1
We were both really successful at what we did, but we weren't happy.
2
And that's a very, very dangerous combination.
3
Once you realize that, if you're honest with yourself, then the only logical thing is to say, OK, I'd like to try something else.
4
Greta and Jan Nawel quit their jobs in 2021 and bought a used SUV.
5
By May, they were on the Italian island of Sicily, working remotely for a German company.
6
Their SUV had become both home and office.
7
We comfortably start the day, and then get ready for work.
8
At 9 .30 we have our weekly call with the start -up in Germany.
9
Even with the right equipment, being a digital nomad has its pitfalls.
10
It always sounds so easy.
11
All we need to work is a laptop and a reliable internet connection.
12
But unfortunately there have been loads of places where we couldn't really connect.
13
Or ended up like we are now.
14
Yesterday the Wi -Fi was good, but there was a storm last night, and I don't know what happened to it.
15
Greta and Jan used to work in management for a German carmaker.
16
The higher up the career ladder, the bigger their workload.
17
And professional success didn't translate into satisfaction.
18
At our old job there were rigid time constraints.
19
There wasn't much room for anything else.
20
That led to us deciding to say goodbye to working for a big corporation and to trying something completely different.
21
Greta and Jan have changed their work and their lives.
22
They've followed through with what many people would like to do.
23
There's more work in Germany than ever before.
24
Job vacancies are at record highs.
25
But that doesn't immediately translate into job satisfaction.
26
For many in Germany, work just means too much stress for a never -ending workload, for low pay and little appreciation.
27
You don't earn much, you work a lot, and you don't get much time off in return.
28
The worst is realizing you're being exploited.
29
Providing physiotherapy strains your body.
30
For me, what you end up getting in return as compensation or time off isn't fair.
31
worker dissatisfaction is growing a study showed
32
that in 2021 25 percent of people were open to the idea of a new job in 2022
33
that number rose to 37 percent companies who want to retain staff
34
now need to offer more than just money it's a mix of money appreciation and opportunities for professional growth.
35
Even for people in the simplest jobs, it's about money, sure, but it's also about recognition, appreciation and advancement.
36
A lot is changing in this world of new work.
37
There's a demand for flexible working hours.
38
Many want to be able to work remotely instead of being forced to labor in an office.
39
And there's a push for flat rather than top -down hierarchies.
40
It's becoming less about hierarchy and more about abilities.
41
There's a new kind of collaboration that promises greater innovation and productivity.
42
New work is ultimately a different kind of working structure.
43
But what would new work look like in a more traditional workplace?
44
Trumpf is one of the world's biggest manufacturers of machine tools.
45
Pascal Janukowicz brings a bag full of dirty shirts with him to work.
46
He drops the laundry off at the company's on -site cleaning service before beginning his shift.
47
Three shirts, washed and pressed.
48
How much?
49
One fifty per shirt.
50
Employees pay one euro fifty for washing and ironing.
51
A big help for the 43 -year -old and his family.
52
Pascal Yanukovic was an apprentice here 26 years ago.
53
The machine operator used to watch one machine.
54
That's no longer necessary.
55
These days, one operator looks after two or three.
56
And I have an overview of the whole factory floor.
57
New work in the factory.
58
Punching, bending, lasering.
59
Trump is a global leader in sheet metal processing.
60
The family -owned German company employs around 15 ,000 worldwide.
61
Since his apprenticeship, Pascal Yanukovits has continued to learn.
62
The company has had to offer a lot to retain skilled workers like him.
63
I can be flexible with my working hours, for example.
64
Once a year we can change our hours to at least 15 hours a week or a maximum of 40.
65
Being able to change his schedule depending on his needs has been a huge help.
66
During the pandemic, my daughter was homeschooling.
67
She was always at home.
68
Someone else had to be there.
69
She's only 12, so we didn't want to leave her alone all day.
70
Family is important to him.
71
He hates to think how the pandemic would have been without his employer's flexibility.
