to have an opportunity to, to get it right before we even start environmental activists. all of the rules fail billions to be made out to pascal commentary. deep the greed dots, june, 7th on the w. the ports us word means to you. is it something you enjoy and a source of satisfaction in your life? or is it more of a necessary evil or a way to earn money and pay the bills? and of course, help pay for all sorts of other things to when it comes to gen z are often accused of placing a priority on funding ledger activities rather than work. so is that actually true? let's check it out on this edition has made also

coming up. why many companies likes to bring workers from poland on board? what does it mean to be a night owl? which european country builds the most v bikes. and how in a i started up, found a new home in berlin. lazy lagging and resilience, but still looking for a big paycheck in germany, that's the cliche when it comes to gen z got in on the especially at our age i'm 20 personal development is important and that includes meeting up with friends having fun going to concert sunsets again, so how many of gnc fair in the workplace? so on the test, so that's for how you prefer not to work weekends and to no long hours overtime and the best part. time for every ality check. 20 year olds and works in an ad agency

where he's in charge of production. for me, it's not the money or pay that matters most to me, but how much i'm learning. got in the i know i did not go to university and i don't plan to send me an article. so i need a work environment where i can make mistakes and learn from them without it turning into a serious problem. feet up to the unpleasant homepage when the image feet on mine and kind of wanted us to come out. this boat is co workers are all gmc and so is this font. so how does he get the most out of his team? just always, i'm one of our fundamental values here is that we value honesty and transparency. suffice. we need to know what we're doing wrong, but also be able to address those problems as a team. but when gnc and simply the boss is not quite so flexible, that can be a problem. could you on the screen of i've had to fire people who are less than

reliable? is that when so far, this is kind of like an electrical apprentice who was consistently late, who will be in the general walk until the line is supposed to come to this email. he always came at $715.00, not at 7 am like the rest of the team just comes to the team to chrome. so and then he tried to argue his way out of it. like saying, well, i have great grades been to him, but they all kept. what was the question will be gmc doesn't want to sign their life away for a job and they want more from their jobs and their parents did events and wish split what they come to be sold will be able, don't want to be seen only as anonymous workers anymore on 20 or 30 years ago, companies could get away with bad, but now people want to be treated as individuals with the individual needs, the largest particular gen z. that means you have to explain to them what the job is about where working at the company really means best, best size to hold any in or that makes a side. in germany, gmc tends to be highly trained and educated and have many options and opportunities

. and given the labor shortage, they're also highly sought after as workers, which is a major boost to their confidence. and the moment, as soon as i start to feel that i'm not learning enough, it's not being challenged enough. how it's time to start looking for a new opportunity. i'm done as soon as else gets the most out of the solution. so how can companies retain sions, ease? one of the things we do differently here compared to a traditional workplace, is that we offer things like gym memberships and thinking this is lessons and cattle, regular team events once a year. yep. so that's a settlement from last year. we took the entire team of 25 p bye to maverick caching, and rented a small space there location. we had a 5 didn't work case on. there all is atanya. i was supposed to be in town. let me, let me find it wasn't, it was lesson of a situation as a bus doc, a team building last summer, more free time than their parents list,

pressure at work and open the door to opportunities. does germany's gmc have it made people own say we should be the happiest generation of all the like we've grown up with so many more privileges than our parents have, collections and i from but we're also facing the biggest challenges in a lot of my friends for example are practically paralyzed by all the many crises on our doorstep under the some by the climate crisis and delores globally and so on phones the house has a struggle with motivation and wondering if there's even a point to work and the career. i'm assuming what you've had shown calling georgia state has involved all that when jim z feels respected and values, they're motivated and resilient. they'll even work on the weekend. as long as it's the exception, rather than the rule motivated and affordable for many german companies like mula site,

