible as possible. To be able to convey complex concepts meaningfully, in a jargon-free, child-friendly way, is an awesome challenge. It’s been amazing to explore. Try it – I promise you that you’ll end up understanding the subject better than you ever did before.”

The whole collaboration has been enormously successful - and children aren’t the only ones who’ve learned something, as Mary Catherine is keen to point out:

“We learned so much from this project. Students have shown us a whole new level of wonder in how kids can imagine a better world.  They’ve brought their kindness and consideration to life in so many different ways. Whether it was a music studio, a friendship park, or a community hospital, all the ideas so far have been amazing. They’ve reinforced our belief that you’re never too young to make a difference. It’s what children’s dreams can do - when they have a creative place to apply them."

This is something that resonates with **Tilly: a Partnership Executive at Comic Relief UK**:



Untitled_design_(6).jpg

“I'm really proud of our partnership's focus on engaging the next generation of change-makers. As an ex-teacher, I'm always blown away by the ideas young people come up with when given the tools and the space to be creative. It's been so exciting to work with the LEGO Group on giving kids the chance to use their creativity."

“We've been lucky enough to work with presenter and YouTuber, Maddie Moate, on this year's competition too. Seeing Maddie and David get their hands on some LEGO bricks (and some Red Noses!) was a great reminder of how much Comic Relief and the LEGO Group have in common - combining fun, collaboration and creativity with real-world impact.”

For David, this project has been about giving children a voice. For Filipe, it’s been a means to make the world more fun and inclusive:

Comic_Relief_US_staff_build_materials.jpg

Play is everyone’s superpower - including ourselves. It comes out as we build and craft Build the Change sessions and activities for children and when we run creative workshops where only whacky ideas are allowed. It’s how we encourage each of us to bring our whole selves to work.” 

So how has it been to work with an iconic charity on both sides of the Atlantic? The final words we we’ll leave to David:

“They are both wonderful teams – always up for a giggle yet serious when we need to be. They get it. They understand our mission and we understand theirs.”

Who knew work could be such fun. 

Our free social impact program is supported by the LEGO Foundation and inspires children to use their creativity to tackle real-world challenges with LEGO® bricks and other creative materials.

Build the Change 

Through our local community engagement programs, employees volunteer to support the children who need it most.

Local community engagement 

Our Play Day brings together colleagues from around the world to play, socialize and have fun. Our goal is to equip all employees to create playful moments at work, at home and in their local communities.

**Kezia, Archiving Assistant LEGO Group Archives**, has an important role supporting our corporate historians and other LEGO® colleagues, but because of the nature of her work, very few people know the specifics of her daily job… or even where it’s located! We had the pleasure of interviewing Kezia about her role – and trying to get a few secrets out of her along the way.

LegoRM-116-7N0A6471.jpg

**First, what does your job as an Archiving Assistant entail?**

"Our team is responsible for preserving the corporate archives, so as you can imagine, we spend a lot of time sorting, scanning and filing paper records as well as supporting the corporate historians on their projects. But we also maintain a product archive, and sometimes we’ll be asked to build old models for the LEGO House History Collection or other corporate displays, or for our designers to use as reference materials for new products.

"When you’re filing, you get to read the materials and come across lots of different dialogues. Along the way, we’ve had a lot of laughs, and also lots of “ah-ha” moments where we learn something new or find a piece of LEGO history that we didn’t have yet. Most of it is secret, so unfortunately I can’t give specifics, but I can say that we have fun."

LegoRM-117-7N0A6540.jpg

**Speaking of secrets, very few people know about your department, and in some ways that's by design, right?**

"That’s true, not many people know about us. We are a need-to-have department for preserving corporate history, but since we’re a bit secretive about our jobs in order to protect important and irreplaceable materials, many people don’t realise how much our work contributes to the heritage of the business. 
It’s especially important for new colleagues to learn where our corporate values and beliefs originated so that they buy into them. Since I sit with the actual documents, I can see that these values are not just legends that got passed down… they really reflect what the founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen stood for and what has been passed down through the years."

