Julia Neuen, CEO und Gründerin von peaches, ist in dieser SAATKORN Podcast Episode zu Gast.

„Es ist manchmal total egal, ob du bei Lidl an der Kasse sitzt oder bei Burda im Vorstand bist – wir Frauen durchlaufen dieselben Lebensphasen.“ 💬 so Julia in unserem Talk. Unter anderem haben wir über folgende Themen gesprochen:

✅ Female Lifecycle Management als Business-Case: Julia erklärt, wie Peaches Unternehmen hilft, frauen- und familienfreundlicher zu werden – mit einer datenbasierten Beratung, die echte Veränderung auf allen Hierarchieebenen bringt.

✅ Benefits-Plattform für Tabuthemen: Von Kinderwunsch über Wechseljahre bis Pflege: Peaches deckt mit digitalen Sprechstunden und Onlinekursen sensible Lebensphasen ab – und das nicht nur für Frauen!

✅ Skandinavien als Vorbild: Julia nimmt uns mit auf eine inspirierende Reise zu mehr Chancengleichheit – durch Strukturen, die in Ländern wie Schweden längst Standard sind und auch hier funktionieren könnten.

🫢 Was mich im Talk überrascht hat: Julia ist ursprünglich Tierpsychologin und Stewardess – und hat das erste Unternehmen quasi als Selbstexperiment für ihre beste Freundin gegründet. Heute führt sie mit Peaches ein erfolgreiches, gebootstrapptes Remote-Startup mit über 20 Mitarbeitenden und 40 medizinischen Expert:innen. What a journey!

🎧 Reinhören lohnt sich - viel Spaß mit Julia Neuen!

Addiction in the workplace is often a silent issue. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast host Chris Howard and guest, Dr. Georges Petitjean, Clinical Director at Inclusion, cut through the taboo to reveal why HR leaders can’t afford to ignore it.  

Georges explains that addiction is as a spectrum, from low-risk use, on one end, to compulsive behaviours continued despite harm, on the other. This not only includes well-known addictions but also caffeine, prescription medication, or even behavioural addictions such as gambling. All of these challenges have an impact on the employee’s personal life but also their work life, and as such should be a consideration for HR leaders. 

How can HR leaders effectively tackle addiction in the workplace?

For many, the title has a different meaning depending on the business and the requirements (the scope also differs depending on which ‘hat’ a CPO wears), often seen as just another corporate rebrand of HR.

It’s about creating the conditions where people thrive so organisations can perform at their best. She discusses with host Chris Howard that the modern CPO is embedded in the business, understanding its culture, and championing its people strategy at every level. 

How can CPOs drive business success through people-first leadership?
