3:29 am
innovation, for example, hooked i as a 40 year old, might learn more about digital innovation from a 16 year old. and they would from me to on as yep. and yeah, he says, today's employers need to understand that they have to compete for employees. not the other way around. i think it is nice to them because it's not about having a cool football table in saying that your company is like a startup alex. we're talking about issues like a quality in the organization. not appreciating workers lining work schedules with the realities of life at helping people develop. oh, coaching them and uncertain times herald way. employers and supervisors need opportunities for change, but we all do shortly. he didn't mention an endless fix, and i advise everyone to develop a respect for the course of their lives, if weeks and months go by when we're unhappy and we look out the window every day, wish we were somewhere else. and if things don't improve, then we owe it to ourselves to admit that this might be the wrong place for them we

the fashion, that's what we had on our phones to write on, and that's the link won't allow them. they're supposed to edit a presentation. the couples, employers are zera and dominique glutes based about 2000 kilometers away. and landau in western germany. they run a consultancy that helps companies adapt to digital working methods. they have regular video calls with great and yawn. yeah. session been great. unless you have more questions, we can start, i'm gonna do you have any special detours planned or will you head straight back against on direct to look. yeah. and on we're going to mount aetna. it was on her wish list for sicily when she mr. physically a talk my fingers crossed to get there safe and sound and have good weather. and at night kong, maintaining a regular job while traveling. yeah, for great n yawn, there's a constant switching between leisure and work. i'm contacting disinfect life. it's
3:32 am
comparable to the project work we did back at the large corporation. you went from meeting to meeting from topic to topic. i am came up. it's like that here, except you switch between your private and your business life and provide who owns i got f, clicking in on task, which the job is done. now they can get back to their original plan for the day climbing mount etna. i wish i was 44 and a half years ago. great. and i got engaged on kilimanjaro could've been much than we thought since we're in sicily. it'd be a shame to miss out on europe's highest active volcano. oh pasa and game best on. so never mind the weather. we're going up there. now. the frogs, andromeda, all from that, from where nearly at mount aetna and it's really starting to rain. it's crazy that i think so. you think you're going to sicily to get sun and beaches and we're here
3:33 am
in this down poor even though it's may, the weather refuses to follow the southern italian stereotype. the rain pours down at the cable car station at the foot of the mountain. and when they arrive at the top, there's another surprise, a snider knowing no, no in sicily crazy. there isn't much of a view to day. but the pair still has plenty of excitement on the horizon. this man has kept i think his ball, there's so much to look forward to croatia, albania, greece is longer now. yeah. is ellis island of roberts, of countries where we'll get a bit of sunshine and that will be the son of visit daughter. yeah. but the sun is shining on their employers in western germany. this is where zara and dominic lutes run their start up also from their home. all meetings are held
3:34 am
remotely. i did for them by and collaborating remotely with gretta and john works my team. and even when we say we'd like something back by a certain time, they let us know right away, whether they can do it or not. and half of the order happens in may. the companies founders also used to work as project managers. they to went looking for a new type of career. ah, dominic on a ham, dominique and i both have long corporate careers behind us when we just didn't feel comfortable in that environment. any more. and child decision making processes took a long time because those sorts of corporations are very political. can i get that? not only that, their old jobs required shifting locations and different working hours. that's no longer the case. you're fine by kind of fun, but about them. but matching your personal with your professional life is important
3:35 am
to us in that no, we're more than just consultants and business owners. we have personal lives, phone is enough. i'm a father and father and a lie. i bet the advantages of working from home, like flexibility and the comfort of being in their own space. also come with risks . as that to that ima, horace is not always easy to separate leisure and work off that you can't let work become an obsession. the danger is that everything is just a shot distance away. so instead of heading to the county to rest a bit more, you could find yourself back at the desk. i've dish. that's a common experience for many people who work from home. natalie over to as a labor law expert, switching between home and work means extra flexibility. but there are still laws to consider that it doesn't have hunting, ease of him will be got all the remote work during the pandemic has led to an expectation of work, life blending. but you might work for an hour, then take a lunch break, then do another hour's work,
3:36 am
