Reflection instead of reflex: Escaping the New Work trap

According to global statistics, people are doing better and better on average. Nevertheless, employees are usually still miles away from a beautiful, new (working) world. "New Work" measures promise quick help here. However, an all-too-reflexive approach easily leads companies into the New Work trap, in which hyped pseudo-solutions are adopted and working conditions are thus "worsened". Actors who resist the reflexes of the New Work hype and instead develop meaningfully new ways of working in a reflected manner show how it can be done differently: By satisfying individual needs, they bring the potential of each individual to bear. This makes New Work a central building block for the future of work. Lucas Sauberschwarz and Lysander Weiss explain this in their chapter "Reflection instead of Reflex" in the edited volume "HR Consulting Review: Special Volume Future of Work" by Prof. Dr. Nachtwei.
