New Work from the company's perspective
vahlen

At a time when the world of work is changing rapidly and traditional ways of working are being questioned more and more often, the concept of New Work is becoming increasingly important. However, the concept of what New Work actually is is also in a state of flux. This makes it all the more important to provide space for new ideas, new approaches and a platform for discussion. This is exactly what Vahlen Verlag is trying to do with its programme. With its authors, it has created a dynamic community that is constantly throwing new, often unusual, but always experienced and expert perspectives on the topic of New Work into the ring.

"New Work inevitably leads to entrepreneurial hypocrisy" is one of the theses from the book "The Real Book of Work" published by Vahlen Verlag. Author Christina Grubendorfer calls for New Work to be considered from the perspective of the company:

In the normatively charged context of New Work, companies find it difficult to articulate this necessity to their employees. This is because New Work demands that work becomes more people-friendly above all else, and everything else must be subordinate to this. This leads to companies trying to conceal their actual interests, namely making money. They feign New Work.

It is almost absurd that New Work appears to be the Holy Grail to greater entrepreneurial success for many companies. New Work has thus moved far away from its original idea and intention. And only a few companies that claim New Work for themselves know what the inventor, the Austrian-American social philosopher and anthropologist Frithjof Bergmann, was really talking about when he began his general criticism of our concept of work. If he had his way, companies as we know them today would no longer exist. New Work should help to disempower companies, to turn off the money tap, which would also be tantamount to their abolition.

New Work set out to serve higher purposes than successful corporate management; New Work wanted to change the logic of our working world. But our working world cannot be reliably changed either by appealing to individuals or by appealing to companies. If anything, politics and our legal system would be better delivery addresses for the New Work "movement". After all, laws can be used to influence the economy. However, it is not too surprising that the New Work providers have little or no recourse to these other functional systems of our society. After all, they themselves are also participants in the economic system and therefore also follow the medium of money.

In terms of its implementation, New Work has an open flank. And this has been readily exploited by creative minds who have come up with methods that companies should use to "introduce" New Work. But instead of transforming themselves into New Work organisations, the application of the methods themselves became an expression of New Work. However, the question of what a New Work organisation would actually look like still needs to be asked - there is a lot of room for interpretation here.

This is just an excerpt from "The Real Book of Work" and the book itself is just one of many works in the Vahlen Verlag programme. However, each individual contribution is a building block in the important discussion about how we want to shape our working world in the future.

Workplace reconciliation policy - the blueprint for successful organisational development
berfundfamilie
berufundfamilie

Remote work and customisable working time models - two of the offerings that are both attributed to New Work and represent measures to improve the compatibility of work, family and private life. In fact, New Work and a family and life-phase-conscious HR policy have a lot in common. Both overlap in terms of measures that lead to increased flexibility in working hours, work organisation and place of work. And they are siblings in spirit, because: Both pursue similar goals as epitomes of the modern and sustainable world of work. From the employees' point of view, these include, for example, greater personal freedom for employees - accompanied by a better work-life balance, more autonomous work and an increase in purpose. Employers use New Work and their commitment to work-life balance to develop as an organisation, increase their employer attractiveness and fulfil their social responsibility, among other things.

But are measures such as those mentioned above enough to achieve these goals? Clearly more is needed, namely a corresponding culture that is actually put into practice. And this is where New Work can learn a lot from a corporate work-life balance policy - both in terms of strategic design and how to avoid succumbing to the lurking dangers.

The be-all and end-all is a systematic structure. Family and life-phase-conscious personnel policy means, on the one hand, structure and, on the other, an ongoing process that corresponds to the degree of development of the respective employer. The berufundfamilie audit shows how both can be guaranteed. In the audit, the procedure includes a survey of the status quo, a needs analysis based on this and the determination of the company's specific development potential - and this at regular intervals, namely every three years. In addition, there is the definition of strategic objectives and, building on this, the development of specific goals and measures. This is where eight fields of action come into play: What needs-based solutions are needed for working hours, work organisation and place of work, i.e. at a strategic level for working conditions? What measures need to be taken to anchor work-life balance issues and shape a corresponding culture within the company? In other words, what needs to be done in the areas of management, information and communication as well as personnel development to ensure that work-life balance becomes a way of life? The berufundfamilie audit also looks at accompanying measures that can be assigned to the areas of additional financial benefits and services - such as emergency childcare or holiday childcare.

Sounds easier said than done - and it is. Systematically addressing work-life balance issues is always also an examination of social and technological developments and, not least, of individuals and our responsibility towards them. All of this must also be in line with the company's objectives. As with New Work issues, the extent to which digitalisation can support the desire for a better work-life balance needs to be clarified. At the same time, possible negative effects must be avoided. The opportunities of more self-determined working through working from home and flexible working hours must not be overshadowed by the risk of work-life blending.

