Future of Work
Businesses create framework conditions allowing people to mature in an increasingly digitized world.
Description
The digital transformation evokes disruptive changes within our working environment. Especially the transformation of work-related modes of collaboration and communication requires special attention.
Digitization pressures companies to realign the compatibility of working needs and business interests. Besides the provision of technical equipment, this adaptation requires a new culture of leadership and management addressing the shift towards new work. Moving beyond traditional management ideas, the future of work focuses on the well-being and motivation of people.
