3:19 pm
that number rose to 37 percent. companies who want to retain staff now need to offer more than just money as good a mix on it's a mix of money, appreciation and opportunities for professional growth even for people in the simplest jobs, it's about money. sure. but it's also about recognition, appreciation and advancement was good thought of home. a lot is changing in this world of new work. there's a demand for flexible working hours. many want to be able to work remotely, instead of being forced to labor in an office. and there's a push for flat rather than top down hierarchies. hash, invent renita, vista, it's becoming less about hierarchy and more about abilities. know you're fond of. there's a new kind of collaboration that promises greater innovation and productivity to your new work is ultimately a different kind of working structure. oh, but what would new work look like in a more traditional workplace?

3:21 pm
and i have an overview of the whole factory floor i live new work in the factory punching, bending laser ring. trump is a global leader and sheet metal processing. the family owned german company employs around $15000.00 worldwide. since his apprenticeship pascal ayana cove, it has continued to learn, the company has had to offer a lot to retain skilled workers like him. a man, all that sets of us will be i can be flexible with my working hours. for example, once a year we can change our hours to at least 15 hours a week, or a maximum of 44 volha auto hoops and filter being able to change his schedule depending on his needs, has been a huge help in the fall outside. during the pandemic, my daughter was homeschooling. she was always at home and some one else had to be
3:22 pm
there. she is only 12, so we didn't want to leave her alone all day. mission got toggle. i love family is important to him. he hates to think how the pandemic would have been without his employers' flexibility, muslin feel aside, and really makes things easier. i'll buy it. my wife works too well, not full time, but about 80 percent. and on the spot on songs, it was handy to be able to coordinate and have that flexibility, flexibility. a lot of our friends didn't have that, and things were much for them. is hudson, the husband and son vital salissa limit. oliver mawson is the company's chief human resources officer for him. good conditions are one thing, but new work can be a loaded term. when he'll walk her down, when i hear it, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck. stand up. this new for me, new work is something being hyped by consultants who are looking to sell something and buy companies that want to appear better than they might actually be dizzy. that's about
3:23 pm
a lush nazi feel. i think what some call new work is nothing new from austin. he's always felt that satisfied employees are the best employees for the company. and my job, i fight call, i'm alanna. flex time might suddenly be a buzzword, but trump has had flexible schedules for 15 years. and obviously we have a gym on the roof. i can get my laundry done here. and other things that i'd otherwise have to take care of differently once, unless albanese animals like shopping and cooking employees can even get food for their families in the plants cafeteria. i thought i'd schnitzel with potato salad to go please. yeah. the take out food costs between 2 and 5 euros and can make life easier. a school if this isn't for my i'm getting my daughter's food for tonight because the school lunch today isn't so great. it just saves time at a pharmacy. on the other hand, it helps pascal focus on his job. in this album came on his,
3:24 pm
i enjoy the working atmosphere here, little sure we have team leaders, but you interact with them as an equal. the employees have a lot of say stuff in that 5. the top down authoritarian model is no more. everyone benefits from each other's expertise. team leaders give information about the current production status, but anyone on the team can raise issues. this equality is important to many job seekers. 85 percent of survey, respondents think work life balance and the ability to schedule their hours is important. flexible working hours were a factor to 79 percent. and for 73 percent. the starting salary was also key perks like the onsite basketball court and free gym also play a role in keeping staff employ, representative renata, looks her calls it
3:25 pm
a competitive advantage in the battle for skilled workers. oh, and yeah, we're surrounded by companies like portia dime learn bosh it all. the more reason for us to lead, as the most attractive employer gave us in as well as pay flexible, working hours and fitness facilities. and trump also offers employees help in difficult times. when the fin tired, so find my card from you and the supporting employees in other ways is a part of promoting a family work balance thought in part of this new working world in general window 5th. yeah. hobbin. sure. if not, we advise people who have financial problems some if we have a company doctor who has a great professional network and we get support when people have relatives who require care and get her like a full thoughts melvin, listen. this isn't simply charity. it's a business strategy, and outside of the time we put into supporting the employee is time they can then
3:26 pm
spend performing well for the company. i'll buy it off and i'll bypass invite homeschooling. and at the end of the day, it's a given take pascall and his work day with 2 hours of overtime, which he can claim back as leave when he needs it. got amazon does it with these. and sometimes i can take a longer vacation with the overtime hours. it depends what am i or i don't take the whole day off, but i work shorter hours like starting my weekend early on fridays, mostly. okay. and then swan, an after 26 years, he feels connected to his employ. that's certainly not the case. everywhere in germany, in a 2020 survey, only 17 percent of respondents said they were emotionally attached to their employer. 83 percent felt none at all.