siding and bush are looking at across the border to pull in these days. the country has lots of highly skilled workers, good infrastructure, and it's an e. u member states to crack out, for example, the m a and manufacturing company has invested some 200000000 euros and triple that's capacity. this truck is almost finished, one of up to 300, that rolls off m a ends production line and crack help poland every day. about 2 thirds of all the companies trucks worldwide are assembled. here. m a n is banking on the crack outside and has invested 200000000 euros and its expansion production meeting is underway. sean slovak is the plant manager here. he's from slovakia and is especially impressed with the polish colleagues language skills. most of them also speak german or

english, which helps a lot with day to day collaboration. but that's not the only reason why he likes working in poland. all bytes can assist in labor costs. here are lower than in germany. there's just no getting around that. that makes hiring new workers here quicker and easier. those are some of the major advantages on poland and draws investors and companies to come here. the engineer stefan hit and it was sent to crack hole from m a ends munich headquarters to get the new production line up and running together with his polish colleagues. he's noticed that when it comes to work, life balance work tends to take a higher priority here. lots of technic here are more willing to set their personal interest aside in favor of the company. that's the rule, not the exception of the uptake over time. for example, or working on the weekend, you don't have to ask for volunteers here and then people volunteer of their own

accord because they want to be voided and some 400 kilometers to the northeast and are going to file this, holding a team meeting, the polish interim manager works setting up sites for german companies here in poland. for current client is r, s p a mid sized company based in eastern germany. r s p has taken over the polish company, along with its skilled workforce and plans to manufacture vehicles here. when it comes to german investors, poland rolls out the red carpet for them. come on, you all regard. if you say, i'd like to have a real connection. yes, again, i'd like to have a road roster issue. i'd like electricity and a specific voltage or current during the you get it on the 50 off the whole and also offers tax incentives, affordable real estate, and less red tape at laguna defense, as germany could learn a lot from colon. she's also worked as a consultants for other german companies,

like volkswagen hines gloss and fair guides. how young i've been working non stop for 2 years, which comes out to bring when a power of i'll 2nd when one job and i started another one, it's on dusty. she all game. so it'd been and when this job is done, i've got another one lined up already. it's nice to have job security and dominion demand like that from your perspective, as the internal manager says that poland has several key strength, including a highly skilled and motivated workforce. the mentality is more collectivist and puts a higher priority on the needs of the team rather than the individual who decided also advise, as companies on intercultural issues, in dodge, some to sell in germany, work life and personal life are more separate. and for me, that's not the case here until now. you function is i buy one reason is that polish workers want to show the best side of themselves in the workplace,

and that makes them more highly motivated and he's on, you know, it says ip sec. i'm going to get back at me and, and crack out plant manager of ation on slope access and offers a lot of potential for growth and plans are already underway. isn't by then the get contemplating new projects and more investment and pull out to them. and it's not just m a n, it's also the volkswagen group in general. we have a plant instead of who will be changed, which manufacturers buses for m a n. so prospects are definitely good for the group . and the plants in pulling to that i can't pull them hobbin. poland is booming. and if this trend continues, it could become europe's growth champions. are you more of an early riser? that makes you a lark, an early bird, for you and night owl to works into the night and goes to bed very late. to birds,

to body clucks, and any number of cliches, watson, noisy towels. everyone's asleep, apart from one night, towns with what come down life is a nice how is anything but easy in germany? the beds are actually in the minority. morning logs gets dropped around 7 am and go to sleep. it's about 11 at night nights. house go to sleep and much later, and guess how late to take that busy when everyone else is asleep. but does that mean then raising the idea that morning lock so more productive has been around for a long time. the early bird gets the 1st come, 1st served but nights house just as productive. it turns out it might be

trendy to go to the gym and then start walk before doing foot for a nice house. that's a nightmare. that's just not when they're at the back. the tired work has cost the gem and economy nearly 57000000000 us again in some professions critique can be dangerous. a pilot such and whose ties can cost nights working from home has made life easier for a nice house. and may be a quick now at the good help to the do you enjoy riding your bike to get from point a to point b? you're not alone every 2nd for bikes are sold around the world. that works out some more than 100. 30000000 bikes a year, 4 times more than in the 1970s. the market for e bikes especially as booming,

