6:27 am
without having a clue what it really means to you. but i to ali mallow g as a 41 year old entrepreneur from vienna. he's tested out nearly every facet of the new work model. his start in the business world was far from smooth and they sort of us rule was terrible for me as well. it was just pressure. i was there because i had to be and then i had to learn things without anyone telling me why it ever have to know them. it was meaningless. the kid. after dropping out of high school, his future was bleak. but my load you was determined to succeed. he worked later, completing high school and then going to college at night. his career took off july . i t manage an am sagel. i was i t manager in a really big u. s. corporation with a child at $27.00. i was the youngest person in the role in europe and also ok. it's a great company, car, stock options, good salary. i always wore a black suit and red tie. i thought i'd made it and,
6:28 am
and then my father died suddenly in the last thing we had done was argue, flat. and the sudden loss of his father, coupled with the daily stress of being an i t manager was overwhelming. i took an off and i had a clear case of burnout that you see, i suddenly recognized the futility of my job won't thought i was incredibly lonely schwann, and i swore to myself that i booked somewhere where people didn't have to apologize for not being able to handle external pressures, so please don't call milo g saw a therapist and began working as a teacher. he noticed that a lot of young people don't know what to do after school. he founded an internet platform focused on careers. it was so successful that he was appointed e u ambassador for youth. new work means completely rethinking the system thus of us didn't. why that is what we usually talk about with new work or just the symptoms, the things we see. but it starts with an attitude that says, we don't need to work the way we've been working up to now. and as of when it comes
6:29 am
to 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 on as yep on. 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 to it's not about having a cool foosball table in same your company as like a startup ality. we're talking about issues like a quality in the organization, not appreciating workers, lining work schedules with the realities of life and helping people develop, coaching them and uncertain times, handled by employers and supervisors, need opportunities for change. but we all do charter hadn't mentioned 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 wishing 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 us. then we should move on in the jan suggestion, the suspect,
6:30 am
the facial. what's on done by the team. and that's exactly what greater and yon novel have done living and working as digital nomads. as they prepare to go for a drive, they get an email from their employer. like a one dominic sent me an email. it happened, yes to me to publish al chris bois moved to prison of him. they quickly get feedback on the presentation with marilyn with switzer cable, the size of a one are comments right away. i think they're common. what are for the plaza lesson still here, and let's drive to this town about 15 minutes away and see if we can get a coffee. yeah. then we can sit down and take a quick look all say, but i, and that's like, almost even quote unquote, professional good idea. great n yawn do what's known as trust based working hours around 15 hours a week. their employer is a management consultancy in germany. they decide went to work, but if they get assigned something, they start looking for a place with internet. oh wow. today their office is this cafe
6:31 am
death of 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 couple's employers are zora and dominique lutes, 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 onion. yeah, session, that's 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 the direct to look and on? we're going to mount aetna. it was on our wish list for sicily wish list. a for the key and i took my fingers crossed to get there safe and sound and have good weather been at night combed, maintaining a regular job well traveling. yeah, for great n yawn, there's a constant switching between leisure and work. i'm kind of in disinfect life. it's
6:32 am
comparable to the project work we did back at the large corporation. you went from meeting to meeting from topic to topic and came up. it's like that here except you switch between your private and your business. life mission kubat who owns i got applicant 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 beth and myself when we thought, since we're in sicily, it'd be a shame to miss out on europe's highest active volcano. oh pasa, again, best on. so never mind the weather. we're going up there. now. we frogs. i'm vulnerable enough. we're nearly at mt at 9. it's really starting to rain. it's crazy that i think that you think you're going to sicily to get sun and beaches. and we're here in this down poor
6:33 am
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. now this plan is kept. i think it's more, there's so much to look forward to croatia, albania, greece is longer. not yet is ellis island of roberts of countries where we'll get a bit of sunshine and that will pay the sun a visit daughter. yeah. but the sun is shining on their employers in western germany. this is where zara and dominic louis run their start up. also from their home,
6:34 am
all meetings are held remotely, and it was on my by mc collaborating remotely with gretta and john works my team 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 sha from the or that happens in the companies bounders also used to work as project managers. they to went looking for a new type of career. ah, dominic on his home, 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. tad idea that not only that, they're 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 to us in that no,
6:35 am
we're more than just consultants and business owners. we have personal lives, phone isn't a, i'm a father and father and elia. but 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 with 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. type tish, that's a common experience where 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 happened in years of him will be a guy 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, and then an hour of child care. in terms of labor law,
6:36 am
it's not easy. it's type question. there are standards for working hours and breaks for god. for example, the daily maximum working time of 8 hours with 11 hours of rest. it is a woodside finished on in 2019, just under 13 percent of the workforce worked from home in 2021. that number was 25 per cent 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 cut her jobs that can't 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 people's ability to work remotely. and nuclear cotton will be, it's all by, ah, bakeries are among the businesses offering little chance of remote work. they need workers in the kitchen and selling to customers. but even so at this family run
6:37 am
bakery in the christ gao region of southwest germany, changes in the air, to keep his great grandfather's business alive, owner steph, and lay on hot had to make big changes. so by the neighbor. so folks, let's start the power briefing thing. yeah, it's good pub in a few important things to know. raphael, you're the boss of the day to day it's i was how's it looking? baja as a mom. we have enough dough for now, but we'll have to get busy soon. is my the mix maha master baker. laugh i have spec isn't charged to day. instead of a manager delegating tasks, things are organized during the team meeting. everyone has their role as this is why we got another order women to have him from for 25 party roles for saturday. get this, can you guys handle that jumps? it's a standard for no more orders than it'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
6:38 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. everyone is addressed equally slight, almost longest, for design. the vagaries, recent success is a small miracle. stephane lay on hot, took it over from his parents in 2009, and then he almost went out of business. net, i mean again was he was 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 red. 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 what we have? we done the math, right?
