Stay in conversation: New campaign promotes dialogue in difficult times

a new way to more dialogue in controversial times

(Berlin, September 05, 2024) In a world that is increasingly shaped by conflicts and polarizing opinions, the PME Family Service Group plans an important initiative with its campaign "Stay - Show" to bring employers and employees in more detail. In order to promote the dialogue even with insurmountable differences, the campaign will be officially launched on September 11, 2024.

In times of wars, social challenges such as migration, and heated debates on topics such as climate change or vaccinations, not only friends and families, but also teams within companies are faced with considerable pressure. Conflicts can heavily burden the working atmosphere and thus influence the mood in the entire organization.

The contribution to a better corporate culture

The campaign "Stay in conversation - show attitude" aims to give executives and employees tools in particular in order to remain steadfast in difficult conversations. Managing Director Alexa Ahmad explains: “It is an art to stay at eye level in exchange, even if you are not always of the same opinion.”

As part of this initiative, the PME Family Service Group offers a variety of formats, including:

• Specialist lectures by renowned experts such as psychologist Anne Otto and the philosopher Johannes Hartl.
• webinars and group coaching that offer space for open exchange.
• podcasts and articles with practical tips and food for thought.

A central element of the campaign are lectures on topics such as "Canceln Tolerance?", Which takes place on September 26, 2024. Hartl will analyze the importance of debate culture and offer strategies in order to keep a respectful attitude even in emotionally stressful conversations.

The need for dialogue in today's times

The concern of the campaign could not be more relevant. At a time when many people strive to defend their views, it is important to understand the perspectives of others. Anne Otto will present psychological approaches on October 14, 2024 in her lecture “Where does the hatred” come from to illuminate the origins of prejudices and hatred.

In addition, on September 30, 2024, a free webinar shows how targeted questions in critical conversations can lead to a better understanding. This type of dialogue is crucial to clarify misunderstandings and promote a tolerant culture.

a strong network for the future

With over 1,400 clients, the PME Family Service Group not only supports the compatibility of work and private life, but also offers a wide range of services in the field of psychological and social support. The EAP provider (Employee Assistance Program) has been active as a work-life pioneer since 1992 and ensures that professionals receive support in crisis situations.

The upcoming campaign is a step in the right direction to not only improve the work environment, but also to make social debates more constructive. Interested parties at the campaign can find more information on the associated website: https://www.familienservice.de/im-gläch-shie .

The value of communication and empathy in a polarized world is emphasized by such initiatives, and it is shown that the dialogue is also possible in controversial times.
