Parenting Is Agile by Design
For Milena parenting has turned planning into an art form — and a daily lesson in flexibility.
“Sometimes you plan brilliantly; sometimes you just need to be agile,” she shared.
Her perspective on time management is both realistic and refreshing:
“You have to accept that everything happens quickly — both at work and in your private life. I think it's important to enjoy every little success.”At HARMAN, our culture recognizes that personal fulfillment and professional achievement can go hand in hand — even in the chaos.
Designing a Schedule That Works for You
Tania begins her day early — not just to get ahead of her inbox, but to make room for what matters most.
“I schedule important deliverables for the morning so I can give them my full attention. Then I take a break in the afternoon to spend quality time with my son,” she transparently says.
Thanks to HARMAN Flex, Tania can resume work later in the evening if needed — not out of obligation, but out of intention.
Work Smarter, Not Longer
George knows that time is now his most precious resource. Since becoming a father, George has traded in business trips for bedtime stories.
“I try to avoid working overtime, but when I need to, I wait until after my kid is asleep. That way, I can be fully present when he’s home,” he shares.
George’s approach reflects a broader trend at HARMAN: work-life integration that adapts to your life, not the other way around.
The Power of Flexibility
All three parents have something in common: they’ve redefined what success looks like — not by doing less, but by doing what matters most, when it matters most. Whether it’s shifting meeting times or skipping travel, they’ve adapted their professional rhythms to align with their personal values.
And they’re not alone. At HARMAN, flexibility isn’t a benefit — it’s a belief. A belief that great work doesn’t have to come at the expense of real life.