**Are there any specific examples that stick out in your mind?**

"One time I came across a series of letters from a Danish pastor in Canada, written in the 1980s or 1990s. The pastor remembered playing with LEGO bricks as a child, so he wrote to the Canadian office asking if they could donate bricks for the children’s play area in the church. When the office declined his request, the pastor wrote another letter directly to Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, who was CEO at the time, expressing his disappointment because we hadn’t lived up to our values as a company. Not only did Kjeld send two boxes of LEGO bricks to the church, but he also wrote a personal apology and thanked the pastor for remembering LEGO bricks from his childhood.

"There are many stories like this one that just make me think “Wow!” because they reveal the true heart of the company and how colleagues have lived these values out over the years. There’s so much depth to explore in our corporate history!"

LegoRM-110-7N0A6266.jpg

**What's your favourite part of your job?**

"We do so many different tasks, and of course it’s fun building models, but actually my favourite part of the job is filing documents. When I'm filing and making sure that things are put in the right place so that everything is in order, that makes me happy."



**So you’re like the Marie Kondo of the archives in a way?**

"In a way, yes! It brings me joy seeing good quality in our filing system."

**In today’s world where corporate records and correspondence are created digitally, how does the team manage these records?**

"We have an extensive digital archiving system including the older documents that have been scanned and uploaded, digitally created files, and even some business-critical emails. We’re always collecting new bits of corporate history."


**At what point do you think the archiving work will be finished and you’ll focus solely on collecting new records?**

"I don’t know if we’ll ever be finished! Colleagues are always bringing us more materials, especially when departments are relocated or restructured. As teams from around Billund moved into LEGO Campus, we sometimes received whole truckloads full of boxes to sort and file. So as long as colleagues keep uncovering historical gems, we’ll always have more to do."


Kezia, Archiving Assistant has an important role supporting our corporate historians, but because of the nature of her work, very few people know the specifics of her daily job… or even where it’s located! We had the pleasure of interviewing Kezia about her role – and trying to get a few secrets out of her along the way.

The most interesting job you’ve never heard of. 

Hero_Overlay_button_Image_3_(1).jpg

To be a genuinely inclusive workplace, you also have to be a wholly accessible one. Many of our colleagues know this only too well. Some have a disability themselves. Others have experience of one as a parent or ally. Either way, the people in our Accessibility Colleague Advocacy Group bring their insights to drive change for the better, so anyone can make the most of their difference.


Rachelle_hero_block.jpg

**Rachelle Denton** is **Head of Social Strategy** at our **London Hub**. She has ADHD and is mum to an autistic child who also has ADHD.

“Not everyone is comfortable sharing their accessibility needs in the workplace. Which is why I believe passionately in the importance of role models to advocate for all. Some accessibility needs might not be visible. So one of our goals is to create awareness of others’ needs. This will help to ensure we operate an inclusive workplace.

“I’ve recently joined the group as our London representative. It’s been great to speak with everyone from young visitors and recruitment to creatives and senior leadership about accessibility, especially when it comes to neurodiversity.”


Hero_Block_Ilona.jpg

**Ilona Ruzsinszky-Takács** is facing similar challenges being a mum of an autistic child. She leads the **Quality and Environment Health and Safety** team in **Nyíregyháza, Hungary**.

“I take every chance to advocate for equity and disability inclusion. It is a tragic waste of potential not to recognise the unique value of disabled and neurodiverse individuals. I’m proud to be the Chairperson for the Global Accessibility Advocacy Group, as well as the team leader for our Local Diversity Task Force in Hungary.

“Our group is a safe space for people to share their experiences. We’re lucky to have members with experience of a broad range of disabilities and neurodivergence. It’s a chance for us to learn about each other's needs and challenges.

“This means we can educate ourselves, as well as share what we know with the wider LEGO teams colleagues. Through our Six Bricks Inclusion programme, we reached over 3,000 colleagues in four countries. We’re looking to expand this further globally, so even more can learn about disabilities and how to treat disabled colleagues respectfully.

"Additionally we are launching In cooperation with a Community Engagement program for children, so they have a chance to learn and experience Six Bricks Inclusion.This can be great help parents, like me ,who are working hard In getting their special needs child Integrated to school and society."



Hero_Block_Anges.jpg

**Environment, Health & Safety Senior Engineer,  Ágnes Nyuzó,** also works in **Nyíregyháza**. She starts by telling us about the importance of acceptance. 

“Acceptance focuses on strengths rather than differences. It’s how we show that we genuinely care and we are driven to help make a difference, where problem-solving is concerned. I hope all of our LEGO® colleagues join us on our journey for a better and more accepting workplace for everyone.

