Designing a suitable working environment - individualization vs. standardization - 02.09.2025

Speaker: Martina Baier
Location: DIAKOVERE Annastift Leben und Lernen gGmbH Vocational Training Center, An der Weidenkirche 10, 30539 Hanover
The reasons for greater diversity in teams lie partly in the shortage of skilled workers and partly in conscious decisions to increase creativity and problem-solving skills.
This diversity requires more individual approaches to workplace design, working time models and task assignments. The focus is often on additional offers rather than on adapting existing structures. When considering how to increase employer attractiveness, the focus of the discussion is too often on what companies can offer "on top" and not on how they can possibly adapt existing work structures.
In the workshop, we will use the example of inclusive workplaces to explore the scope of possibilities, question existing beliefs and sound out the limits of individualization.
Contents:
- Diversity in teams: identifying reasons and benefits
- Questioning beliefs: Reflection and discussion about existing convictions
- Inclusive workplaces: Best practices for designing them.
- Limits of individualization: Balance between organizational requirements and the needs of employees.