72
It really makes things easier.
73
My wife works too.
74
Not full -time, but about 80%.
75
It was handy to be able to coordinate and have that flexibility.
76
A lot of our friends didn't have that,
77
and things were much harder for them." Oliver Maassen is the company's chief human resources officer.
78
For him, good conditions are one thing, but new work can be a loaded term.
79
When I hear it, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
80
For me, new work is something being hyped by consultants who are looking to sell something,
81
and by companies that want to appear better than they might actually be.
82
What some call new work is nothing new for Maasen.
83
He's always felt that satisfied employees are the best employees for the company.
84
Flex time might suddenly be a buzzword, but Trump has had flexible schedules for 15 years.
85
We have a gym on the roof.
86
I can get my laundry done here, and other things that I'd otherwise have to take care of differently.
87
Like shopping and cooking.
88
Employees can even get food for their families in the plant's cafeteria.
89
A schnitzel with potato salad to go, please.
90
The take -out food costs between two and five euros, and can make life easier.
91
I'm getting my daughter's food for tonight, because the school lunch today isn't so great.
92
It just saves time.
93
And it helps Pascal focus on his job.
94
I enjoy the working atmosphere here.
95
Sure, we have team leaders, but you interact with them as an equal.
96
The employees have a lot of say.
97
The top -down authoritarian model is no more.
98
Everyone benefits from each other's expertise.
99
Team leaders give information about the current production status, but anyone on the team can raise issues.
100
This equality is important to many job seekers.
101
85 percent of survey respondents think work -life balance and the ability to schedule their hours is important.
102
Flexible working hours were a factor to 79%.
103
And for 73%, the starting salary was also key.
104
Perks like the on -site basketball court and free gym also play a role in keeping staff.
105
Employee representative Renata Luxe calls it a competitive advantage in the battle for skilled workers.
106
We're surrounded by companies like
107
Porsche, Daimler and Bosch.
108
All the more reason for us to lead as the most attractive employer." As well as pay, flexible working hours and fitness facilities,
109
Trump also offers employees help in difficult times.
110
"...Supporting employees in other ways is a part of promoting a family -work balance, and part of this new working world in general.
111
We advise people who have financial problems, we have a company doctor who has a great professional network,
112
and we give support when people have relatives who require care.
113
This isn't simply charity.
114
It's a business strategy.
115
The time we put into supporting the employee is time they can then spend performing well for the company.
116
At the end of the day, it's a give and take.
117
Pascal ends his workday with two hours of overtime, which he can claim back as leave when he needs it.
118
Sometimes I can take a longer vacation with the overtime hours.
119
It depends.
120
Or I don't take the whole day off, but I work shorter hours, like starting my weekend early on Fridays.
121
after 26 years he feels connected to his employer that's certainly not the case everywhere in germany
122
in a 2020 survey only 17 percent of respondents said they were emotionally attached to their employer 83 felt none at all
123
New work is like digitalization.
124
Everyone talks about it without having a clue what it really means.
125
Ali Maloji is a 41 -year -old entrepreneur from Vienna.
126
He's tested out nearly every facet of the new work model.
127
His start in the business world was far from smooth.
128
School was terrible for me.
129
It was just pressure.
130
I was there because I had to be.
131
I had to learn things without anyone telling me why I'd ever have to know them.
132
It was meaningless.
133
After dropping out of high school, his future was bleak.
134
But Maloji was determined to succeed.
135
He worked, later completing high school, and then going to college at night.
136
His career took off.
137
I was IT manager in a really big U .S corporation.
138
At 27, I was the youngest person in the role in Europe.
139
Great company car, stock options, good salary.
140
I always wore a black suit and red tie.
141
I thought, I've made it.
142
Then my father died suddenly, and the last thing we had done was argue.
143
The sudden loss of his father, coupled with the daily stress of being an IT manager, was overwhelming.
144
I had a clear case of burnout.
145
I suddenly recognized the futility of my job.
