New work meets traditional labor law

The tension between agile transformation and legal practice

This training is held in German.
The new world of work is characterized by agility, self-organization, Employees ' desire for flexibility in terms of location and time and thus the challenge of "hybrid leadership". The co-determination of the works council and data privacy must be taken into account here. But how do you reconcile the new world of work with traditional employment law? We shed light on this area of conflict by providing an overview of the current legal state of opinion, best practice experiences and case studies. The focus is on legally compliant solutions.
