Future of work

Work 4.0 is just around the corner: workplaces, working models and the labor market as a whole are changing. Home and office are merging into the home office; consumers are asking for new products, modern services and different solutions. So what does the future of work look like? What trends and models are emerging? What will offices and workplaces look like in the future? And above all, how can we prepare for the future of work? Crewting has collected the answers to these questions (and many more) for you in the following articles!

The future of work: The work of the future in the world of the future

The future of work is characterised by change and innovation. The world of work is constantly changing, driven by rapid technological development and changing societal expectations of work, jobs and the labour market. One thing is clear: companies that adapt to the future of work early on will reap the benefits of a modern workplace and position themselves as attractive employers. We have already made a start, for example with the launch of the Coffee Break app. Join us and start working in the future!

What will the workplace of the future look like?

When it comes to how we will work in the future, we often talk about the workplace of the future, which will not always be the office - or rather, the office of the future will no longer necessarily be in a different location to our own home. Various trends are already emerging that are pointing the way to the future of work:

Digital workplace: Digitalisation is fundamentally changing the way we work. The digital workplace now enables us to work from anywhere and access important company data, no matter where we are. In the future of work, this allows us to organise our working hours more flexibly and collaborate more closely across distances and teams. Even travelling can be combined with work in a workation.

Home office & remote work: 2020 has shown that home office and remote work can be more than just stopgap solutions. Since their implementation, these working models have become an integral part of the modern working world for many employers and employees. We will show you how you can reconcile working from home or remotely with a good work-life balance - today and in the working world of the future.

Hybrid work: A hybrid working model is also becoming increasingly popular, with employees working partly in the office and partly from home. This gives a hybrid team the opportunity to work together independently of each other geographically and, thanks to the more flexible work-life balance, to organise work around everyday life instead of the other way round. Let us show you how a hybrid working model can make you a more attractive employer.

What will the labour market of the future look like?

The working world of the future starts with technological equipment, but it goes far beyond that. Employee motivation will also play an important role, as will the behavioural patterns of managers, staff loyalty and the way in which work is carried out and communicated.

The entire labour market will undergo changes for the future of work, and in the working world of the future it will be increasingly important to enable staff to be more flexible, creative and individualised, while at the same time drawing on the strengths of each individual to drive the company forward. These new work models can be enabled and supported by the following measures:

People analytics: Data-based decision-making will become increasingly important in the future of work. People analytics helps to optimise HR strategies and increase employee satisfaction, for example through data mining, machine learning and predictive analysis. For example, employee turnover can be predicted and minimised or the employee experience improved.

Work-life balance measures: By means of well thought-out work-life balance strategies, personnel can combine a satisfying private life with a functional and successful working life. Such measures can be offered within the company - this also strengthens employee loyalty and identification with the company for the future of work.

Employee wellbeing: Companies are increasingly prioritising the wellbeing of their employees. Work-life balance measures and programmes such as Workation help to promote the satisfaction and health of the workforce and are therefore an essential part of the future of work.

What does the future of work look like? - Well, with Crewting!

In summary, it can be said that the working world of the future is diverse and dynamic. New work trends such as home office and hybrid work are already shaping the future of work with their challenges and opportunities. And employees have begun to notice this: the demand for alternative working models has already increased dramatically.

How we work in the future is likely to change even further. This cannot be stopped or changed. But you can be ahead of the curve and establish the future of work today - that will be decisive in the end. The future of work starts now. Be part of it and actively shape the working world of tomorrow!
