What Mitgestalten does

Mitgestalten is a Cologne-based consulting brand and division of parent company Consulimus AG, specializing in employee satisfaction and psychological safety services for German organizations. Founded in 2019, the firm operates with a small core team of six members plus two associated partners, delivering full-service employee surveys (Mitarbeiterbefragung), leadership feedback processes, leadership style analyses, and the legally mandated psychological risk assessments (Gefährdungsbeurteilung psychische Belastung) required under §5 of the German Occupational Health and Safety Act for companies with 10+ employees. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement of HR and leadership teams in mid-market German companies across diverse industries including manufacturing, insurance, automotive aftermarket, and hospitality.

The company's underlying technology consists of proprietary consulting methodology grounded in Amy Edmondson's psychological safety framework, augmented by the MITgefühl product line of physical workshop facilitation tools (KRAFTKARTEN reflection cards, ICEBREAKER Quokka check-in cards, STIMMUNGSBILD Tiefsee planes, and MASSNAHMEN CANVAS flipchart templates). It also operates a content platform anchored by the ZUFRIEDEN ARBEITEN HR podcast (56+ episodes), the Roundtable Psychologische Sicherheit knowledge platform, and a free Schnellcheck self-assessment tool that serves as a low-funnel entry point. There is no AI/ML component to the offering; all survey analytics and facilitation are delivered by human consultants.

Revenue is generated through three streams: bespoke professional services consulting (quote-based, the primary revenue line), one-time training sessions (open enrollment priced at €949 per participant for the July 2026 session, capped at 15 participants), and unit-priced physical product sales through the MITgefühl online shop (€22-€60 per item, Germany-only shipping). The firm serves a horizontal mix of German enterprise clients, with named references including EHRET GmbH, Delvag Versicherungs-AG, TecAlliance GmbH, softfair GmbH, and DEHAG Hotel Service AG. Geographic operations are restricted to Germany/DACH, with the Cologne headquarters at Gottfried-Hagen-Str. 20 also serving as the open training venue.
