Work-life balance that lands.
In the room, in the team, in the mind.
Practical nudges and interactive formats around parental leave, care and life stage oriented leadership. In German or English, online or on site.
Talks and workshops also reach people the digital assistant doesn't support yet: employees who don't yet know what is coming. Managers who want to be sensitized. HR professionals looking for inspiration and solutions.
Our formats fit many settings, from theme weeks and employee networks to leadership programs and strategy days to HR networks and professional conferences.
Who would you like to book for?
Information and orientation for employees
Becoming a parent is intense. What do I have to apply for and when? How do we split parental leave? How do I plan the handover? How will returning to work go? Packed into sessions that give orientation and open up room to maneuver.
Keynote talks and webinars of 60 to 90 minutes incl. Q&A. Online, hybrid or on site. In German or English.
Sensitization for managers
When employees become parents, something changes in the team. Managers play a bigger role than they often realize. Our formats strengthen exactly this role, provide concrete tips and raise awareness sustainably. What really moves parents and caregivers in everyday work? And how do you lead so that loyalty and motivation are maintained?
Webinars, keynote talks and interactive workshops of 60 minutes to 3 hours. Online, hybrid or on site. In German or English.
Inspiration for HR professionals
Family friendliness has many faces. What fits which organizational culture and which framework conditions? How do family-friendly measures become visible, internally and externally, and why does that matter? Our formats deliver nudges and inspiration that can be applied directly in practice.
Keynote talks and interactive workshops of 60 minutes to 3 hours. Online, hybrid or on site. In German or English.

Experience from real rooms
Alexandra Klasen-Schmitt
Family and Care Office | Max Planck Institute
That was no run-of-the-mill talk, because it was really tailored to us. The feedback afterwards was consistently very positive too, and some people could already implement things directly in practice.
Highlights
- Bilingual, with handout and recording for everyone.
- Likeable, uncomplicated and absolutely professional.
- We are planning further joint projects.
Catrina Lohmeyer
Head of Office Verbund Wirtschaft + Familie e.V. | Nienburg
For me, the exchange after the talk was especially valuable. Karo gave a lot of meaningful input and kept bringing in other interesting perspectives.
Highlights
- Figures that show how important parental leave support really is.
- Not just informative, but with real added value in the exchange afterwards.
- Uncomplicated from preparation to delivery.
Manager, workshop at a German automotive group
Work-life balance at lunch: a room full of perspectives. Expecting parents, mothers, fathers, managers and HR professionals. The common topic: what does parental leave do to people and organizations, and how can this intense phase be actively supported?
“Parental leave is adventure, state of emergency and personal development program all in one.”
From a talk at the family network of an international corporation
A network that brings parents and expecting parents together. The discussion revolved around preparation, return to work and the question of which skills grow during parental leave. Communication skills, prioritization, resilience. A selection of what parenthood makes visible.
“My learning was that what matters most is the communication between employees and manager.”
Manager, Diversity Week of an international technology group
As part of a Diversity Week, heyParents moderated a workshop on parental leave from different perspectives. The result: when communication and coordination are right, a real sense of belonging also arises during the absence.
“Parental leave is adventure, state of emergency and personal development program all in one.”