146
I was incredibly lonely.
147
And I swore to myself
148
that I would work somewhere where people didn't have to apologize for not being able to handle external pressures.
149
Maloji saw a therapist and began working as a teacher.
150
He noticed that a lot of young people don't know what to do after school.
151
He founded an internet platform focused on careers.
152
It was so successful that he was appointed EU ambassador for youth.
153
New work means completely rethinking the system.
154
What we usually talk about with new work are just the symptoms, the things we see.
155
But it starts with an attitude that says, we don't need to work the way we've been working up to now.
156
When it comes to innovation, for example, I, as a 40 -year -old,
157
might learn more about digital innovation from a 16 -year -old than they would from me.
158
He says today's employers need to understand that they have to compete for employees, not the other way around.
159
It's not about having a cool foosball table and saying that your company is like a start -up.
160
We're talking about issues like equality in the organization, appreciating workers, aligning work schedules with the realities of life,
161
helping people develop, coaching them in uncertain times.
162
Employers and supervisors need opportunities for change.
163
But we all do.
164
I advise everyone to develop a respect for the course of their lives.
165
If weeks and months go by when we're unhappy, and we look out the window every day wishing we were somewhere else,
166
and if things don't improve, then we owe it to ourselves to admit that this might be the wrong place, then we should move on.
167
And that's exactly what Greta and Jan Nawal have done, living and working as digital nomads.
168
As they prepare to go for a drive, they get an email from their employer.
169
Dominic sent me an email.
170
Yes, to me too.
171
Can they quickly get feedback on the presentation?
172
They want our comments right away.
173
Let's drive to this town about 15 minutes away and see if we can get a coffee.
174
Then we can sit down and take a quick look.
175
Good idea.
176
Greta and Jan do what's known as trust -based working hours, around 15 hours a week.
177
Their employer is a management consultancy in Germany.
178
They decide when to work.
179
But if they get assigned something, they start looking for a place with internet.
180
Today their office is this café.
181
That's what we had on our phones too, right?
182
And that's the link.
183
They're supposed to edit a presentation.
184
The couple's employers are Zahra and Dominik Lutz, based about 2 ,000 kilometers away in Landau in western Germany.
185
They run a consultancy that helps companies adapt to digital working methods.
186
They have regular video calls with Greta and Jan.
187
Great.
188
Unless you have more questions, we can start.
189
Do you have any special detours planned, or will you head straight back?
190
We're going to Mount Etna.
191
It was on our wish list for Sicily.
192
Fingers crossed you get there safe and sound and have good weather.
193
Maintaining a regular job while traveling.
194
For Greta and Jan, there's a constant switching between leisure and work.
195
It's comparable to the project work we did back at the large corporation.
196
You went from meeting to meeting, and from topic to topic.
197
It's like that here, except you switch between your private and your business life.
198
The job is done.
199
Now they can get back to their original plan for the day, climbing Mount Etna.
200
Four and a half years ago, Greta and I got engaged on Kilimanjaro, and we thought, since we're in Sicily,
201
it'd be a shame to miss out on Europe's highest active volcano.
202
So never mind the weather, we're going up there now.
203
We're nearly at Mount Etna and it's really starting to rain.
204
I mean, it's crazy.
205
You'd think you're going to Sicily to get sun and beaches, and we're here in this downpour." Even though it's May,
206
the weather refuses to follow the southern Italian stereotype.
207
The rain pours down at the cable car station at the foot of the mountain.
208
And when they arrive at the top, there's another surprise.
209
It's snowing.
210
Snow in Sicily.
211
Crazy.
212
There isn't much of a view today.
213
But the pair still has plenty of excitement on the horizon.
214
There's so much to look forward to.
215
Croatia, Albania, Greece.
216
Countries where we'll get a bit of sunshine.
217
We'll pay the sun a visit.
218
Yeah.
219
But the sun is shining on their employers in western Germany.
220
This is where Zahra and Dominik Lutz run their startup, also from their home.
