episode 21: Tiina Bruno: Founder of Parentsmart Employers
Tiina Bruno is a Swedish mother of three, Change maker, economist, management consultant, author and international lecturer with over 20 years of work experience and founder of the Parentsmart Employers concept.
She is often referred to as a “norm breaker” for her way of daring to explore what companies and organizations actually mean with promises around inclusion, sustainable work life and work-life balance. Her pioneer initiatives challenge and develop traditional patterns in working life, promoting more concrete action to increase inclusion and social sustainability for all.
After research and launch of the Parentsmart Employers hand book in 2010 her perspective on the topic of working parents has received a lot of attention both in Sweden and abroad, mainly for using parenthood as a universal inclusion example relevant in all countries, with impact and benefits for all, not only parents.
Tiina has been invited to international conferences and arranges study visits to Swedish companies in cooperation with UN agencies and Embassies, as an expert in the area and with a strong belief in international exchange of experience.
The Parentsmart train-the-trainer model for global companies promotes the spread of best practice for all countries to develop faster and learn from each other. It shows employers potential impact to reach several Agenda 2030 goals.
