Workshops

In these sessions, we work with anyone interested in learning about the challenges of balancing family and paid work and how they can help make the company more parent-friendly.

I conduct workshops aimed at mothers, fathers, and anyone wanting to create a more inclusive, respectful work environment that supports a healthy life balance and joint responsibility. The goal is to raise awareness of the challenges in balancing family and work life and collaborate on making it easier for everyone.

 

I also facilitate circles for parents, working together to ease their transition back to paid work, value the skills developed through parenting, and help them find a balance to fully enjoy all aspects of their lives. This enhances personal and family well-being, and improves professional performance.

Finally, I offer training for managers, team leaders, and HR professionals to raise awareness and provide effective tools to support the reintegration of mothers and fathers, and to conduct bias-free selection processes. This initiative promotes a more inclusive company culture and strengthens relationships between both parties.

How We Will Work

My approach is based on three essential pillars:

Integrative and Collaborative Approach: I recognize the importance of working not only with parents but with everyone interested in promoting an inclusive and respectful culture that supports a helathy life balance and joint responsibility. I foster a collaborative environment where ideas are exchanged, and diverse perspectives are embraced to find inclusive and effective solutions.

Empowerment and Autonomy: My mission is to empower each individual, providing them with the necessary tools to make tangible and lasting changes. By the end of our collaboration, each participant should feel capable of applying what they've learned, implementing relevant actions, and achieving sustained change over time.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement: I believe the work environment and people's needs are constantly evolving. Therefore, I promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement. It is essential to regularly review and update policies, learn from experiences, and be open to exploring new alternatives to ensure the best practices are implemented and adapt to the changing needs of the workforce.

What people say about me

I asked Lu to design and deliver a training on biases regarding maternity and paternity processes, including tips and advice for leaders to be more inclusive when accompanying employees in their processes. Lu proved to be an active listener to the current challenges we were facing and integrated them into the training, turning pain points into possibilities for improvement. The training was not only very relevant to our needs but also very interactive, engaging the audience in participation and reflection. I highly recommend her for this type of service and advice, Lu can speak from her expertise as a human resources professional but at the same time, she speaks from the heart in a frank, open and courageous way by sharing her experience as a mother who tries to reconcile in her day to day life.