Staying agile and cultivating a culture of error - that's what a family and life-phase-conscious HR policy does. Although it is important to set goals for the strategic anchoring and implementation of measures (for the next three years after an audit), framework conditions can change. For example, there is a restructuring in the organisation or fewer employees use the parent-child room than expected. So keep a watchful eye and make adjustments. The parent-child room can then also be converted into a creative space.

At the berufundfamilie Service GmbH stand, visitors to NEWWORKEVOLUTION can find out how a family- and life-phase-conscious HR policy is sustainably designed with the help of the berufundfamilie audit - which, incidentally, is currently held by 1,000 organisations - and what cultural effects and (business) benefits it has. We can be found in Hall 3, Stand B55 - directly opposite the Main Stage.

Our Managing Director Oliver Schmitz can also be experienced in a speaker slot: 05.06.2024, 14.00 - 14.20.

New Work Evolution:

In-depth discussions on the modern working world, exciting insights into practical implementation of new ideas and provocative questions all took centre stage at the first New Work Evolution at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center. Around 13,500 visitors headed to Karlsruhe to find out about new ways of working and learning at both the New Work Evolution and digital education convention LEARNTEC, which took place at the same time. Exhibitors and speakers agreed that while there is huge interest in the topic, there are varying opinions on the definition of New Work. For three days, New Work Evolution offered attendees the opportunity to share ideas and experiences, and learn from each other. Furthermore, exhibitors benefited from an open-minded audience of professionals from all over Germany who were specifically looking for New Work solutions.

"I am delighted that with New Work Evolution we have created a platform where companies can find and share inspiration around the megatrend New Work," says Britta Wirtz, Managing Director of Messe Karlsruhe. "The new trade fair perfectly showcased the advantages of Karlsruhe as a location, as it is a thriving economic hub with a high level of innovation, especially in digitalization. Equally important is the fact that many companies in the region are already pioneers in terms of modern working culture."

"Is this New Work or can it be removed?"

"Freedom, happiness, family, empathy, morality - these are the goals that move the young generation," said keynote speaker and Generation Z expert Felix Behm, who opened the three-day lecture programme of 40 speakers. If young people do not find these in a company, they quickly decide to change jobs, he said. As a result, there is a severe shortage of employees in many industries.

"Is this New Work or can it be removed?" was the question posed by keynote speaker Saskia Eversloh: Companies that have discovered New Work for themselves often only scratch the surface in order to conduct employer branding. In sectors such as public transport or healthcare, which are desperately seeking skilled workers, individual measures can lead to significant improvement. It is important to ask employees directly what they really need in order to work well, and then work collaboratively to implement the corresponding measures, according to Eversloh. Keynote speaker Dr. Lysander Weiß explained that extrinsic motivation such as salary or bonuses would be less likely to lead to long-term success than creative solutions designed to improve co-determination, appreciation, or meaningfulness of work. Julia Bühler, from smart Europe GmbH, commented: "I attended many presentations and gained a lot from the programme: good impulses and a great deal of input, simply to see what is possible, how others do it, where there is potential for the future and innovative new ways of working.”

New Work: Many paths to success

The exhibitors showcased their innovative strength in the field of modern working culture and demonstrated that companies can implement New Work on their premises by adjusting a number of parameters. A perfect match for the trade visitors, who stated in the visitor survey that they came to New Work Evolution to find inspiration (44 per cent), to learn about new products (41 per cent) and to get an overview of the topic, and further training (both 33 per cent). Like Kyra Kafunke, from Deutsche Glasfaser: "We want to learn about new methods and ways of thinking to see what we can implement at our company to continually optimise our strategies."

The exhibitors confirmed the attendees' interest in a new work environment: Nehru Papic, Regional Sales Manager at Bachmann: "We are more than satisfied with the trade show experience. We had such a large crowd that we couldn't even take a breath at times. We were surprised by the audience and the quality of the conversations." Simone Lafargue, founder and CEO of Amaze Growth from Stuttgart, was not only happy about promising leads, but also about the location of the trade fair: "I think it's great that this format is emerging here in southern Germany." "I would say the New Work Evolution has arrived in Karlsruhe to stay," added Frank Skrzypczyk, managing director of Improdo, at whose booth visitors were able to immerse themselves (almost) in their office of the future via VR glasses. "The audience listened attentively, lingered and, as a result, we were able to have long and good conversations."