and europe's take a spike manufacturer might come as a surprise. it's portugal porchie goals, bike valley is all about high tech assembly line work. company to your manufacturer, 3100000 bikes a year. more than anywhere else in your model. in the 19 sixty's, the city of ad there was already a hub of portugal, spike industry, many companies manufactured parts for other international brands. somebody government pastors both, that is monica's while back then. portugal was still a sleepy place and rural areas. people generally travel by bike. so these 2 men loved their old bikes, their part of their own histories with, gotta move to this was my grandfather's who is a gardener. i mean, he carries choose with him. and something else. something special of 5 liter bottle of wine which you drink from all day to be able to do. the

old bike makers are long gone but portugal is still your biggest bicycle manufacturer. so there have been ups and downs along the way. we just move into the 1998 with china, discovered europe as a bicycle market, and the industry here started to languish. but then the you introduced an anti dumping tax. you have to help protect your spike industry. now we're back to 3100000 bicycles a year and zip one, c m 's. i say for 12. so let me know and see. let's just put in this company, manufacturer is around 1000 the bikes a day. many of the parts come from asia, but not all of them. a few kilometers down, there was another bike manufacturer. we done the supplies, the growing a bike market with aluminum crankshaft. and use a state of the art milling machines to build other complex parts. and as

a family owned company, meet on the place is a premium on being a good neighbor. but of course you're welcome to you. you purchased the competitive, we have to offer good bike value here in portugal, people to meet and we help each other to induce this sector isn't all that big and working in collaboration is better than working alone. ever since, you know, about 60 companies have joined forces to set up their own testing lab. and they're also planning a joint research and development center for them. for the advice we're going to keep producing more and more components. and then there's a joint project we're currently developing, which is supported by the portuguese development funding, $48.00 different companies, universities and institutes are on board. and typically that collections myself and new companies are also sprouting up like bike apps. they're high tech and they're

filling nice has left over by the larger companies. so who are their customers? an employee of the companies who are looking for reliable, high quality quality, the companies with an average manufacturing volume of 121-0000 units. because of this new new brands, i put a premium on technology and all of us for means that they're going to see if there are other bike manufacturers elsewhere in europe, of course, but portrait goals, bike valley knows how to play to what strength. yeah, they've got one company had a problem with their frames which couldn't be solved in poland to them and they sent it to us because they knew we could solve the problem. and we zip it seems quiet, even sleepy here in bike valley. but appearances are deceiving, the economy is booming. about a 1000 people work for the bike companies and compared to other industries, their jobs are suff. tour. unemployment is low and companies make an effort to

appeal to workers. our employees, good friday afternoon, is off and have a longer weekend and my that really helps us with recruitment in my so the way that product it's a winning formula. bind valley is also drawing workers from south america these days from the size of it, as i love presented to improve our quality of life for to go here in portugal, my children get a good education feed, we have good food, healthy food, just a better quality of life overall thing, so wants to call it back to this. the of the the booming industry also offers fertile soil for start ups, like the one launched by jo on us of a drive and her brother to jago. they're looking to make a very special kind of bike made of bamboo. it's based on an idea joe, on us of and right brought back after working in china. and at 1st they knew very little about working with bamboo. so 3 years ago in the middle of cove and i

moved back to portugal and luckily our hometown is also where the bike valley is in portugal. so we could kind of absorb all the knowledge and as well tradition and some of the amazing brands that we also worked with to start creating something a bit different and to work with natural fibers to replace the usual material. it's a long road from idea to launch in your own bike brand. the bamboo bicycles company is now headquartered in this former holiday home. but this is just the beginning. now we start to have brought in the brands as well, using recyclable parts. they're starting to catch up or appearing, but they're all start tubs. they're all, you know, your case studies and, and projects. but i think there's still a lot of space to, to evolve. for tools,