and then an hour of child care on them. in terms of labor law, it's not easy. it's type question. there are standards for working hours and breaks before god. for example, the daily maximum working time of 8 hours with 11 hours of recitation woodside from national in 2019, just under 13 percent of the workforce worked from home in 2021. that number was 25 percent and more than half 56 percent would like a permanent entitlement to remote work. as often as an gazette student, even if there were a legal right to remote work, it wouldn't extend to every job. i can connor jobs that can be done at home, like nurse sales person or hair dresser and a legal cough, nursing home office for shifting. and if i quit, going to have to accept that there are differences in peoples, the ability to work remotely, a nuclear cat will be, it's all by, ah, bakeries are among the businesses offering little chance of remote work. they need
3:37 am
workers in the kitchen and selling to customers, but even so at this family run bakery in the christ, gao region of southwest germany, changes in the air to keep as great grandfather's business alive, owner steph. and leon, honda had to make big changes. so by the neighbor. so folks, let's start the power briefing thing. yeah. as good pub in a few important things to know. raphael, you're the boss of the day to day it's i was i wasn't looking baja as a mom. we have enough dough for now, but we'll have to get busy soon. is mother micks, my master baker. rafael spec is in charge to day instead of a manager delegating tasks. things are organized during the team meeting. everyone has their role as it is. so we got another order women to have him from for 25 party roles for saturday. get this, can you guys handle that jumps? it says stanford no more orders then that's on stan him. yes. otherwise we'll struggle the box little bit him up loud. this is how new work functions and a craft business like the bakery. the power briefing clarifies what needs to be
3:38 am
made and when everyone's on equal footing that makes coffee or spec, appreciate his workplace. it doesn't matter whether you're an apprentice or master baker. we try to keep everything on the same level. every one is addressed equally slight amazon useful. so the bakeries, recent success is a small miracle. stephan lay on hot took it over from his parents in 2009. and then he almost went out of business. now, i mean again, was he pretty much my own fault for not having a plan back then about how to take things forward. what did i say? he gave her old recipes and traditional banking methods left him in the read. that was the 1st problem. who's assigned him in unkind. we looked at what we offered, analyzed all the products and asked, are they worth making,
3:39 am
what have we done the math, right. and yet the answer was no. stephan loan hunt then took advanced training in french baking. today he offers sea salt for katya and french specialties. these new products bring in more customers and more sales than standard bread products. my boards wagner along that boise, it lead to getting noticed in the industry. people were saying, look, he's trained in french baking, he's become a bred somalia. he's remodeling his bakery. you can watch him work. i was word of mouth one that was really great on this slide really coil. leona wants an even bigger profile. that's why he regularly organize his photo shoots for instagram. mox hats off does social media for the bakery. he's been looking after it's channel for 2 years now to which does that assist bama of so social media helps many more
3:40 am
people see what's happening here. it's like the fact that things are hand made it, that it's a craft bakery back leash on that just leads to much more appreciation. not a big problem for craft industries is that unfortunately they're under appreciated . it's so light of getting back in the black helped lay on hot solve the 2nd problem, poor pe, he had previously only been able to pay between $9.11 euros per hour. this elijah lights were well beyond that. now, as i'm sailing scale today, we start in sales at 12 or 1250 tick ah, and the bakery, it's 1350 or 14, depending on qualifications and by losing got. so that leaves the 3rd problem. staff shortages are due to unfavourable working hours for bakers. they own hot tackled that one together with his wife, stephanie. she revolutionized working hours on di. done? yes, leisha grain. i've put together the steps requested time tables. let's have a look. mrs. con mom and stephanie lay on hard introduced
3:41 am
a 4 day work week. the business is closed on monday and tuesday afternoons. there are flexible, weekly hours and staff can ask to work ships that suit them. this makes employees happy, but it also complicates planning as from such late a few as blocked up the weekend and then for people are on vacation from sunday and 3 before that or it's going to be really tight. i does this quiz dish now with unfortunately the system doesn't always work hello minutes long. this is skip me. i know you never get 100 percent satisfaction by because i didn't with all the back and forth and the balancing we tried to do, we can't meet every one's wishes. i live in the afternoon or what's perfect for one person might mean that another person has a shift when they'd rather not have one se. so go to my lawyer when i'm with my mind to my vaguely to and for sometimes you just have to make
3:42 am
a decision which can make you unpopular. that's life when you're the bus after school was i shift but the effort is worth it all. good. i co lovick has worked as a baker for 26 years, getting up around 3 am almost every day. at de leon hock bakery, he can start later. that isn't going to fully have met is a big advantage. i have more free time because i can stay awake longer in the evenings. it means a lot when you've been having to go to bed at 8 or 7 every night ever since i've been working here. i've been blossoming in my line of work. it's really a kind of rebirth night. what classes in my little, flexible working hours, social media less hierarchy. there's a lot that's new in this traditional business and lay on hot thinks there are more changes to come as a new new work is still a process here. no one knows where it'll take us next to. i'm always having to test the limits. you never know. yeah. sledge finance here.
