On March 10, 2023, the Schmalenbach working group “Human Resources and Labor” met for the fourth time, this time at the invitation of the Labor Director of Stadtwerke Düsseldorf. A thesis paper on hybrid work was prepared, which addresses differentiated approaches to the design field. The working group is formed by members of the practice (personnel managers) and the science (chairs with focus on personnel and work). Prof. Dr. Uta Wilkens is a member of the working group and presented working hypotheses for a planned survey for discussion there.
