Performance culture - utopia or necessity?

CHRO X-Change:
Insights & Exchange at Axel Springer SE

 

Many people are increasingly concerned about Germany as a business location. Rising energy costs, expanding bureaucracy, and the ongoing need for digitalisation are dominating the news. Additionally, the productivity and motivation of the German workforce are under growing scrutiny. While the unemployment rate is rising, labour force participation and working hours are falling. Location ratings are falling, even as exports begin to rise again. The press and politicians are debating the work ethic of Gen Z and Millennials, while Baby Boomers and Gen Y are also showing signs of wanting to scale back.

 

Jointly with Axel Springer SE, we would like to invite you to join us on this topic:

Productivity and performance culture in focus – an exchange on the future of People Management in Germany as business hub