bike valley is doing surprisingly well for itself. start ups like bamboo bicycles are taking off and bringing even more innovation and work to the region. a prelim has a reputation for being the european capital of cool. and in germany it's definitely the start of capital. there more than 3000 new companies here. some of them i've even made an international name for themselves, like the scooter companies here. these days berlin has drawn more and more international entrepreneur is looking to capitalize on a new idea. we met one of these founders this time from china. even though i know that every comfort kinda walser image or is to be deeply attached to their culture, but to be honest is another very easy. the

a hi, my name is tyler. i'm the phone or on. so you, obviously, i, so we provide a search foundation here and allowing businesses and developers to build multiple applications. so i g, i a car, so hopefully i full search but all model is not general problems. you can only use this model to do search. search your data search, you pictures, searching videos, audio service or for example, if you're thinking about e commerce companies, they have a lot of article fashion article data in their database. so each article has their prize name, description size. so for example, if you want to search for a picture, so firstly, as you need to pre label each image, if you ask the ai to do this, it becomes a very, very efficient, right? it takes up all that like 0 point one second, the

basically we provide all the models as a p i so that developers kind of coal all service other probably picks your one. we could do that make it work. but if your car, all a guy, and then we charge for it, right? so we've got a medium to use it in one second. so gene i was founded in 2020. and the reason that we choose to set our headquarter inverting jeremy, is because we want to build a international business that focused on commercial opens all software company. and those are plenty of patents. here is burdens in germany is at work on open sauce work only a engineering and also it is a pretty affordable savings price compared to other cities in europe and also a u. s. i think in germany a it has a pretty stable and the new troll business environment. i wish i lost the start off

to grow more in the autonomous way. so it doesn't gave a lot of help to the start off, let's say. but they also does a block you right? so it's kind of like, ok, so you're just self calmer. that yourself i'd be a here for like a quite a while. like 15 years so. so let's say culturally, i'm not 100 percent match to the local culture. vern, it's not our traditional in german cities. you don't have kind of a right don't mean any type of german culture here, which is also very nice, especially for international people to leave and work here. even though i know that every culture, it kinda wants their immigrants to be deeply attached to their culture. but to be honest, it's not the very easy it's not very easy to build friendship

like, you know, you'll cannot really easy the field phrase shape always a german and is affordable, much i'll phone more than other cities. and also very, let's say culturally, is to bear open because you'll see a lot of like, uh, uh, you know, international people here and uh, the culture is definitely wild. a most open, open culture in new york is not a cheap safety anymore. and they just are in china, in my home house. uh, it is called. it is very crowded, but at least the weather is kind of like, uh, you can kinda enjoy a lot of sunshine in the winter months, even though that burnout has a lot of like a local. uh, i'll send the 20th restaurant. but compared to what i say compared to us compared to china is still like, uh, uh,

it's still very basic. the are those on sparks like every, every morning i those i'm swimming off like i already got. i'm already on, you know, i've $6.00 oh $630.00 is and do is on swim you for a while hour or so. i'd like to just randomly draw a point on google map as a drive drive. yes. so this is what i do like most because 1st of all, i like to live even 5 years. i'm very fond. if i drive like a very nice guy can you know, drive to the song? i as i, i kinda, i kinda drive to the place where there are a lot of songs on it, even though it is a movie and call the drive belts. if the, if i drive far enough, i kind of laughed as a cloud certain work life balance is very important because that's, that, you know, as a sort of founder usually you cannot for the work life balance are the 1st place.

and so as you already like, cut off in the forest, all 5 in the in the least. so my suggestion to the, the officer a see you and the founders a is 1st off all work out of the real problem. don't create a problem as, as solve it. second suggestion is to prevent over hiring new circumstances. why don't higher, don't make the team bigger, is that you can manage the that. so for another edition of made, definitely use business magazine, a trip through berlin, portugal and poland, meeting people who are rethinking the world of work,

or maybe even found in your company themselves. all the while sending to their work life balance to see you next time. goodbye and take care the

finally, a job for jacob, it's the beginning of a new nice. her situation is a novelty and cost of those where it's media impossible for people with disabilities to find where jacob opportunity is, thanks to a non profit organization. these houses, and some of these supposing her whole feminine focus on europe in 30 minutes on d, w. and this week,