221
All meetings are held remotely.
222
Collaborating remotely with Greta and Jan works.
223
Even when we say we'd like something back by a certain time, they let us know right away whether they can do it or not.
224
The company's founders also used to work as project managers.
225
They too went looking for a new type of career.
226
Dominique and I both have long corporate careers behind us.
227
We just didn't feel comfortable in that environment anymore.
228
Decision -making processes took a long time, because those sorts of corporations are very political.
229
Not only that, their old jobs required shifting locations and different working hours.
230
That's no longer the case.
231
Matching your personal with your professional life is important to us.
232
We're more than just consultants and business owners.
233
We have personal lives.
234
I'm a father.
235
But the advantages of working from home, like flexibility and the comfort of being in their own space, also come with risks.
236
Of course, it's not always easy to separate leisure and work.
237
You can't let work become an obsession.
238
The danger is that everything is just a short distance away, so instead of heading to the couch to rest a bit,
239
you could find yourself back at the desk.
240
That's a common experience for many people who work from home.
241
Natalie Obertur is a labor law expert.
242
Switching between home and work means extra flexibility.
243
But there are still laws to consider.
244
All the remote work during the pandemic has led to an expectation of work -life blending.
245
You might work for an hour, then take a lunch break, then do another hour's work, and then an hour of childcare care.
246
In terms of labor law, it's not easy.
247
There are standards for working hours and breaks,
248
for example, the daily maximum working time of eight hours with 11 hours of rest." In 2019,
249
just under 13 percent of the workforce worked from home.
250
In 2021, that number was 25 percent.
251
And more than half, 56 percent, would like a permanent entitlement to remote work.
252
Even if there were a legal right to remote work, it wouldn't extend to every job.
253
There are jobs that can't be done at home, like nurse, salesperson or hairdresser.
254
We're going to have to accept that there are differences in people's ability to work remotely.
255
Bakeries are among the businesses offering little chance of remote work.
256
They need workers in the kitchen and selling to customers.
257
But even so at this family -run bakery in the Kreichgau region of southwest Germany changes in the air.
258
To keep his great -grandfather's business alive, owner Steffen Leonhardt had to make big changes.
259
So, folks, let's start the power briefing.
260
A few important things to note.
261
Raphael, you're the boss of the day today.
262
How's it looking?
263
We have enough dough for now, but we'll have to get busy soon.
264
Master baker Raphael Speck is in charge today.
265
Instead of a manager delegating tasks, things are organized during the team meeting.
266
Everyone has their role.
267
We got another order.
268
25 party rolls for Saturday.
269
Can you guys handle that?
270
No more orders then.
271
Otherwise, we'll struggle." This is how new work functions in a craft business like the bakery.
272
The power briefing clarifies what needs to be made and when.
273
Everyone's on equal footing.
274
That makes Raphael Speck appreciate his workplace.
275
It doesn't matter whether you're an apprentice or a master baker.
276
We try to keep everything on the same level.
277
Everyone is addressed equally.
278
The bakery's recent success is a small miracle.
279
Stefan Leonhardt took it over from his parents in 2009.
280
And then he almost went out of business.
281
It's pretty much my own fault for not having a plan back then about how to take things forward.
282
Old recipes and traditional baking methods left him in the red.
283
That was the first problem.
284
We looked at what we offered, analyzed all the products and asked, are they worth making?
285
Have we done the math right?
286
The answer was no. Steffen Leonhard then took advanced training in French baking.
287
Today he offers sea salt focaccia and French specialties.
288
These new products bring in more customers and more sales than standard bread products.
289
It led to getting noticed in the industry.
290
People were saying, look, he's trained in French baking, he's become a bread sommelier, he's remodeling his bakery, you can watch him work.
291
It was word of mouth.
292
That was really great.
293
Leonhard wants an even bigger profile.
294
That's why he regularly organizes photoshoots for Instagram.
295
Max Herzog does social media for the bakery.
