Work Culture
Work and culture are not opposites — they complement each other. They are creating a new holistic image of work characterized by modern rules for new forms of cooperation. That is why work culture is currently the focus of the IBA Forum.
WHAT WILL BE THE NEW ROLE OF THE OFFICE?
We asked ourselves this question not only at the first Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festivals during ORGATEC in October 2024. The question also runs through all the other activities of the IBA Forum.
The future of work has become its present. Old certainties have become obsolete. Cooperation within companies is no longer determined solely by employers, organizations and managers. Employees are redefining work in terms of their own requirements and experience acquired by trying things out from day to day. This is how the coordinates of New Work and a new work culture are emerging.
We’ll be addressing teamwork, health and wellness, as well as the effects of our activities on the environment and society. We’ll be looking at people, companies and technology, and of course at artificial intelligence and a new work culture.
In our newsroom
Where and how we work
In our newsroom we discuss new forms of cooperation and networking and, on that basis, the new role of the office. Is it becoming the place you’d like to return to in the future, instead of the place where you have to go? How important are communication and leadership? Will companies order their employees to return to their office workplaces after all, or will they enable a culture that generates hybrid creativity and communication? Will new forms of work lead to new forms of mobility, innovation and communication? How can we achieve greater sustainability, and what can we do to promote health and wellness? Our experts will address the topic of “Work Culture” from a wide range of perspectives and offer fascinating insights into their thought processes and their work.
From the showrooms
New ideas for the work environment
The right balance between freedom and obligation will be crucial for our work in the future. However, this balance must be achieved not only in terms of organization but also in terms of physical space.
You can find inspiring ideas about how spaces can support the new work culture in the virtual showrooms of the IBA Forum.
In the media center
Appreciation, cohesion and leadership
In the new work culture, the place, time and content of work is enhanced by the new facets of health, food, music, creativity and culture, as well as sustainability, energy, new technologies and the dialogue between the generations. In the past there have rarely been so many starting points for shaping work anew.
In the newsroom of the IBA Forum as well as the media library, we will make available, step by step, expert presentations on the multifaceted topic of “Work Culture”.
