detailed summary
In this episode of the podcast "Gut durch die Zeit", I take up the topic of the world of work, particularly in relation to the challenges and potential for conflict that go hand in hand with advancing digitalisation. I have Michael Neÿ, an experienced consultant and employee of the Research Institute for Vocational Trainingto discuss the changes in the working environment together. We will talk about the need to promote employees' social and communication skills in order to meet the demands of an increasingly digital working environment.
Michael provides valuable insights into his work at the research institute, where the focus is on the Development of job profiles and the Training and further education lies. We shed light on which skills are essential in a rapidly changing world of work and how these manifest themselves in the context of education and professional development. This raises the question of what it means to have an education today and what skills will be in demand in the future. Michael points out that we need to be aware of how we are adapting to digital change and what practical steps we can take to not only accept digital change, but actively participate in it.
A central topic of our discussion is the Mindfulness in communicationespecially in the digital space. We discuss how misunderstandings are increasing in online communication and the role that unreflected expectations of response times play in the way we work today. The technology itself is neutral, but the expectations associated with it and how it is used can lead to conflict. We analyse how a culture of reflective use of technology can help to reduce stress and overload, and what responsibility managers have in this process.
We also discuss the social dynamics between the generations in the workplace. Michael emphasises that stereotypes between the generations are often misunderstood and that it is more important than ever to listen and focus on individual perspectives when dealing with each other. In conflict situations, it is crucial to not with preconceived ideas to act, but the right questions to promote understanding between employees.
Finally, we will discuss the key issues of our time: What does "work" mean in a world in which many activities can be performed by machines?? How do we define ourselves when our professional identity is no longer so strongly linked to work? The answers to these questions are crucial not only for individuals, but also for companies in order to remain fit for the future.
The findings from this discussion are not only relevant for professionals in the field of organisation and training, but also for anyone interested in the future of the world of work. It is an appeal to remain flexible, to actively shape change and not to lose sight of the social aspects of work.
