It almost seems as if the term “New Work” is popping up everywhere you’d least expect. In sometimes rigid organizations and institutions that still seek their happiness in small group and individual offices and are occasionally unwilling to let go. However, it is precisely about creating work concepts and environments that benefit both employees and the company on many levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Letting go is an important element in giving new or existing cultures the right space. Therefore, it is crucial that New Work projects are driven by the right intention of those responsible and stakeholders. Simply creating attractive office environments that incorporate chic office furniture into an appealing office design<\/strong> is not enough today. Above all, it’s about seizing the opportunity to enable a profound benefit for the organization and people’s quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If New Work is seen merely as an image measure, there is a danger that the office will become a movie set. It may be nice to look at, and you may even find ergonomic office swivel chairs at height-adjustable desks, but the extended benefits for the organization and its co-creators are missing. Such a superficial approach quickly leads to a lack of actual value creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to achieve sustainable change in the context of New Work, it is important to have an appropriate human resources policy and a high level of trust in employees. Employees must find a company culture that allows for development and does not bring personal goals into conflict with the company’s goals. The trick is to give people the space in which they can develop and be motivated to pursue the company’s goals. Control decreases, and personal responsibility increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To successfully manage the process toward a sustainable New Work Office, we recommend working with external consultants and experts. These can specifically address communication and conference requirements. It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about spontaneous communication zones and lounges with sofas and alcoves or the classic square or oval meeting table in a closed room system. Our network of consultants offers support to facilitate the implementation of the decisions made. From analyzing the current situation to accompanying the change and architecture process, they will provide valuable insights and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Work is much more than a beautiful office world with design-strong office furniture, ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks. It is about creating positive change that offers real added value for both the company and the employees. The right intention, appropriate HR policies and a high level of trust are critical to enabling sustainable change. Before change begins, the New Work readiness of the organization must be assessed. Then a New Work Office can become a place of value creation and development, which incidentally also fits surprisingly well with the company and its value creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe danger of superficial implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
