The future of work after COVID-19

Corona was a catalyst for many changes in the world of work. The corona exit restrictions spurred on what had been under discussion for many years: the end of compulsory attendance. Corona also proved to be a test bed for New Work and showed very clearly how steep the learning curve and adaptability of companies can be. The corporate culture and the attitude of managers was a decisive success factor in ensuring that physical isolation did not turn into social isolation and that teams could continue to work together.

“Corona is turning the world of work upside down. Compulsory attendance is disappearing, an empathetic management culture is becoming a real competitive advantage and a crisis-proof working culture is essential for survival. We cannot know what the future will look like after coronavirus - but that is precisely what gives us room for maneuver. The question is therefore much more exciting: isn't something completely new emerging right now?”
