New Work – what is it actually?
Imagine: Work is no longer a grueling eight-hour marathon, but a creative raft full of flexibility, personal responsibility, digital tools—and the occasional keen eye on the coffee mug.
New Work is not just buzzword ping-pong, but means: spaces (physical & digital), tools, knowledge transfer, coaching – and above all, people who have a say in when, where, and how they want to work.
At 3kubik, we firmly believe that good work is not just something that gets done – it should be fun, inspiring, and connect people.

New Work at 3kubik –
this is how we live it
For us, New Work isn’t just a buzzword, it’s part of our everyday life. We work where it suits us best – sometimes from home, sometimes in the office, sometimes in our favorite café. The main thing is that the environment inspires us and clears our minds. Continuing education is just as important to us: Whether it’s tech webinars, coaching, or spontaneous peer learning sessions, we see learning as an integral part of our job, not a tedious additional task.
Digital assistants and smart tools are not just nice-to-haves for us, but real teammates. They help us keep the organization lean, capture ideas, and create space for what matters most: good collaboration and creative solutions.
And because we firmly believe that work without empathy doesn’t work, we often start meetings with a playful check-in. This is more than just a warm-up – it reminds us that we are human beings, not cogs in a project plan. This ensures that appreciation and team spirit always take priority.
For us, flexibility is not just a buzzword, but the basis of our work: we think in terms of projects and skills, not rigid job titles or fixed hours. Those who contribute their strengths are given room to help shape the company—and that is precisely where the magic of New Work at 3kubik lies.
Conclusion
New Work is not a passing trend—it is a new approach to work: flexible, human, sustainable, technology-supported. And at 3kubik, we live and breathe this approach—with a sense of humor, genuine appreciation, and plenty of team spirit.
