Boss 4.0

Managers and employees moved into the home office with the Corona pandemic. Since then, a modern working world has been rapidly developing that skilfully combines reality and virtuality. The future belongs to flexible working models. The key is...

Attendance still counts....

... but in a completely different way. Traditional leadership, which relies primarily on the actual presence of employees and the authority of managers, will no longer exist in the future. Studies show that employees and creative professionals increasingly want flexible working models. The advantages are clear. Work and family can be optimally combined through digital and hybrid work models. In addition, resources are saved because the commute is eliminated. And because...

Authority alone is a bit yesterday...

...modern management work is also changing. Because what counts more than ever today are openness, trust and empathy. The focus is also on authenticity and addressing the individual circumstances of employees' lives and work. The word "authority" is likely to be obsolete, because managers can no longer score points with it alone in hybrid digital working environments.

▶ Did you know that the Teams collaboration solution is becoming more and more popular, and more streamlined to boot?

▶ In addition, our W365 and AVD solutions help you master the hybrid working world in your company.

The magic word is inclusion

Inclusion is always required when some employees participate physically in a meeting and other employees only virtually. Managers or team leaders should always keep an eye on all colleagues. It is important to communicate proactively and to steer the conversation in a targeted manner. The greeting preferably includes a short virtual check. It ensures that no one is overlooked and that everyone is doing well. Addressing open questions or problems is also part of this.

Maintaining the company culture also works virtually

For many employees, a positive and motivating corporate culture is the deciding factor for further job development. This includes, for example, job satisfaction and length of stay at the company. The hybrid work routine also includes company events and celebrations to stabilize loyalty and integration.