In the area of consulting and coaching, companies such as Return on Meaning and Work4Purpose explained their strategies for helping companies reshape their culture, structure and mindset in a comprehensive transformation process. Testing and trying things out for yourself was also the order of the day, for example in the workshops at the Drees & Sommer stand and in Framery's state-of-the-art office cubicles. At their joint stand, Steelcase and feco-feederle presented examples of how the office can become an oasis of well-being that combines individuality with functionality. Gabriele Künzig-Hoffmann, Sales Manager at feco: "We were able to have several high-quality conversations, with many getting deeply into the topic and very interested in New Work." And the exhibitors were able to convince with their content too: Around one-third of the visitors stated in the survey that they would close a deal after the trade show.

Synergieeffekte zwischen New Work Evolution und LEARNTEC

Dass es eine gute Entscheidung war, New Work Evolution und LEARNTEC aufgrund ihrer thematischen Nähe parallel durchzuführen, zeigte sich auch am großen Interesse der LEARNTEC-Besuchenden an den neuen Arbeitswelten: Fast 40 Prozent von ihnen gaben an, die neue Messe und das vielfältige Vortragsprogramm der New Work Evolution zu nutzen. Auch im kommenden Jahr wird die New Work Evolution vom 4. bis zum 6. Juni erneut gemeinsam mit der LEARNTEC an den Start gehen. Frank Roth, CEO der AppSphere AG, der die New Work Evolution 2018 als Kongress ins Leben gerufen hatte, und Frank Thieme, Director Market Area I, Messe Karlsruhe, freuten sich über den neuen Marktplatz für Lösungen rund um New Work: „Was ursprünglich als eintägiger Summit begann, ergänzt das Portfolio der Messe Karlsruhe nun als dreitägige Fachmesse mit Vortragsprogramm. Damit heben wir die Veranstaltung sprichwörtlich auf die nächste Evolutionsstufe und können der Relevanz des Themas optimal gerecht werden.“

Weitere Stimmen zur New Work Evolution:

Sven Mylius, Senior Manager, Drees & Sommer (Aussteller): „Die New Work Evolution bietet eine schöne Mischung aus Produktherstellern und Dienstleistern aus den verschiedensten Blickwinkeln der Arbeitswelt. Viele Besuchende hatten eine Vorstellung von New Work, und wenn sie von unserem Stand weggehen, haben sie dann eine völlig neue Vorstellung.“

Karsten Franz, New Work Scout, Work4Purpose (Aussteller): „Tolle Kontakte, aufgeschlossene Menschen, die sich positiv darüber äußern, dass sie auf der New Work Evolution auf angenehme Art und Weise angesprochen werden.

Ivo Hossnofsky, Area Sales Manager, Framery (Aussteller): „Wir hatten sehr gute Kontakte und Gespräche. Das Interesse an unserem Stand und am Thema New Work war groß. […] Manchmal mussten wir in die Tiefe gehen und das Thema erklären. Aber das ist gerade schön, weil man den Menschen ganz neue Einblicke verschaffen kann.“

Rolf Gerlach, Managing Director, Chairholder (Aussteller): „New Work ist für viele Firmen ein Thema, die nach Lösungen, Impulsen und Anregungen suchen. […] Die New Work Evolution ist ein guter Ort, um an einer zentralen Stelle von unterschiedlichen Kompetenzen Antworten zu bekommen.“

Duc Nguyen, emplify GmbH (Besucher): „Die Themen sind sehr relevant, wir sind von einem kleinen in ein größeres Büro umgezogen und finden hier Ideen, wie man die Arbeitsplatzgestaltung optimieren kann. Da wir dauerhaft im Home Office arbeiten dürfen, ist es auch wichtig, das Büro so zu gestalten, dass die Mitarbeiter gerne ins Büro kommen.“

Joy Lienert, Ärztekasse Genossenschaf (Besucherin): „Ich komme aus dem Bereich e-Learning und bin begeistert vom spannenden Angebot der Messe und der Vorträge.“

Steffen Grunert, procedes i-d (Besucher): „Wir haben hier bereits alte Kontakte wiedergefunden und uns mit neuen Kontakten vernetzt. Auch die Vorträge sind uns wichtig, das Thema New Work hat uns zur Messe gelockt.“

Experiencing the megatrend New Work at first hand

Companies today have to cope with the demands of a rapidly changing VUCA world (1). One reaction of many companies is to break up previous structures and working methods under the keyword "New Work" in order to be able to act faster and more flexibly. However, what exactly New Work means and whether the concept is at all suitable for all sectors and companies will be explained by experts at the new trade fair New Work Evolution from 23 to 25 May at Messe Karlsruhe.

