GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:gelebte Unternehmenskultur
English translation:a corporate culture where people walk the talk

Bus/Financial - Management / equal opportunity
German term or phrase: gelebte Unternehmenskultur
Es geht um eine Überschrift in einem Beitrag über Chancengleichheit und Work/Life Balance und um die Unternehmenskultur eines beispielhaft erwähnten Unternehmens. Es wird über das Unternehmen berichtet, nicht von dem Unternehmen über sich selbst. Deshalb passt die Übersetzung, die bei einer früheren Anfrage zu diesem Begriff gewählt wurde "the way we work" hier nicht.
Es geht darum, dass die Begriffe "Chancengleichheit" und "Work/Life Balance" in diesem Unternehmen tatsächlich gelebt werden, nicht nur hohle Phrasen sind.
Any ideas?

a corporate culture where people walk the talk
Explanation:
If you don't mind using corporate jargon.

Then you might ask if the company 'walks the talk'. Are these policies/practices consistently applied or seen as fair to the employees?
