Our working world is changing: processes are becoming increasingly digital and hybrid, location-independent working is becoming increasingly commonplace. As a result, the new working world – the New Normal – also requires a different working infrastructure. The need for flexibly usable workspaces must be considered, as must the different working needs, forms, and locations of […]

In our digitalized working world, we have achieved unprecedented productivity thanks to state-of-the-art technologies.

If companies today decide to comprehensively change their working environment, professional change management is always of central importance. Because on the way to New Work, it is not just the working environment that is changing.

The world of work is in a state of permanent change. And the pandemic has accelerated this change: Employees did not come to the office for months; home has become the office and digital meetings have become a matter of course. Many have become accustomed to more self-determination but miss the creative exchange with the team.

A hybrid working world is our new normal. It demands a rethinking of familiar working methods and locations. In addition to the spatial aspects, companies are also concerned with how hybrid collaboration can function successfully.

More than two years of the Corona crisis and home office have changed people - given them more freedom and self-determination. That can no longer be undone. That's why it's now high time to look at the "New Normal".

What was the exception for a long time is now compulsory. Since Corona, collaboration has taken place virtually. So, it's only a temporary issue? We are sure: the topic of home office and collaboration via tools such as Skype, Teams or Zoom will remain topical even after Corona. After all, despite all the challenges, many companies and employees have also discovered the advantages of this working model. Not only as an efficient way for employees to work, but also as a good option for business meetings. Today, we would like to send you a few simple, tried and tested tips on how you can make virtual collaboration motivating and productive.

How are workplace requirements changing due to issues such as pandemics, mobility and sustainability? And how can workingwell experts add value for real estate developers? An interview with Ernst Thriene, responsible for leasing the White Quarter in Munich. 

Parents are superheroes - especially in times of Corona. Because especially for parents with younger school children and single parents, the current situation is a huge challenge. In the home office with children, many are now more or less successfully juggling online meetings, homework, household chores and the 24-hour care of their children. In many cases, what remains in the evening is total exhaustion and the uneasy feeling of not having achieved enough.

Will home office soon be a universal right for all? It sure seems like we are evolving in this direction. However, one crucial question remains: “What does it actually mean for companies, employees and supervisors?”. No matter with whom I talk about this, everyone has their own idea of what their office should look like and what home office can mean. A common theme is that it’s about working outside of the office, replaying the fixed workstation with a desk at home, the co-working space in the neighbourhood, or a spot in the coffee shop around the corner.

When we think of New Work, most of us picture a 20-something in a lounge chair, effortlessly balancing laptop and latte, engaged in a lively conversation at the company café. Alternatively, a foosball-setting comes to mind, loosened ties, an echo of laughter, and a hint of carefreeness in the air. Yet, despite these glossy stock-photo images, recent studies show that a staggering 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged or actively disengaged at work (Gallup).

Much has been said about keeping Millennials engaged at work:  countless articles have been written about the characteristics of this supposed self-focused generation. Now that they have finally settled into the workplace, the next generation, Generation Z, is set to enter the work force.
