Spotlight on Success
Komunikační aktivity jsou pro Tomáše Vargu denním chlebem

"Diversity in the workplace brings great ideas and often a WOW effect," sums up Tomáš Varga, CEO of a multinational communications group

Tomáš Varga's professional career is mainly connected with the field of communication and advertising. He is currently the CEO of Publicis Groupe, a multinational communications group for Central Europe, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. In his experience, is there any need to differentiate the way of communication with regard to these specific markets? Why is promoting diversity in the workplace a clear advantage for any company? And why should communication agencies also "raise" socially important issues?

"Thanks to therapy, I now know I'm not a workaholic. When I have a creative block, I let my subconscious work," says the awareness expert

In his native Moravia, he graduated from a veterinary school, but the profession of "nurse" seemed undervalued to him, so Michal Večeřa set off for the Prague gastro scene. His work as a waiter and bartender turned out to be quite a milestone in his career. Not only did he meet Lenka Hájková, his best friend and future business partner, but later, as a hotel manager, he also got a taste for creative promotional work. For the next ten years, he gained experience in various editorial offices and PR agencies - and after ten years, he and Lenka were reunited as a team. The two agency employees, who were "grumbling" together that they could manage projects better than their bosses, eventually became co-owners of ADDICTS PUBLIC RELATIONS and experts in outreach communication that is "healthily addictive".
K práci v PR se Michal Večeřa dostal přes zkušenosti v médiích. V redakcích začínal jako produkční, poté psal pro Hospodářské noviny, deník Metro, a dokonce i pro LUI

Replenishing energy, reducing stress and looking fresh - everyone who is under the pressure of autumn work will appreciate this. How to do it?

Although this summer was really tropical, the transition to the cooler autumn season was so fast that we almost immediately exchanged our swimsuits for coats. And just as we've had to adapt our clothing to the changing weather, the same goes for our overall body and skin care. So it's a good thing that effective aids can be used to maintain full performance in the face of a host of new, fall challenges. On the one hand, these can be dietary supplements aimed at supporting the functioning of the body, and on the other hand, products suitable for skin care...

LUI BUSINESS

About the project

LUI BUSINESS was created as an extension of LUI magazine to provide inspiration and insights on business that takes into account values such as diversity, inclusion and sustainability. We believe that diversity = prosperity. Not only is diversity the key to creative and innovative ideas, but it also contributes to better decisions and increased organizational performance. Companies that promote diversity and inclusion face the challenges of the modern world more effectively and create a thriving work environment where every individual voice counts and everyone can fully express who they are. 

At LUI, we build on the idea that diverse perspectives and life experiences bring a richness that cannot be replaced. Our goal is to foster an environment where everyone can feel respected and valued - not just in business, but in all aspects of life. That is why our projects always reflect the principles of openness, tolerance and fairness.

LUI BUSINESS is not just a magazine about business, but a platform where the stories of successful companies, innovative technologies and people who are changing the world for the better through their actions are intertwined. This project is also proof that it is the diversity of perspectives that leads to success, and that is why we are committed to building on it in the future.

Season Highlights

LUI HELP

Please support the non-profit organization ZIVOT90

Success and prosperity are certainly great goals, but their true value only becomes apparent when we can use them to benefit others. That's why, through LUI HELP, we'd like to encourage our readers to support LIFE90, an organization that cares for seniors, including LGBT+ ones. These people, who have often lived their lives at a time when society was not ready to accept their identity, can now face isolation, loneliness and lack of support. They are often cut off from family and friends as a result of long-standing social prejudices.

That is why it is important to offer help and support to those who face such difficulties in later life. LIFE90 creates a safe environment where these seniors can feel respected and safe. Every contribution or support from this organization can make a significant difference in the lives of people who have lived in the shadow of misunderstanding for most of their lives. Please join us in supporting this great project - not only for their dignified old age, but for a better society for us all.

The Art of Professional Elegance

Feuilleton...

Dear readers,

we are publishing the first issue of LUI BUSINESS with an idea that is very close to my heart. We want to inspire new generations of leaders and women leaders to not be afraid to be themselves, because that is how they can bring positive change to their communities and companies. We believe that the true power of an individual lies in their authenticity - it is when we are unafraid to show who we are that we can contribute the most to those around us.

Today, we often see attempts to divide society - especially by politicians. Personally, however, I am convinced that underneath all the aggression there is something much deeper: that which unites us all. We are first and foremost human beings, and this is a fundamental truth that we should not ignore. A society where respect for individuality prevails, where everyone feels accepted, is not just an ideal - it is a necessary way for all of us to survive and thrive as humanity.

Never before has humanity faced the almost unimaginable threat of the destruction of all life on Earth. Today we are no longer just "Czechs", "Americans" or "Russians". We are first and foremost a global community, connected on a level that history has never seen. And this is the moment when we must realize that the way to survival is through humanity, mutual respect and the effort to accept each other regardless of differences.

I hope that through this magazine we can open a space for discussion and inspiration that will encourage you to not be afraid to be yourself - not only for yourself, but for those around you.

With best wishes for success and openness,

LUI
