In collaboration with the Chair of Organisation and Human Resources at the University of Oldenburg (Prof. Dr Thomas Breisig), the Cooperation Centre has submitted a project proposal to the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, which has now been approved. From the second half of 2022, the "Discourses on the Future" will focus on the effects of the home office boom in the coronavirus era on the entire working world. This is because the combination of working in the office and working from home (hybrid working) seems to be becoming the "new normality of tomorrow", especially for traditional office jobs. The establishment of hybrid workplaces goes hand in hand with new requirements for workplace concepts (e.g. saving office space), work organisation (e.g. remote working) and digitalisation (e.g. data security). The associated challenges for companies and institutions are to be discussed from different perspectives in the proposed project. The project will run for 15 months.
