Female Leaders Retreat by PeopleO: KUNO Supports Spaces for Strong Leadership

KUNO supports the Female Leaders Retreat by PeopleO, which will take place from May 13 to May 18, 2026, in Spain.

The retreat brings together women in leadership roles to intentionally step away from their daily work routines, exchange experiences, and gain new perspectives on leadership. Formats like this create space for reflection, shared learning, and personal development – aspects that often receive too little attention in the pace of everyday work.

About PeopleO

PeopleO works at the intersection of leadership, personal development, and the modern workplace.

At the core of their work is the question of how leadership can be practiced more consciously – with clarity about one’s role, impact, and responsibilities. PeopleO creates spaces where leaders can pause, broaden their perspective, and gain new impulses for their work.

A key part of this approach includes workshops, programs, and retreats that intentionally create distance from the operational day-to-day environment.

The Female Leaders Retreat

The Female Leaders Retreat is designed for women in leadership roles or those on the path toward leadership.

Over several days, participants come together in a small group setting to explore leadership topics more deeply while exchanging perspectives with other women in similar positions of responsibility.

The retreat focuses on topics such as:

  • reflecting on one’s own leadership role
  • exchanging experiences with other women leaders
  • gaining new perspectives on leadership and collaboration
  • stepping back from the pace of daily work

Retreat formats like this create a unique dynamic. They combine structured work on leadership topics with space for meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and shared learning.

The retreat will be primarily conducted in German, while still offering an international environment that encourages exchange and connection among participants.

Why KUNO Supports This Retreat

At KUNO, we work with organizations every day on HR and payroll topics and see firsthand how demanding leadership can be in today’s working environment.

Our claim is “Do what you love.”

For people in positions of responsibility to make thoughtful and sustainable decisions, it sometimes requires exactly that: a moment to pause, gain new perspectives, and exchange ideas with other leaders.

The Female Leaders Retreat creates precisely this kind of space.

That is why we are happy to support this format and contribute to creating an environment where women in leadership roles can learn together, reflect, and gain new inspiration for their work.

Calculating vacation entitlement: Key rules and practical examples

Vacation entitlement when regular working days change 

More and more employees change their working patterns during the course of the year. 

Typical examples include: 

  • moving from full-time to part-time work, or vice versa  
  • reducing the work week from five to four days  
  • increasing from three to five working days  
  • returning from parental leave  

In these situations, vacation entitlement should not simply be recalculated for the entire year. Instead, the entitlement should be assessed separately for each period. 

The purpose of this proportional approach is to ensure that employees are neither disadvantaged nor unfairly advantaged simply because the number of their regular working days changes during the year. Vacation entitlement should always reflect the employee's actual working pattern during each period. 

Example 

An employee works five days per week from January through June and four days per week from July through December. Employees working a five-day week receive 30 vacation days per year. 

In this case, a proportional calculation is appropriate: 

  • January to June: six months based on a five-day work week  
  • July to December: six months based on a four-day work week  

Vacation entitlement is calculated separately for each period using the applicable work schedule. 

These changes should always be documented carefully. It is equally important that HR, payroll, and managers all work from the same data to avoid inconsistencies between employment contracts, HR systems, payroll records, and vacation balances.

Why offsites are more than just a team event – and why shared time at work is often underestimated

Offsites do not solve problems – but they can strengthen teams

Of course, a team event does not replace good leadership, healthy processes, or a functioning company culture.

Offsites do not solve structural conflicts, nor do they automatically turn every team into a “perfect match.”

Still, they can create something that often gets lost in everyday work: closeness. Not in a private sense, but in a human one.

Especially in work environments that are increasingly digital, fast-paced, and heavily scheduled, shared time outside of daily operations has become both important and valuable for many teams.

Not as artificial teambuilding or because everyone suddenly needs to become best friends. But because collaboration often works better when people do not only encounter each other between meetings, tickets, and deadlines.

Sometimes, that alone can already be enough to noticeably strengthen a team in the long term.

Co-sourcing in HR & payroll teams: when capacity is temporarily missing but quality must remain consistent

Why co-sourcing matters for HR & payroll teams

For many HR teams, the main question is no longer whether external support is possible – but how to integrate it without creating loss of control or process disruption.

A team-based Co-Sourcing model provides:

  • operational stability during staffing gaps
  • retention of internal ownership and decision-making
  • protection against single-person dependency
  • predictable cost structures
  • flexible but structured operational support

Regardless of market conditions, qualified HR professionals remain key business-critical roles. Temporary reinforcement is therefore not a trend, but an established strategic approach to maintaining stability during transition periods without prematurely changing long-term structures.
