About us
The easyfaM founders Heidi and Christian Eineder introduce modern management, agile and organization methods from the business world to the family world. As working parents of two sons, they provide valuable guidance for the "flow " of everyday family life with their easyfaM tools and coaching videos. The methods offer orientation, clarity and structure to children and parents. easyfaM is a lot of fun and gives "wow" moments. Routine processes that are fun for the whole family and also impart important basics for life - that is the philosophy of easyfaM.
The Founders
Heidi and Christian Eineder are parents of two sons, Luis and Leif. Heidis career has been the executive leadership role for lean management, lessons learnt and quality management in an international group. She has been working part-time, so that there is still time left for the family. Christian was the managing director of a school and laboratory furnisher group and knows the education systems and family situation in many countries. Since 2012 he has been a renowned speaker at international educational and family events in Europe, Asia and America, and fully fully focuses on easyfaM since mid of 2018.
"The two sons are the most wonderful present we got. For approximately 10 years, we hosted male and female Au Pairs from 10 different countries. We were soon facing problems with managing a bigger household besides kids and jobs. Therefore, we invented tools and boards with self-organizing automatisms, so that the time besides our careers was high-quality time, that we spend as a family."
History - The Making of...
"From our own needs, we first of all adapted the agile management methods for our family in a child-oriented and understandable way. This worked out great, relieved our workload, and was enthusiastically torn from our hands by our friends. The idea was born to support as many families as possible with the tools under the easyfaM brand", Christian Eineder describes the beginnings of the development of easyfaM.
Our message: Dear parents, you are not alone!
The easyfaM tools and videos contain many methods that relieve everyday family life, give children routine and give them cool playful techniques for life. Fairness, communication, motivation and fun are the main focus. easyfaM brings parents into the loving leadership role naturally: Leadership with a big shot of love is the motto.
More fairness - also in the manufacture of easyfaM® products
The ideas and prototype developments have been conducted with the Ravensburg product designer Stephan Leitl (designBOX, left picture) and the carpenter Kurt Buhmann (Buhmann GmbH, Wangen, right picture). Their great input has been put into series production since August 2018. Bamboo is the main material. It is a fast-growing, ecologically reasonable raw material that has a beautiful look and feel and is perfect for the products. In addition, easyfaM attaches great importance to plastic-free packaging in order to protect the environment.
Fair cooperation plays a decisive role in production conditions as well. Christian Eineder searched internationally for suitable manufacturers, compared conditions worldwide with personal audits. "Domestic manufacturers or, for example, the Lebenshilfe Werkstätten were right at the top of our partner list. The challenge is to offer easyfaM products at a price that every family can afford well and willingly, while guaranteeing top product quality under fair working conditions," explains Christian Eineder.
He followed a recommendation from a toy manufacturer friend and audited a Chinese production site: "Very well process-controlled production, good daylight everywhere, extraction systems and mouthguards where lacquers are used, multiple quality controls, etc.". The materials are tested by a well-known laboratory, and they are free of toxins and heavy metals. We are very happy to have found this experienced partner".
