Collaboration today takes place in a dynamic process in which physical, digital and hybrid forms of work alternate. Shaping the relationship between people, organisation and space in this context requires well thought-out answers and the active involvement of everyone involved. The purpose and benefits must be clearly recognisable for everyone and blockages and resistance must be taken seriously. An early alliance between office planners and HR managers is crucial.
Workplace strategists are able to better understand the needs of future users in changing working environments better and earlier than HR managers. This enables them to actively support change even before new working environments are introduced, involve employees in the process and prepare them for new work requirements and environments.
combine Managing Director Matthias Pietzcker discusses with Prof Dr Nicolas Bogs from Fresenius University, Axel Schörner, Head of Corporate Real Estate Management at the Serviceplan Group, and Manuel Stabenow, Head of Change at combine, how changes are accompanied and HR managers are involved in their design process at an early stage. Prime examples include the change projects for the Serviceplan Group’s House of Communications and Haspa’s new corporate headquarters.
