The Challenge
As part of the overall project ‘New Work’ digital, analog, and cultural needs are to be identified and evaluated, and integrated into employees’ work lives through overarching change management.
The Vision
‘New Work’ should become visible in the analog work environment. Existing tasks and challenges serve as the guiding principles for implementation.
The office becomes a marketplace of knowledge and a place for social interaction -– it is no longer ‘just’ for work.
The Method
We raise awareness of the need for change, establish cultural guidelines as the basis for digital and analog transformation, and implement them with project-wide change management. By participating in the design of the new office spaces and the digital workplace, we reduce employees’ (emotional) stress while simultaneously enhancing their positive perception. We develop a centralized change management approach that prioritizes the participation of all. No one is left alone.
The Results
The new ELK WUE building is the result of an individual office design. The new construction is optimally tailored to the needs and challenges of the staff. The original plan to assign a fixed workspace to all employees was revised, flex desks were introduced, and the demands of the employees for flexible work models were met. This resulted in savings by eliminating previously planned branch offices, saving a seven-figure amount annually. The associated digital workplace performs equally well everywhere: whether in the home office, the new office, or while traveling. It serves as a link for all employees, ensuring process security, uniform working methods, and, in combination with the cultural guidelines and the new office, joy in work..
