to join us for an exciting exploration of everything in between. this is the video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune in the what does work mean 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, send a new home and berlin lazy, lacking in 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 gen see fair in the workplace? so in the past, so that's for how you prefer not to work weekends and to no long hours overtime. and the best part time for a re holiday 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 out of the i know i did not go to university and i don't plan to send me a that's a copy of it. so i need a work environment where i can make mistakes and learn from them without it turning into a serious problem. feet on to the i'm unpleasant homepage when damage feet long and kind of wanted us to come out. this boat is co workers, our own gnc, and so is this font. so how does he get the most out of his teams? 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 lynch and see and simply the boss is not quite so flexible, that can be a problem. put you on a screen of i've had to fire people who were less than reliable. so when so far,

this is kind of like an electrical apprentice who was consistently late, who will be the general? i'm told a line most of the content is empty. always came at 715, if not at 7 am like the rest of the team discussed the team to chrome. so and then as you tried to argue is way out of it. like saying, well, i have great grades and to me it's a off chop. i was, the question will be, jonesy 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 wish to be able to come and be sold or be. i don't want to be seen only as an anonymous workers anymore suite 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 what working at the company really means by specifies people tend to in order to exercise. in germany, gmc tends to be highly trained and educated and have many of options and

opportunities. and given a labor shortage, they're also highly sought after as workers, which is a major boost to their confidence. and the more mind we assume 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 this for me is o gets the most i little 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 if it's less than 10 to have a regular team events once a year, down 15. if that's a settlement from last year, we took the entire team of 25 p by tomorrow, caching and rented a small space there location. we had a 5 didn't work case on there of all as a team. i was somebody supposed to be in town. remember that sits in front of the walls. lessons of a situation is the bus dr. team building last summer, more free time than their parents. most pressure at work,

an open door to opportunities. this germany's gmc habits made people own say we should be the happiest generation of all the face. again, we've grown up with so many more privileges than our parents have collections it 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, on the house is a struggle with motivation and wondering if there's even a point to work and a career. i'm assuming what about your income and thoughts? experience involved. all that when kenzie feels respected and values, they're motivated and resilient. don't even work on the weekend as long as it's the exception, rather than the rule motivated and affordable. many german companies like mula fired,

fucking and bush are looking across the border to poland these days. the country has lots of highly skilled workers, a good infrastructure, and it's an e. u member state 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. flu shots, 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 by just s, as 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 of poland and draws investors and companies to come here. the engineer stuff on hit no was sent to chronicle 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, a more willing to set their personal interest aside in favor of the company. that's the rule, not the exception of the uptake overtime for example, or working on the weekend. you don't have to ask for volunteers here, and then people volunteer of their record because they want to be voided and some

400 kilometers to the northeast and are going to fail this. holding a team meeting, the polish interim manager works setting up sites for german companies here in poland. per 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. does that come on your? 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 in 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. laguna defense. as germany could learn a lot from colon, she's also work as a consultants for other german companies,

like volkswagen hines gloss and fair side. for young, i've been working non stop for 2 years, which comes out to bring in a policy of i'll 2nd when one job and i started another one it's on does if y'all can so it been and when this job is done, i've got another one lined up already and it's nice to have job security and dominion demand like the fact that the internal manager says that poland has several key strengths, 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. functioning as i, it's one reason is that polish workers want to show the best side of themselves in the workplace, and that makes them more highly motivated. so you don't, you know,

it says ip sec. i'm going to get back at me and, and crack out plant manager. a vision on slow back says for 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 outcomes. and it's not just m a n. it's also the volkswagen group in general. we have a plant instead of what we changed, which manufacturers buses for m a n o b. and so prospects are definitely good for the group. and the plants in pulling to balcony and pulled on the album. 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 what's the night town? everyone's a sleep pump from one a night town with what come down. life is a nice, how is anything but easy? in germany, the beds are actually in the minority. morning logs gift up 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 they say, the idea that morning locks a 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 noon. but for a nice house, that's a nightmare. that's just note when they're at the back i'm tired with cuz cuz the gym and economy nearly 57000000000 us again. in some professions critique can be dangerous, a pilot such and whose time it can cost nights. working from home is made life easier for a nice house. and maybe a quick nap at the office could 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 more than $130000000.00 bikes a year, 4 times more than in the 19 seventy's. 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 bytes a year. more than anywhere else in europe. 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 gave a message both of us might because while back then portugal was still a sleepy place in 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 because 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're just moving to the 1998 and trying to discover in 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 on c, m 's. i said for 12. so let me know. you see, let's just put in this company, manufacturers around 1000. the bikes a day, many of the parts come from asia, but not all of them. a few kilometers down, there is 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. see it. you're going to stay competitive. we have to offer a good bike value here in portugal, people, it means that we help each other to induce their sector isn't all that big and yeah, and working in collaboration is better than working alone ever since, you know, one of those but all 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 their mice. we're going to keep producing more and more components and ship the most. 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 difficult technologically as you know . and new companies are also sprouting up like bike apps. they're high

tech and they're feeling nice is left over by the larger companies. so who are their customers? the employee is 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, they 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 with strings. yeah, they've got one company had a problem with their frames, which couldn't be solved in poland when 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 the way that product it's a winning formula. bind valley is also drawing workers from south america these days. and the size of it, as i love presented to improve our quality of life for to go here. unfortunately, my children get a good education feed, we have good food, healthy food, just a better quality of life overall thing. so us to call you 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 jewel on us of a drought 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 east scooter company 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 come for a kind of walter image or is to be deeply attached to their culture, but to be honest is not the very easy. the

a. hi, my name is tyler. i'm the phone or i'll see you off to die. so it provides a search foundation here and allowing businesses and developers to build multiple applications. so i gene, i like karl 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 your pictures, searching videos, audio. so for example, if you're thinking about e commerce company, 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 or this becomes a very, very efficient, right? it takes about like 0 point one second. the

basically we provide all the models as a p, i so that developers kind of coal all service or they probably picks your one week to 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 and 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 deal with the international business that focus on commercial opens all software company. and those are plenty of patents. here is burdens in germany is at work, 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,

which allows the startups to grow more in the autonomous way. so it doesn't gave a lot of help to the start off less. 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 verda. it's not our traditional in german safety. 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 country kind of wants their immigrants to be deeply attached to their culture . but to be honest, it's another very easy. it's not very easy to build. friendship

like, you know, you 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 and they're open because you'll see a lot of like, uh, uh, you know, international people here and uh, the culture is definitely a while as a most open open culture in new york is not a cheap safety anymore. and they generally in china, in my home calls, it is called, it is very crowded, but at least the weather is kind of like a you can kinda enjoy a lot of sunshine in the wind turbine, even though that berto 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 and 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 you already got. i'm already on, you know, i've 6 or $630.00 is and those on swim you full hour. 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 driving driving is, i'm very fond if i drive like a far enough that i can, you know, drive to the song. i as i, i kinda, i kinda drive to the place where there are a lot of sunshine, even though it is a movie and call the drive belts. and funny, if i drive far enough, i comfortable life does a cloud certain work life balance is very important because that's that, you know, as a sort of phone are usually, you cannot put the work life balance as

a 1st place. right? so as you are the like, cut off in the forest, all 5 in the in the least. so my suggestion to the a officer a, see you on the founders a is 1st off on work on 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 the double 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. good bye and take care the