6:39 am
and yet, the answer was no. stephanie, leon hunt then took advanced training in french baking. today he offers seesaw 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 and 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 organized his photo shoots for instagram. mox head, soc, does social media for the bakery. he's been looking after it's channel for 2 years . not to waste us. let us see boxing of so social media helps many more people see what's happening here. and so like the fact that things are hand made it,
6:40 am
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 scheduled today, we start in sales at 12 or 1250 tick, and the bakery. it's 1350 or 14, depending on qualifications. linda by lucy, got so and 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 done. done. yep. ha, crane. i've put together the steps requested time tables. let's have a look. mrs. con, mom stephanie lay on hot introduced
6:41 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 it'll wait a few as blocked off the weekend and then 4 people are on vacation from sunday and 3 before that or it's going to be really tight. i just vis was just now getting busy. unfortunately, the system doesn't always work. hello miss long. this is skip ne, i have 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. it's the so called my lawyer. when was my mind to my vaguely to and for sometimes you just have to make a decision which can make you unpopular. that's life when you're the bus after
6:42 am
school was i shave, but the effort is worth it all good. i core logic 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 . oh, that isn't good. the thought i 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. yep. it's since i've been working here, i've been blossoming in my line of work. it's really a kind of rebirth ladybug closet and 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 comp 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, i sledge. find your work with the zone. far new
6:43 am
work as a big promise that has a materialized for many workers name on the home to help me younger, chromos, or leave as though 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 a trish randi i what's been done marks. sure. working conditions were physically harder back then in terms of dirt, dust, and so on from from that's why occupational health and safety laws came in in my management and labor came up with the regulations say good, but i wouldn't say it's less stressful to day is hardest press life in the mid 19th century, working up to 80 hours a week was considered normal. at the turn of the century, the 60 week was introduced but a 10 hour day. in 1918,
6:44 am
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 traditional distemper. what else? the punch clock's on 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. it just looks different. all that noise on the policy to day working hours are shorter and work places 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,
6:45 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 can see the thing it had thought as his name or the and lord. and 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 wipers in their heart. ashanda 3 year old. we already know that during the pandemic there were nearly 900000000 hours of unpaid overtime, hydro ons 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 own arrangements for flexible working hours aren't enough. as we're open to,
6:46 am
we need new workmen at the end of the day. it's about prosperity, productivity and innovation. for that, we need mines that are fresh, rested in tuned in her. we still have a long ways to go up for now on dominant. it's a tool 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. that i thought tongue as that a 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 uncall foster. i'm on bottom. the more than 3 months living and working on the road, taught them what they missed from home all over the 50 slot. this is great with the water is already warm and there's good pressure. this is going to be good
6:47 am
because as the woman with long hair washing it while you're on the road isn't always easy. my gosh, i'm fuck. smooth day to day life is essential if they're going to work from their specially adapted s u v. after all, their business consultants working 2 days a week, no matter where they are. gone via someplace a d, v as it's my strokes and we've got sand ladders to put under the tires if they get stuck somewhere and we'll 1st find harms fittings on it. there's a roof box, we made ourselves with a solar panel on top. we are tom written, and we can use that to charge the su v's battery. okay. and as long as it's sunny law, as long as on a shines, they're living space amounts to just under 8 square meters. everything they need to live and work is on board and precisely accounted for, even down to the cutlery. so i got to flex 232 nights, just not stones. that's it. in his workshop. great. his father is making
