Cawa Younosi went from being a child of Afghan refugees to Head of HR at SAP. Today, he is the Executive Director of the Charta der Vielfalt (Diversity Charter) association and a bestselling author.

There's no such thing as no cloud anymore: our private lives are already dominated by the cloud. Imagine an HR leader who drives Tesla.

Qualified applicants are often confronted with prejudices on the part of employers during recruiting. With the Job Analyzer, SAP has now presented a tool that aims to eliminate prejudices regarding age, ethnic origin and towards disabled people and LGBT groups in recruitment.
