After we got our on September 13th vision day have completed, we have started to implement it. This week we had the opportunity to present and introduce the first changes.
What happened until now
Since we made the decision on September 13th that we want to grow closer together in the future in order to be able to "pull in the same direction", we have been working together THE CONSULTANTS of proposed solutions, which we presented to the steering group.
In doing so, we worked out a new internal structure that refers less to individual branches and instead deliberately focuses on “the big picture”. The result was a simple and, for us, comprehensive overall package.
The steering group
This overall package was presented to the steering group. All positions and the consequences thereof were discussed in detail by all managers and four committed representatives from the team. At the end of the meeting, the proposal was unanimously approved. An aura was clearly noticeable for me. An aura of curiosity and wanting to implement. And that's something of the project COMMON DENOMINATOR gives strength!
At this point I would like to thank the steering group and the representatives from the team. We had a very good exchange and this new form of cooperation is already the cornerstone for our way into a future on which we all want to pull together even more!
The first steps: duty scheduling & communication
This week the time had come – the first steps were implemented. A new software for internal communication and exchange ensures shorter distances and improved feedback messages. A new duty roster software, as well as changes in the creation of the duty roster itself, will enable more freedom and planning security in the future. Here, too, the focus was on the fact that the new technical aids allow employees to plan more themselves and communicate more directly/easily.
What may sound abstract at this point has noticeable effects in practice, because overall we now have the best possible conditions for combining work and private life in the best possible way in the future. This has brought us a good deal closer to the New Work organization that we want to become.
What's next?
We are in the middle of the winter season right now. Therefore, the next changes will be made in small steps until the end of the season in April. The next major tasks are waiting for us after April 2023. Of course we will continue to inform you about all important steps in this blog!