296
He's been looking after its channel for two years.
297
Social media helps many more people see what's happening here, like the fact that things are handmade, that it's a craft bakery.
298
That just leads to much more appreciation.
299
The big problem for craft industries is that, unfortunately, they're underappreciated.
300
Getting back in the black helped Leonhard solve the second problem, poor pay.
301
He had previously only been able to pay between 9 and 11 euros per hour.
302
We're well beyond that now.
303
Today, we start in sales at 12 or 12 .50.
304
In the bakery, it's 13 .50 or 14, depending on qualifications.
305
That leaves the third problem – staff shortages due to unfavorable working hours for bakers.
306
Leonhard tackled that one together with his wife Stefanie.
307
She revolutionized working hours.
308
Done?
309
Done, yes.
310
Great.
311
I've put together the staff's requested timetables.
312
Let's have a look.
313
Stephanie Leonhardt introduced a four -day work week.
314
The business is closed on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
315
There are flexible weekly hours, and staff can ask to work shifts that suit them.
316
This makes employees happy, but it also complicates planning.
317
Quite a few have blocked off the weekend.
318
Then four people are on vacation from Sunday and three before that.
319
It's going to be really tight.
320
Unfortunately, the system doesn't always work.
321
You never get 100 percent satisfaction.
322
Even with all the back and forth and the balancing we try to do, we can't meet everyone's wishes.
323
What's perfect for one person might mean that another person has a shift, when they'd rather not have one.
324
Sometimes you just have to make a decision, which can make you unpopular.
325
That's life when you're the boss." But the effort is worth it.
326
Heiko Lahrig has worked as a baker for 26 years, getting up around 3 a .m almost every day.
327
At the Leonhardt Bakery, he can start later.
328
it's a big advantage i have more free time because i can stay awake longer in the evenings
329
it means a lot when you've been having to go to bed at eight
330
or seven every night since i've been working here
331
i've been blossoming in my line of work it's really a kind of rebirth
332
flexible working hours social media less hierarchy there's a lot that's new in this traditional business.
333
And Leonhardt thinks there are more changes to come.
334
New work is still a process here.
335
No one knows where it'll take us next.
336
I'm always having to test the limits.
337
You never know.
338
So far, new work is a big promise that hasn't materialized for many workers.
339
Oliver Suchy represents the German trade union confederation.
340
Here at Hamburg's Museum of Work, he's looking back at the hard struggle for shorter working hours and better working conditions.
341
Running rotary print presses like these, for example, was tough and dirty.
342
Printers used to say that working for a newspaper would shorten your life.
343
Sure, working conditions were physically harder back then, in terms of dirt, dust and so on.
344
That's why occupational health and safety laws came in, and why management and labor came up with regulations.
345
But I wouldn't say it's less stressful today.
346
In the mid -19th century, working up to 80 hours a week was considered normal.
347
At the turn of the century, the six -day week was introduced, with a 10 -hour day.
348
In 1918, the eight -hour day became the norm.
349
Workers lived to the rhythm of their shifts.
350
Precise records were kept of when and how long they worked.
351
The punch clock from the factory or the office, that's history.
352
But the modern version of that time clock just looks different.
353
The clock's no longer needed, but really it hasn't changed.
354
It just looks different.
355
Today, working hours are shorter and workplaces are safer.
356
But many workers still aren't doing well.
357
Physical stress hasn't decreased in the last 20 years.
358
It's consistently high, depending on the industry.
359
What's really worrying is the addition of mental illness caused by work.
360
That's because the pressure and tension is so high in these jobs, whether it's office work or nursing.
361
The stress pushes many to their limits – and even beyond.
362
In 2020, 35 percent of surveyed workers experienced burnout.
363
In 2021, the figure was even higher – 38 percent.
364
Something has to change.
365
New work could be the blueprint for more productivity and satisfaction.
366
There are other factors besides pay, like development opportunities and stress factors.
367
It's about how to navigate those things in a way that leads to worker satisfaction.
