For years, we have been discussing the demands that a changing world places on (collaborative) work: It should be interdisciplinary, cross-team and cross-departmental, open and cooperative, and also agile with the courage to experiment. And we discuss how a working environment should be designed to make all of this possible. But we almost always only talk about office jobs, about supposedly creative professions. But what about people in production, hospitals and other areas? There too, knowledge sharing and collaboration are more important than ever. Do employees have the working environment they need? What can companies do? Every month, Personalmagazin, Germany’s most popular trade magazine for HR experts and managers, sheds light on trends, backgrounds and solutions for the new world of work. In a panel discussion with Giordana Doppstadt, Director Human Resources at Offshore Wind RWE, Jule Jankowski, consultant, author and host of the GOOD WORK podcast, and Dr Thomas Kreiter, Head of Human Resources, ÖBB-Infrastructure Group, Christoph Pause of Personalmagazin examines practical and visionary approaches to good work outside the office environment.
