HWZ launches new CAS New Work
Mobile-flexible working, home office, online workshops and video calls have become a mass phenomenon. The newly launched CAS New Work of the HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich strengthens the understanding of the complex interrelationships of New Work models and offers a methodological toolbox in dealing with digital work processes.
Classic structures are being replaced in companies by new work structures characterized by work-life blending, collaboration and remote work. Agile working methods in coworking spaces and factors such as meaningfulness, design options and work-life balance are replacing familiar structures and processes. Companies need to rethink their IT infrastructure, office concepts and leadership styles. Corporate culture is experiencing an enormous boost thanks to massively increased flexibility in terms of work content, time, place and form. The productivity of employees working in a healthy and meaningful work environment increases significantly, which ultimately benefits the company, the employees and society as a whole.
New Work is called upon to offer a sense of purpose instead of rules and regulations, which helps entire teams as well as individuals to move forward in an increasingly competitive environment. Courage, personal responsibility and creativity are the foundations that generate an attractive working environment. "Work and life are merging in the digital transformation, enabling employees to respond flexibly to private circumstances and to work in a self-determined manner. At the same time, this places greater demands on self-direction," emphasizes Dr. Sarah Genner, head of the CAS New Work HWZ program, which will start anew in September 2022. Generations Y and Z, who are also digital natives, make up the majority of employees in Switzerland today, with flat hierarchies, freedom and flexibility among their important qualities of life. The new world of work will have to adapt to these developments if it wants to remain successful internationally in the increasingly intense competition for the best specialists. The framework for action for companies and their employees is becoming agile, newly set and enables a vibrant work environment. "In addition to numerous practical examples, the CAS New Work HWZ offers a look behind the hip buzzwords of "Future of Work", points out useful trends and takes the wind out of the sails of hypes", says course director Sarah Genner.
