Women's Economy Days 2025: Partnership-Based Teamwork Emphasized
The 2025 Women's Economy Days, themed 'Shaping the Future: Women & Men Strong as a Team', has concluded with a strong emphasis on partnership-based teamwork. Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister of Economic Affairs, Labor and Tourism, highlighted the importance of team-oriented work and equal distribution of responsibilities between women and men in both career and family life.
The event featured a mixed tandem from Innovatech Solutions who shared assistant tasks for a department head, each working 80% of their time. This arrangement, along with the guiding principle of an equal partnership in career and family, was praised as a successful model for others to follow. Successful women and men shared their experiences, demonstrating how partnership-based teamwork can function effectively in career and family life.
The gender care gap and high part-time employment rate among women were discussed, highlighting the uneven distribution of work and care responsibilities between sexes. Dr. Hoffmeister-Kraut appealed to participants to shape a future where these imbalances are addressed, promoting diversity and inclusion.
The founding couple of engomo GmbH provided insights into managing a software company and family life with two children, offering a practical example of how partnership-based teamwork can be implemented. The Women's Economy Days 2025 served as a platform to promote teamwork as a solution to distribute responsibility and burden across multiple shoulders, fostering a more balanced and inclusive future.