“There are many awareness months and events aimed at educating people around various disabilities. This is a vital step forward as it promotes understanding and compassion.”


Hero_Block_Sandra.jpg

In **Spain, Digital Marketing Manager, Sandra Aline Saillen**, explains how a hereditary condition left her with hearing loss since the age of 16:

“I’ve been wearing hearing aids on both ears for the last 10 years. Due to my personal condition, I try to advocate as much as I can about accessibility. The LEGO Group is a great employer who has always been very accommodating. I can work as any other colleague does.

“The group has a great sense of community and gives me lots of support and useful tools. It’s also very effective in raising awareness around accessibility and how it impacts all of us. 

“I understand there are lots of issues around D&I but what I suggest to people is this: give what time and energy you can to learn, share or participate as appropriate. If we all do something, little by little, we’ll move towards equality for everyone.”

The Co-Lead for the **Americas** group is **Consumer Services Advisor, Tessa Fronzaglio.** She tells us her involvement stems from a deep-rooted passion for social justice, inclusivity, and well-being. She’s also keen to share how links beyond the business are helping:

“We‘ve struck up partnerships with several non-profit organisations, such as The Asperger/ Autism Network and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The Department of Aging and Disability Services have also guided us in rich and productive conversations for anyone to attend. This type of collaboration brings value by creating a more holistic and inclusive work culture.

“Several Disability Rights activists have attended our virtual events focused on allyship, etiquette and inclusion. None of this would have been possible without the support of our amazing Diversity & Inclusion team, fellow Colleague Advocacy Groups and Alexis Lord Voss in Procurement.”

Some members of the group support it because they see the fundamental importance of inclusion.  Like **Maria Quiñones**, our **Business Controller** for **France Iberia**:

“The Accessibility Colleague Advocacy Group has some amazing objectives and has the potential to create a huge impact - both within the business and on society. I think it reflects our values in what it does. Being curious and brave, to learn more about each other and our differences but also what makes us all equal. 

“It’s enabled me to connect with different people and learn much more about this topic. It’s opened my mind and inspired me to be part of making change happen.”

We’ll leave the final words to one of the groups newest members. **Pedro Alejandro Yang** is a **Programme Specialist** at the **LEGO Foundation** in **Billund**. He’s passionate about driving internal initiatives to enrich everyone’s journey within the business: 

“When we learn to appreciate what makes each of us unique and accommodate them, we create a culture of respect leading to productive collaboration that help us build a balance of professional goals and intrinsic rewards.

“Just imagine working for a company that really appreciates the strength that diversity brings. Fun and play are part of what we do here. It’s important that we do this together. This is how we’ll inspire the builders of tomorrow.”

Our Accessibility Advocacy Group has an exciting agenda. Make sure you stay tuned over the coming months to hear updates from the group.

To be a genuinely inclusive workplace, you also have to be a wholly accessible one. Many of our colleagues know this only too well. Some have a disability themselves. Others have experience of one as a parent or ally. Either way, the people in our Accessibility Colleague Advocacy Group bring their insights to drive change for the better, so anyone can make the most of their difference.

There’s a place for everyone here.

LEGO® play is for everyone, and so is our workplace. We believe people are at their very best when they feel able to fully be themselves and our Colleague Advocacy Groups play a major role in helping to make this happen at the LEGO Group. This week, we’re going to hear from some of our Rainbow Builders who represent our LGBTQIA+ colleague led community group.

Our guides for this tour are **Finance Director, Mazen** and **Associate Content Manager, Sarah**, based in our **London Hub**. **Design Manager, Jules**, in **Billund**. **Singapore-based Jeremy** who works as **Sr. Regional Sales Manager** and finally our **Mexican** colleague, **Roberto** who’s a **Sr. Manager for LEGO® Certified Stores in Latin America.** 


Mazen.jpg

**Mazen** is one of three co-leads for the group globally and heads up the London Hub chapter:

“Essentially, Rainbow Builders is a safe space for all our LGBTQIA+ colleagues. Together, we work on fostering representation for our community and contributing to projects and activities in the wider business. It’s all part of helping to make the LEGO Group a great place to work for anyone who identifies in this way, as well as an attractive employer generally. 

