New Work: More than just home office

With the Corona crisis as an accelerator, new work models are now rapidly becoming established. At the heart of this research is the Trend Radar, which visualizes 13 key trends that serve as a guideline for companies in designing their new work environments.

Key Trends in New Work

• Flexibility: Employees expect more flexibility in terms of working hours, location, and tasks.
• Autonomy: Employees want to have more autonomy and self-determination in their work.
• Purpose: Employees want to work for companies that have a clear purpose and make a positive impact on the world.

In contrast, the term "New Work" focuses on the needs of employees. The New Work project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS), aims to identify and promote best practices in New Work.

Challenges of New Work

• Cultural change: New Work requires a fundamental shift in corporate culture, away from rigid hierarchies and towards more flexible and employee-centric structures.
• Technology: New Work relies heavily on technology to enable remote work, collaboration, and communication.
• Leadership: Leaders play a crucial role in creating a supportive and empowering environment for New Work.
