Organizing working time innovatively and sustainably with New Workforce Management

Increase employer attractiveness and competitiveness at the same time

This training is held in German.
The shortage of skilled workers is here to stay. Even employees made redundant due to crises will not close the gaps, neither quantitatively nor qualitatively. Therefore, there is only one way to find and retain employees: Beyond the standard slogans superficially characterized by employer branding, companies must actually become more attractive at their core and at the same time more efficient in order to remain competitive. Both can be achieved simultaneously with innovative working time organization. In this training, you will learn how this is possible in both administrative and blue-collar areas.
