Oliver Eckert verlässt Hubert Burda Media
Oliver Eckert, der Vorsitzende der Geschäftsführung (CEO) des Digitalpublishers BurdaForward und Geschäftsführer des BurdaVerlags, hat sich dazu entschieden, nach fast 15 Jahren das Kapitel Burda zu schließen und neue Herausforderungen anzunehmen.
FamilyForward: New initiative supports employees on parental leave
With the start of parental leave, the connection to the company is initially completely cut off. Only when you start again do you find out what has changed for the company during that time, but also for your own situation. BurdaForward wants to change exactly that. The "FamilyForward" initiative is aimed specifically at employees who are leaving their jobs for a certain period of time for family reasons. Tanja zu Waldeck, COO at BurdaForward, and Julia Deutsch, who works in Business Development, want to change exactly that. They have set themselves the task of paving the way for employees to re-enter the company in the best possible way through regular exchange formats.

Kids & Climate
At the end of the Bavarian summer vacations, BurdaForward once again held a Kids' Day this year. This popular event, which has been established for several years, gives kids playful insights into the working world of their parents - and at the same time eases the balancing act between family and career on the last day of the vacations.

BurdaForward Care Day: Be strong and find help
After two years of pandemic, we are again facing emotions like overwhelm and helplessness because of the Putin war against Ukraine. Once again, many people feel fear and are looking for answers to something that you can't understand yourself. That's why we initiated Care Day on our brands like FOCUS Online, BUNTE.de, CHIP.de and FIT FOR FUN. Throughout the day, experts provide psychological classification and concrete assistance on how we can nevertheless manage our everyday tasks.
Alina Bähr takes over as editor-in-chief of BUNTE.de
Alina Bähr (34) is to become the new editor-in-chief of BUNTE.de. From October 15, 2021, Bähr will be responsible for the further development of the people portal, which is housed under the umbrella of digital publisher BurdaForward. Born in Berlin, she has previously held various positions at BurdaForward, including Deputy Head of News and Head of Entertainment at FOCUS Online.
BurdaForward celebrates hybrid & decentralized
Corona-compliant celebration is possible! If you want to maintain togetherness in pandemic times, creativity is called for. After about 18 months of almost exclusively virtual encounters at BurdaForward, we came together again for a unique summer party - not only online, but also live at seven different event locations.
Why self-tests should be part of everyday office life
This week, the decision was made: companies are now obliged to offer their employees Corona tests at least once a week. The procedure, which is a challenge for many companies, has been part of everyday life at BurdaForward for weeks - a good occasion to share experiences and motivate people to take this step.
BurdaForward strengthens its position as a digital publisher
With a reach of 45 million unique users and 33 million magazine readers per month, Hubert Burda Media is one of the largest providers of journalistic content in Germany. Together, Burda Media reaches almost 75 percent of the German population aged 16 and over.
KidsForward: How parents support each other in the Corona period
For many parents, childcare and work at the same time is an immense challenge in times of the permanent home office. At BurdaForward it soon became clear: we not only have to show understanding for this exceptional situation, but also support it.
Constructively through the crisis
In April BurdaForward reached more than 41 million unique users for the second time in a row - that is two thirds of all German online users. With the highest-reach news service FOCUS Online and a strong platform of user-centred special interest portals, we are supporting the corona crisis with reliable reporting.
How virtual meetings work better
Just under two weeks ago, all of BurdaForward was relocated from our offices in Germany and Italy to several 100 small home offices in order to protect colleagues from infection with the corona virus and prevent it from spreading. This measure came as no surprise, and yet a few challenges lurk in the home office - such as holding meetings.
80th birthday of Hubert Burda in Munich

Around 200 students spent a day in Munich learning about the world of bits and bytes. They were guided by the Hamburg Hacker School and forty software developers from BurdaForward.