According to the Future Report 2023, New Work is the current megatrend and expression of a new era in work (2). Appreciation and meaningful work are intended to attract and retain skilled workers and at the same time boost productivity. In Karlsruhe, exhibitors from all areas of New Work will use hands-on solutions, practical examples and individual advice to explain how people-centred and purposeful work can succeed. On the Main Stage, 26 speakers will provide information on the various aspects of New Work, from leadership culture and methodology to hardware and software.

On-site audit: Where does a company stand - and what needs to be done?

Exhibitor Venture.idea supports its clients' management in terms of strategy, innovation and organisation. The basis for the management consultancy based in Düsseldorf, Germany, is first to record the status quo of a company and thus to define gaps and the individual starting point for a transformation towards New Work. At the booth, the company offers, among other services, an individual New Work audit with an evaluation directly on site (Hall 3, Stand 3.E29). For Nils Cornelissen, founder of the Berlin consultancy Return on Meaning and also an exhibitor at the new exhibition, New Work is "first and foremost an attitude. It's about creating a workplace culture that promotes enthusiasm and renewal and thus enables people to do more of what they really want and can do." His company advises companies around transformation processes, talent management, culture change and leadership. At the trade fair, Return on Meaning will present, for example, mindfulness hacks for everyday work (Hall 3, Stand 3.C28).

New work culture needs new workspaces - and IT solutions

The experts from Drees & Sommer, leading European consulting, planning and project management company, will explain at their stand how the diversity of the modern working world - whether in the office, home office or further workplaces - and the corporate culture can be depicted in a functional and people-centred way in interior design (Hall 3, Stand 3.E10). New rooms for new work is also on the agenda of the joint stand of feco-feederle and Steelcase. The two companies will be on hand to provide information on which office types are suitable for which teams or work situations and what role design, acoustics or furniture play in a productive, feel-good atmosphere (Hall 3, Stand 3.D10). In order for the flexibilisation of the working world to succeed smoothly, collaborative IT tools are also needed - from desk and room occupancy in real time via control of the room climate in offices to data security. Among others, Bachmann GmbH will present corresponding solutions at its booth (Hall 3, Booth 3.D21).

Jennifer Laue is People Manager at Messe Karlsruhe. She says: "One size fits all does not work for New Work. Many paths can lead to a modern and improved work culture. That's what we learned at Messe Karlsruhe: About two years ago, we started to question and improve our structures in order to increase employee satisfaction, to develop team potential and to be able to react more quickly to the needs of the market. We are all the more pleased to be the organisers of the first New Work Evolution in exhibition format and to be able to bring many practical approaches to the tableau for visitors, both on the exhibitor and speaker side."

New Work Evolution: Lecture program shows versatile aspects of a modern working world

More and more companies are turning to New Work to remain competitive and to attract and retain employees in the long term. At New Work Evolution, the latest addition to Messe Karlsruhe's portfolio, representatives from management, HR development and training, as well as associations and institutions, can now find out which approaches to New Work have proven successful and what experiences others have already made along this path. A program of lectures with more than 15 top-class speakers will cover the entire spectrum of New Work - from new leadership models to digitalization and corporate culture.

Waste collection as best practice and Generation Z: Presentations show the scope of New Work

The opening lecture on the first day of the trade fair on the topic of New Work Generations will be given by Generation Z expert Felix Behm with the title "Kein Bock auf 08/15-Jobs - Was die Generation Z wirklich will!" (May 23, 2023, 10 a.m.). Companies need to ask themselves whether "their employees are just building a wall or a cathedral," Behm said. "Real sense of purpose means being part of the company instead of just a number. Companies that recognize this will have far fewer challenges in the future recruiting enough junior employees and keeping them in the company for the long term." Due to the employee market, Generation Z has the advantage that it can emphatically demand a corresponding culture of appreciation.

Also on the first day of the trade fair, the author and consultant for strategic communication, Saskia Eversloh will explain on the topic of New Work Stories that new forms of work are not only conceivable for classic office jobs. Thus, the title of her lecture is: "Success factor New Work - not only for white collar management: best practices from garbage collection to care services to mail order and DAX-30 companies." (May 23, 2023, 1 p.m.).

Dr. Dewi Schönbeck, Vice President Sales at Steelcase, will speak in the New Work Innovations thematic area (May 25, 12:30 p.m.). Keynote speaker in the fourth thematic block of the new trade fair, New Work Culture, is Lysander Weiß. The management consultant, author and lecturer will highlight opportunities for transformation in his presentation, "With Gentle Change to Radical Improvement: Greater Satisfaction and Productivity through an Optimal Work Environment" (May 23, 1:30 p.m.). Time will be provided after each presentation for attendees to ask questions and exchange ideas with the speakers.