“We’re a very active group and get involved in all kinds of events - everything from Fireside chats and supporting creation on training materials to support Pride events. Our links with local LGBTQIA+ groups in communities where we have a presence are important too as they help us to promote Diversity & Inclusion. We also work closely with our LEGO Group D&I team, as well as the People, Operations & Development function to support the interests of the LGBTQIA+ community across the business.”

Jules.jpg

**Jules** took on responsibility for the LGBTQIA+ Colleague Advocacy Group in Billund back in 2021. Around the same time, Mazen invited her to become a Rainbow Builder. She’s eager to share how positive the experience has been.

“The group is really supportive and together we know we can accomplish a great deal. Especially when it’s come to organising activities for Copenhagen Pride, which we’ve done for the past two years. 

“Personally, being involved in last year’s Pride felt like the most meaningful achievement I’ve had so far at the LEGO Group! It was very emotional at times – and incredibly rewarding. Our LEGO colleagues who volunteered at the event shared very personal stories with the families that came to our stand - and vice versa. There were hugs, tears, laughter… everything! None of this could have happened without Rainbow Builders. But there’s always more to do and we are driven by our desire to create positive change. This year, we worked with our People House Campus team in Denmark leads to advise on internal celebrations for this year’s Pride. It was fun to see colleagues celebrating pride, dressed in pride colours and enjoying some music quiz fun on campus. 

“Of course, recognition stretches beyond Pride month and we have an active internal messaging group where we celebrate days for individual groups that belong within the community, such as Coming Out Day or Transgender Day of Visibility. I really value these interactions with colleagues around the world and it’s an amazing way to meet colleagues from other LEGO site.” 

Sarah.jpg

The impact and influence of the group is a theme that **Sarah** picks up:

“Caring is one of our core values and our People Promise is all about succeeding and growing together.  This requires an inclusive approach and as a Rainbow Builder, I get to play a part in creating an environment where people can be themselves – after all, we know colleagues perform best when they feel seen, heard and respected. It’s really important we mark Pride and create visibility for the community in our workplace and support external Pride events. We want to make a positive difference in the lives of children; for our colleagues, our partners, and the world we live in. I believe our active support both internally for our colleagues and publicly at events shows our fans and customers that we truly care about being an inclusive and welcoming brand.”


Jeremy.jpg

When it comes to the link with the brand, second co-lead, **Jeremy**, believes it’s powerful and unifying - and a united front is vital at all levels of the business:

“We celebrate everyone is awesome, and actively seek to learn from children’s play experiences. Young children naturally play together regardless of the differences society can often focus on.  We believe in the power of play and the power of children and in many aspects, they are our role models – especially when it comes to being accepting of others!

“Change requires a concerted group effort. As Rainbow Builders, we will always keep pushing for progress but we will not succeed and grow without the help of others. Allies are super important, both externally but also within our company and at every level of the organisation, especially our senior leaders. By working together, we can create a more inclusive, accepting world.” 

Roberto.jpg

We’ll leave the final words to **Roberto**, the third of the trio of co-leads. He is realistic about the task ahead and paints a positive picture of what working here looks like right now:

“Globally, there is still a long way to go. As individuals, as society, as teams and as a company, we are all on an educational journey. We are all evolving, learning, and improving processes all the time and must continue to work together as much as possible to keep up progress. 

“As a company, we’re in a good place at the moment but we will always keep working to do more. We all want to feel accepted, to come to a place where your colleagues are your friends, where you can bring your best, most authentic self to work and know that that is valued and recognised.”

Our colleague led groups are growing and always welcoming new members. Timeless Builders, Asian, People of Colour, Women, Accessibility and Rainbow Builders are our global communities but there are local groups and task forces in LEGO offices, hubs and stores all over the world. Which one would you join?

Just Imagine with Travis 💭

A curious mind is a hungry mind. Just imagine indulging yours in a business that thrives on sharing knowledge and challenging one another to create the best outcomes. This is just part of the reason our Strategy Director, Travis Peoples, finds his wide-ranging role in Sustainability so fulfilling.

Just Imagine with Lauren 

Just imagine what you did every day could end up changing the world forever. This is how Lauren von Stackelberg (she/her) sees her role as our Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. Change does not happen quickly or easily when the task is so big. But Lauren is under no illusions about this and she doesn’t do it alone. Collaborating, listening and learning with a curious, open mind are as much part of her journey as they are of everyone who works here.
