Women@Refractories kicked off the second year of the initiative on February 6, 2025, with “Work-life balance-oriented leadership – a key skill for the modern workplace.”

In this online seminar led by Nadine Schulz (founder of Career & Care), (prospective) managers learned how work-life balance-oriented leadership can not only increase employee satisfaction and retention, but also take their own leadership skills to a new level. Using a mix of emotional and rational approaches, the seminar showed how family-friendly policies not only improve the working atmosphere but also lead to better results. After the seminar, participants had the opportunity to network with each other.
