New Paths in Recruiting: Insights for Family-Friendly Companies
How can modern recruitment empower women and create psychological safety? The Competence Center for Women and Work Region Cologne invites you to a networking event for family-friendly companies at zarinfar GmbH in Cologne on October 15, 2026. The evening combines practical professional insights, personal exchange, and a relaxed get-together.
Rethinking Recruiting and Attracting Talent
The focus is on how companies can further develop their target group communication and pursue new paths in recruiting. The presentation by Isabella Steinberg, Talent Acquisition Manager at zarinfar, will address the topic of why the shortage of skilled workers is female – why companies can no longer succeed without women. This gives the event a clear perspective on modern recruitment, equal opportunities, and contemporary employer communication.
Psychological Safety as the Key
Another highlight is the input from Pia Lena Gran, psychologist and systemic consultant. Titled I wanted to say something, but… it addresses how psychological safety opens spaces for everyone. The contribution sheds light on an important foundation for trustful collaboration, open communication, and a corporate culture where employees can share their ideas and perspectives.
Networking with Practical Relevance
The event format Competentia meets… brings small and medium-sized enterprises together on-site. After the welcoming remarks by H. W. Turadj Zarinfar and Competentia Region Cologne, professional insights will follow. Afterwards, a come-together with snacks and drinks provides an opportunity to make contacts, exchange experiences from recruiting, and take concrete suggestions for one's own organization.
Event Atmosphere and Experience
The personal atmosphere in the rooms of zarinfar GmbH creates the right setting for conversations on equal footing. Instead of anonymous lectures, participants can expect a compact networking evening with direct dialogue, professional orientation, and new contacts. The event planning combines knowledge transfer and encounters into a format particularly aimed at those responsible in family-friendly companies and HR professionals.
Conclusion: Experience Recruiting with Perspective
