This book takes readers on a journey into the future of work. Following the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, working conditions have become more flexible than ever before. The freedoms granted within this framework continue to be demanded by many employees. There are also numerous companies that have had predominantly positive experiences with this change and would like to continue with it. Against this backdrop, it is to be expected that the shift away from a traditional working environment – due to the four influencing factors of demographic change, skills shortages, digitalisation and artificial intelligence – will accelerate in the future. This book provides an overview of the various design options for New Work and highlights their respective advantages and disadvantages. It also analyses new trends and forecasts relating to the future of work. In addition, the relevant legal framework is presented in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. This book provides you with the tools you need to actively shape the future of work in your company in a legally compliant manner.