3:43 am
your work is on far new work as a big promise that has materialized for many workers name on the home to help me younger companies. olive as who he represents the german trade union confederation . here at hamburg, museum of work, he's looking back at the hard struggle for shorter working hours and better working conditions, running rotary, print presses like these for example was tough and dirty. printers used to say that working for a newspaper which shorten your life as an actress, randi i what's been doing, i'm are sure working conditions were physically harder back then in terms of dirt, dust, and so on from that's why occupational health and safety laws came in in my management and labor came up with regulations say good, but i wouldn't say it's less stressful to day is hardest press laws. i was in the mid 19th century, working up to 80 hours a week was considered normal at the turn of the century. the 6 day week was
3:44 am
introduced, but they 10 hour day in 1918. the 8 hour day became the norm up. workers lived to the rhythm of their shifts. precise records were kept of when and how long they worked. this is not true, the star dish number was the punch clock from the factory with the office. that's history, fiesta. but the modern version of that time clock just looks different. template with the clock is no longer needed, but really it hasn't changed and it just looks different. all that noise on the policy to day working hours are shorter and workplaces are safer, but many workers still aren't doing well. the cup. i think the last on how many that's physical stress hasn't decreased in the last 20 years. it's consistently high, depending on the industry lies in boston. what's really worrying is the addition of mental illness caused by work. that's because the pressure and tension is so high in these jobs and whether it's office work or nursing order and a figure. the stress pushes many to their limits. and even beyond,
3:45 am
in 2020, 35 percent of surveyed workers experienced burn out. in 2021, the figure was even higher. 38 percent. something has to change. new work could be the blueprint for more productivity and satisfaction. that grew and gone through the thing it had thought as, as nickelodeon laurel. there are other factors besides pe, like development opportunities and stress factors. it's about how to navigate those things in a way that leads to work or satisfaction about mon remote work is a cornerstone of the new work model. but it still needs to be regulated by visiting their heart, ashanda 3 o. we already know that during the pandemic, there were nearly 900000000 hours of unpaid overtime, high drones and fear a lot of that was people working from home. you can arrange a work how you want to hearken, but that kind of complete flexibility. zation isn't healthy on his own. on their
3:46 am
own arrangements for flexible working hours aren't enough. as we're open to, we need new work men at the end of the day. it's about prosperity, productivity, and innovation shouldn't be for that. we need mines that are fresh, rested in tuned in her. we still have a long ways to go out. and domino's pizza too, greater than yon novel are now back from sicily. and they brought the rain with them there at greatest parents house near the dutch border and are preparing their mobile office for the next big adventure next up, southeastern europe. there that's at tongue is that the water tank is just one upgrade we've done here in germany. he and arch linquist will have an additional $25.00 leaders of water to use on board. i'm the viet unpacked vasa. i'm on bottom . the more than 3 months living and working on the road, taught them what they missed from home or over at the 50 slot. this is great,
