Future of Work
Concept for change
The term “Future of Work” describes the working world of tomorrow. It is influenced by the trends of digitalization, globalization, demographic change, sustainability, changing values, and relevant trends affecting people themselves, but also forms of employment, technology, flexibility, and sustainability. Typical drivers of this change include automation, but also technology change and the rise of e-mobility. The impact varies tremendously by industry. Simple jobs that require only low skills are already increasingly being replaced by robots and computers – or just poorly paid ones. Around 2.1 million jobs will be created by 2035 in occupations that are difficult to replace with technology, according to a study by management consultants Deloitte – most of them in the areas of healthcare, teaching and training, and management and administration.
How does employee retention succeed?
The concept Future of Work includes answers to questions such as “How will we work tomorrow?”, “Which occupations will remain and which will fall away? Which new ones will emerge? What does this mean for social participation?” In addition, it also touches on where we work – in the home office or traditionally in the office – and how we communicate with each other in the workplace, and what forms of collaboration will develop on this basis. “Future of Work” must also provide answers to the question of how human resources management is changing and how qualified employees can be retained by the company in the long term. It is equally essential to develop concepts around work-life balance, conflict management, and competence management.