3:27 pm
that came on you work in new work is like digitalization i everyone talks about it without having a clue what it really means to you. i thought that ali malo 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 should have a flu 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 central, i was i t manager in a really big u. s. corporation. because it's all at 27, i was the youngest person in the role in europe and also ok, it's a great company, car, stock options, good salary there shall i always wore
3:28 pm
a black suit and red tie. i thought i'd made it and, and then my father died suddenly in the last thing we had done was argue flat. but 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 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 organ cronyn. milady 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 know 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
3:29 pm
innovation, for example, hooked i as a 40 year old, might learn more about digital innovation from a 16 year old. then 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. our, 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 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 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.
3:30 pm
then we should move on in on the jan suggestion that affect the facial automaton by the teams. 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. what dominic sent me an email it happen? yes to me to publish al chris bois moved to prisoners, can they quickly get feedback on the presentation required on that sort? so cable, the size of a one are comments right away. i think they're common. what are for the plaza lessons to 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 know 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.
3:31 pm
does the stuff 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 loots 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 n yawn. yeah. session been great. unless you have more questions, we can start, am i gonna do you have any special detours planned or will you head straight back against the direct to look? yeah, been done. we're going to mount aetna. it was on our wish list for sicily wish list her physically and talk my fingers crossed. you get there safe and sound and have good weather in at night kong. maintaining a regular job while traveling. yeah, for great n yawn. there's a constant switching between leisure and work. here. i'm kind of in this in fact
3:32 pm
life, it's 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 vision provider who owns i got applicant in on house, which the job is done. now they can get back to their original plan for the day climbing mount etna. i wish almost 4. yeah, 4 and a half years ago. great. and i got engaged on kilimanjaro your best friend 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 on belmont all from the from we're nearly at mount at 9. it's really starting to rain. it's crazy that i think sort of how you think you're going
3:33 pm
to sicily to get sun and beaches. and we're here 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. now this plan has kept, i think it's more, there's so much to look forward to croatia, albania, greece is longer, not. 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 louis run their start up also from their home. all meetings are held
3:34 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 child 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.
3:35 pm
no, 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 the vision 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 dish. 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 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, and then an hour of child care. in terms of labor law,
3:36 pm
it's not easy to 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, if you would side finished them 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 cut their 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 people's ability to work remotely and hopeless. cat will be inside. oh, bakeries are among the businesses offering little chance of remote work. they need
3:37 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, it's good. pardon 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 my the mix maha master baker. laugh i expect 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? um, it's just 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
3:38 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 a master baker. we try to keep everything on the same level. everyone is addressed equally slight on my longest. both i 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. 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 read. that was the 1st problem. who's assigned him in unkind? we looked at what we offered, analyzed all the products and asked,
3:39 pm
are they worth making? what did we have? we done the math, right? and yet the answer was no. stephanie leon 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 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
3:40 pm
here and submit 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 assign, stealing scale. today we start in sales at 12 or $1250.00 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 diet. done yes, leisha grain. i've put together the steps requested time tables. let's have
3:41 pm
a look. mrs. con, mom stephanie les hot introduced 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 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 does this quiz 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 se. so go to my lawyer when i'm was momentum i vaguely to and for sometimes you just have to make
3:42 pm
a decision which can make you unpopular. that's life when you're the bus after school was as shit. 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 ever 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 and 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
3:43 pm
the limits. you never know. yeah, i sledge finance here. your work with is on far new work as a big promise that has materialized for many workers name on the home to help me younger, chromos olive, as 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 doing, i'm are 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,
3:44 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 that her, the 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 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 is order and a figure. the stress pushes many to their limits, and even beyond,
3:45 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 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 corner stone 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, 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
3:46 pm
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 up for. yeah, on domino, 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 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, and 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 waters already warm and there's good
3:47 pm
pressure toy. this is going to be good because as the woman with long hair washing it while you're on the road isn't always easy. my god, 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 gung via a 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
3:48 pm
a final part for the vehicle. retiree has helped great and yon convert the su v. his daughter's decision to quit her secure job and work in a radically different way. caught him off guard with ya of anger with a vase in rural and was a surprise. but she's living the kind of life we dreamed of at the same age on, which we just couldn't make a reality for professional or personal reasons. so school for mission going not apart and couldn't afford to clock on that bush. great. his father was self employed, his weeks often involved long working hours and too little time with his family. as of them and then bonaire get through that process. i'm a bit older now. if you, when you look back, you ask yourself, is, did you do everything right? as commercial or could you have taken advantage of the opportunities that the children are now taking advantage of? and they're doing it right. mm hm. question. great. and yon also think they've made
3:49 pm
the right choice. 6 bull time work, responsibility, career. these things didn't make them happy. they're glad to be trying something new. without a full 9 or 9, the car is 90. 9 percent done. unclear will make some final handholds in the workshop over the next couple days for denise and target on. when those parts are on the vehicle will be ready to go. get tied up. center by it's up that the world of work is also changing for hotel manager unmarried boy as of a few weeks ago, she's been working 4 days a week instead of 5 and she still gets paid the same amount. yeah, i think it's really nice to start the free day as a couple having that time off just makes for a better start to the day. and i have my final on best gunshot and talk on mary's extra day off means she can spend more quality time with her boyfriend has been
3:50 pm
