When Professor Las Heras has visited us, in 2017, 2018, and 2019, she has been teaching – together with Prof Maria Jose Bosch- in several In-Company programs. Due to the success in those programs they have taught those programs have had a good number of editions.
Together with Professor Maria Jose Bosch, Professor Las Heras has developed research with more than 30 companies in Chile. Their research is a good example of the mission of ESE: to create efficient organizations while having a positive and lasting impact in society. With their research, Professor Bosch and Las Heras aim at advancing Work-Family in organizations, thus creating more humane environments that result in positive outcomes for employees and their families; for the organizations itself; and for society at large. As result of their research, now four companies (BCI; Walmart Chile; Transbank; and Vonderheide) are accredited “IFREI”, which is an accreditation given by the School giving witness to their good practices, leadership, and culture.
Professor Las Heras has coauthored more than 10 papers with Prof Bosch that are published in top tier journals, such as Journal of Vocational Behavior, Human Relations, and Journal of Business Research, to name a few. It is at the very heart of our university to develop and advance knowledge, and for that reason, her collaboration with the School and the University is also of upmost mutual interest.
The School and the University is proud to have Prof Las Heras as a regular visiting scholar, advancing research for Chile and helping the Work-Family Center directed by Prof Bosch to achieve its mission.
