HAGER Executive Consulting: A modern and family-friendly employer

HAGER Career with a child

What were the motivations that ultimately led to your career at HAGER Executive Consulting?

I felt very welcome from the very first interview I had at HAGER. The whole process was very structured and always at eye level – that impressed me a lot. I also saw the opportunity for me personally to start my career with a successful and professional company.

How has your career developed at HAGER?

After completing my master’s degree in educational science with a focus on adult education/personnel/recruiting, I joined HAGER Executive Consulting as a consultant in 2014. In 2016 I was promoted to Senior Consultant and at the beginning of 2020 I continued my career with a promotion to my current management position. Here I lead a small team in the Software business unit and am responsible for the acquisition and support of long-standing existing customers as well as for the processing of mandates.

Maternity leave – how was the return to work?

My daughter was born in 2018. After a year of parental leave, I returned to my old environment and resumed my previous area of responsibility with slightly reduced hours. During my parental leave, I was in close contact and exchange with my team, the entire workforce and the management. After my return, I experienced a lot of flexibility and freedom at HAGER. Today, I am happy and proud to be able to balance both my child and my career in my role as a “working mom”.

Would you choose this path again?

Definitely. HAGER Executive Consulting offers me everything I could wish for as a mother who still wants to make a career start. Flexible working time models, attractive career opportunities, freedom and a lot of understanding for unplannable situations, such as when a child unexpectedly falls ill. I also find the really high level of appreciation at HAGER Executive Consulting to be unique and doesn’t let me doubt my path for a second.

What do you wish for your further personal career at HAGER Executive Consulting?

In my own role as a manager, I hope that I can offer as many colleagues as possible exactly the same opportunities and possibilities that I have experienced myself.