Inform, network, educate around modern work culture

New Work Evolution, initially launched as southern Germany's leading congress for new working environments, is being held this year for the first time as an independent trade fair in parallel with LEARNTEC, Europe's largest event for digital learning in schools, universities and the workplace, in Karlsruhe. More than 20 exhibitors will show trade visitors their products and services for innovative working worlds and modern corporate culture. The spectrum ranges from management consultancies such as Drees & Sommer and New Work Scouts such as Karsten Franz to office furnishers such as feco-feederle and Steelcase. Visitors can also find inspiration and user-specific solutions in the area of IT, a key component of modern, collaborative work environments, with exhibitors such as AppSphere and Bachmann.

"New Work is never a one-size-fits-all approach: what has worked well for one company and led to more agility, short decision-making paths and greater employee satisfaction would perhaps have the opposite effect for another. This makes it all the more important that everyone who is interested in New Work and wants to initiate a change process in your company has the opportunity to inform themselves, exchange ideas and make new contacts. And that's exactly what New Work Evolution offers as the first trade fair of this scope," says René Naumenn, Senior Project Manager at Messe Karlsruhe.

Innovative new exhibition dedicated to modern working environments
LEGO Serious Play at New Work Evolution

The world of work is undergoing seismic and far-reaching changes, with emerging work concepts and technologies becoming the new normal. From 23 to 25 May 2023, Messe Karlsruhe will be hosting New Work Evolution, which will run in parallel with LEARNTEC, Europe's largest event for digital learning at school, university, and work. Around 30 exhibitors from the New Work sector will be showcasing their products and services for innovative working environments, and modern corporate culture. The trade show will feature an exciting programme of lectures by experts on the topic of New Work, as well as numerous best-practice examples and networking opportunities.

The New Work Evolution, masterminded by AppSphere AG, has for many years been Southern Germany's leading congress on modern work concepts and corporate culture. Now it will be held as an exhibition and included in Messe Karlsruhe's own trade show portfolio, with AppSphere AG continuing to support the team with its content expertise as a member of the advisory board.

Logo New Work Evolution

"Digitalisation is changing the culture of cooperation within companies and institutions. As a result, a rethink of new working worlds is required, alongside ways in which the physical workplace can be redesigned," says Britta Wirtz, Managing Director of Messe Karlsruhe. "With New Work Evolution, we are creating a stage here in Karlsruhe, Europe's leading digital hub, for innovative ideas and solutions to further advance the structural change in our working world."

Spotlight on the future of work

During the three days of the exhibition, company decision-makers such as managing directors, HR managers, facility and infrastructure managers, IT managers, planners and consultants, can network and exchange ideas on the topic of New Work. At the same time, New Work Evolution offers exhibitors an ideal platform to showcase products and services from the New Work sector to a specialist and targeted audience.

Lego Serious Play at New Work Evolution

The exhibition will focus on four main themes, which will be reflected both spatially in the exhibition hall and through content in the lecture programme. The topic "New Work Stories", for example, will show best-practice examples from everyday working life, while "New Work Generations" will focus on different age groups and their individual needs, such as New Work working time models and potential benefits. Company culture and mindset in a New Work context are dealt with under the "New Work Culture" banner. And last but not least, "New Work Innovations" will highlight hardware, IT solutions and furniture that focus on people and their work.

New Work Evolution@xChange: Online teaser for the trade fair for new worlds of work

The online event xChange has been taking place since the beginning of 2021 in preparation for LEARNTEC - Europe's most important event for digital education - and is increasingly focussing on the topic of New Work. Just four months before NEW WORK EVOLUTION, which takes place alongside LEARNTEC, the free xChange programme and four top-class speakers will provide in-depth insights into the world of modern working. NEW WORK EVOLUTION will also feature exciting online presentations and discussion panels as part of xChange, covering the most popular topics in the field of New Work. Dive in live either from home or from the office and experience everything new about New Work on 31 January. Anyone interested can register free of charge at www.newworkevolution.de/en/xchange.

How companies can successfully counteract the shortage of skilled labour

The online presentations will focus on the areas of Technology, People & Culture, DE&I and Office. Participants include Jörg Staff, Alex Gessner and Corona Feederle.

Jörg Staff, Chairman of the German Society for Personnel Management (DGFP), will be speaking on 31 January from 10:25 to 10:40 a.m. on the topic of "The (R)evolution of work: Impulses & trends on the future of work that have determined the future viability of companies and HR in this decade".

Alex Gessner, Chief Operation Officer and Managing Director at ACI Consulting, will then take over and devote herself entirely to the area of DE&I.
