— Talks & Workshops

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.

— What others say

Experience from real rooms

“That was no run-of-the-mill talk, because it was really tailored to us. The feedback afterwards was consistently very positive, and some of it could be implemented directly in practice.”

Alexandra Klasen-Schmitt

Family and Care Office · Max Planck Institute

Bilingual, with handout and recording for everyone.

Likeable, uncomplicated and absolutely professional.

We are planning further joint projects.

“For me the exchange afterwards was especially valuable. Karo gave a lot of meaningful input and kept bringing in interesting perspectives.”

Catrina Lohmeyer

Head of Office · Verbund Wirtschaft + Familie e.V., Nienburg

Figures that show how important parental leave support is.

Not just informative, but with real added value in the exchange.

Uncomplicated from preparation to delivery.

“Parents are a huge gain for the company.”

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.
