Debora Agelidu has laid the foundations for her family business: At the age of 57, confident, self-assured, with and for her son, the experienced REWE store manager set up her own business. For the Cologne native, self-employment is not a matter of courage, but of confidence in her own abilities as a senior manager. For example: organising and communicating. And who, according to Agelidu, can do that better than women?

REWE Süd Regional Manager Elisabeth Promberger emphasises the importance of supporting and encouraging women in their development. Characterised by team spirit and people who believed in her, the former competitive athlete is now passing this on. In this interview, she explains how mentoring can open doors - and why she prefers to ask questions rather than give advice.

In a male-dominated IT world, the example of REWE digital manager Wenke Weißmann shows how women can get ahead - with potential, visibility and good support.

With its current patronage of the Cologne-based alliance "With Women in Leadership" and the "Women to 1" initiative, REWE Group is sending a clear signal in favour of visibility, equal opportunities and modern leadership. In this interview, Daniela Büchel, Member of the Management Board for People, talks about why she believes that focussing on women in leadership is the decisive step towards strengthening them. She openly describes where REWE Group stands today - and why the 50:50 target has not yet been achieved despite progress. At the same time, she makes it clear that real change can only succeed if attitude, culture and the advancement of women are consistently considered together.

REWE Group is taking on the patronage of the Cologne alliance "Mit Frauen in Führung" (With Women in Leadership) - and is thus sending a clear signal in favour of more diversity in the workplace.

The multiple stresses of private and professional life often push women to their limits - and beyond. A discussion about the reasons, the signs and the support on offer for employees.

Women suffer from sleep disorders twice as often as men. This is shown by numerous scientific studies. The cliché of the snoring man at the side is often to blame. However, there are other causes - and fortunately also solutions.
