New Office Concepts in the Post COVID-19 Times

The digital transformation is changing the way we work and what demands we place on our work environment and location. The focus is no longer solely on the salary and extrinsic factors. New Work focus mainly on intrinsic factors. Intrinsic motivation refers to an individual’s personal interests, satisfaction and enjoyment. The factors affecting it are internal. Therefore, a person learns the learning’s sake without expecting anything such as grades or praise in return. Instead, they are guided by something deeper (Helmold, 2020). A good work–life balance and personal development on a professional and personal level are now playing an increasingly important role. In the case of work processes that run virtually, flexible work models are particularly suitable to respond to the new needs of the new worker and to better combine professional and private life. For future work, it will become more and more important to change old structures and create space for new working models. The Internet makes it possible to work in virtual teams from anywhere in the world. The introduction and use of flexible working models are therefore only a logical consequence. In the following we present you the advantages of flexible working models. Many companies already understand today how we want to work in the future. Giving employees more freedom to choose their working hours and location is a good step in the right direction. Because in the future it will become more and more important that companies respond to the individual needs of their employees and offer flexible working models. In this way, everyone can find out for themselves which way of working is most effective and satisfactory. Above all, employee satisfaction, trust and appreciation should be increased in order to remain interesting as an employer in the long term. This will enable the highest productivity and the greatest success for the company in the future (Bergmann, 2019).
