8:27 pm
about him on you work new work is like digitalization. everyone talks about it without having a clue what it really means to just the thought that ali malati 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 the shorter the floor was terrible for me as well. it was just pressure. i was there because i had to be in and i had to learn things without any one telling me why it ever had 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 many channels saddles. i was i t manager in a really big u. s. corporation with a child at 27, i was the youngest person in the role in europe and also acts great company, car, stock options, good salary there, shall i always wore
8:28 pm
a black suit and red tie. i thought i'd made it and then my father died suddenly. and the last thing we had done was argue, flats. the sudden loss of his father, coupled with the daily stress of being an i t manager was overwhelming. i had an and i had a clear case of burnout hook. you see, i suddenly recognized the futility of my job won't thought i was incredibly lonely swan. and i swore to myself that i've worked somewhere where people didn't have to apologize for not being able to handle external pressures. took me so we didn't connect milan, she 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 found in 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 when it comes to
8:29 pm
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 i, 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. it's not about having a cool foosball table in saying that your company is like a startup. what 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, hold coaching them and uncertain times, handled by employers and supervisors, need opportunities for change. but we all do charter, 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 us then

8:32 pm
it's 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 vision provider 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 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 for fun. we're nearly at mt at 9. it's really starting to rain. it's crazy that i think so. you think you're going
8:33 pm
to sicily to get sun and beaches? and we're here in this down poor. yeah. even though it's may, the weather fuses 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 has kept, i think it's more, 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 looks run their start up also from their home. all meetings are held
8:34 pm
remotely, and it was on my by a mac 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 the companies bounders also used to work as project managers. they to went looking for a new type of career. ah, dominic on a ham, dominic and i both have long corporate careers behind us when we just didn't feel comfortable in that environment. any more and chat of decision making processes took a long time because those sorts of corporations are very political. can i get 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
8:35 pm
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 lawyer, 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 hyped ish. 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 hours work,
8:36 pm
and then an hour of child care. 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 rest. it is a 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't be done at home, like nurse sales person or hair dresser, and a legal cough name 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 its, ah, by ah, bakeries are among the businesses offering little chance of remote work. they need
8:37 pm
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 his 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, escape pod, 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. some of the mix maha 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 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 says stanford. no more orders than 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
8:38 pm
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. 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,
8:39 pm

8:40 pm
people see what's happening here. and so 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 doc. the 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 stealing scattered today, we start in sales at 12 or 1250 tick ah, and the bakery, it's 1350 or 14, depending on qualifications and by looking at 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 done. done yes, leisha grain. i've put together the steps requested time tables. let's have a look. mrs. con mom stephanie leon han introduced

8:42 pm
a decision which can make you unpopular. that's life when you're the bus after 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 . that isn't go, 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 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 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,
8:43 pm
finance 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 chromos, ali wazoo. 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, mark, 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 laws. i was in the mid 19th century, working up to 80 hours a week was considered normal. at the turn of the century,
8:44 pm
the 60 week was 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 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 house it to day working hours are shorter and work places are safer that many workers still aren't doing well. the cup i didn't molest on how many that's physical stress hasn't decreased in the last 20 years. it's consistently high depending on the industry, height and bust. that's 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 is order and a figure. the stress pushes many to their limits, and even beyond,
8:45 pm
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 us, his name or the and loyal. 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. why was 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