368
Remote work is a cornerstone of the new work model, but it still needs to be regulated.
369
We already know that during the pandemic, there were nearly 900 million hours of unpaid overtime.
370
A lot of that was people working from home.
371
You can arrange your work how you want to, but that kind of.. complete flexibilization isn't healthy.
372
On their own, arrangements for flexible working hours aren't enough.
373
Do we need new work?
374
At the end of the day, it's about prosperity, productivity and innovation.
375
For that, we need minds that are fresh, rested and tuned in.
376
We still have a long ways to go.
377
Greta and Jan Nawal are now back from Sicily.
378
And they brought the rain with them.
379
They're at Greta's parents' house near the Dutch border and are preparing their mobile office for the next big adventure.
380
Next stop, southeastern Europe.
381
The water tank is just one upgrade we've done here in Germany.
382
We'll have an additional 25 liters of water to use on board.
383
The more than three months living and working on the road taught them what they missed from home.
384
This is great.
385
The water is already warm, and there's good pressure.
386
This is going to be good, because as a woman with long hair, washing it while you're on the road isn't always easy.
387
Smooth day -to -day life is essential if they're going to work from their specially adapted SUV.
388
After all, they're business consultants working two days a week, no matter where they are.
389
We've got sand ladders to put under the tires if we get stuck somewhere.
390
There's a roof box we made ourselves with a solar panel on top.
391
We can use that to charge the SUV's battery,
392
as long as it's sunny." Their living space amounts to just under eight square meters.
393
Everything they need to live and work is on board and precisely accounted for — even down to the cutlery.
394
Two forks, two spoons, two knives, two small spoons — that's it.
395
In his workshop, Greta's father is making a final part for the vehicle.
396
The retiree has helped Greta and Jan convert the SUV.
397
His daughter's decision to quit her secure job and work in a radically different way caught him off guard.
398
It was a surprise.
399
But she's living the kind of life we dreamed of at the same age, which we just couldn't make a reality for professional or personal reasons.
400
Greta's father was self -employed.
401
His weeks often involved long working hours and too little time with his family.
402
I'm a bit older now, and when you look back you ask yourself, did you do everything right?
403
Or could you have taken advantage of the opportunities that the children are now taking advantage of?
404
And they're doing it right.
405
Greta and Jan also think they've made the right choice.
406
Full -time work, responsibility, career – these things didn't make them happy.
407
They're glad to be trying something new.
408
The car is 99 % done.
409
We'll make some final handholds in the workshop over the next couple days.
410
When those parts are on the vehicle, we'll be ready to go.
411
The world of work is also changing for hotel manager Anne -Marie Breuer.
412
As of a few weeks ago, she's been working four days a week instead of five.
413
And she still gets paid the same amount.
414
It's really nice to start the free day as a couple.
415
Having that time off just makes for a better start to the day.
416
Anne -Marie's extra day off means she can spend more quality time with her boyfriend.
417
I'm a self -employed roofer.
418
Normally I have to be out of the house by 7 .30, but when she has the day off, we can have a nice breakfast together.
419
One fewer day at the hotel has other advantages for the 23 -year -old.
420
It's so much better not having to travel to Cologne that extra day.
421
It cuts down on travel time, which I find helps me put more energy into the days when I do work.
422
Julian Marks supported his girlfriend's decision.
423
When she told me she had the opportunity to work four days, I said, you have to do it.
424
She was actually a little skeptical at first.
425
I like it.
426
I'd do it too if I could.
427
Annemarie works here at the 25
428
Hours Hotel in Cologne.
429
The company that runs the hotel recently introduced the four -day work week.
430
Annemarie manages the housekeeping department.
431
Today, she's training a new colleague.
432
Great.
433
And here with the pillows, we can check that the corners are out.
434
The decorative pillow in the middle, and then the little robot.
435
Then check again that everything's clean and smooth it down again.
436
Anne -Marie's been working at the hotel for four years.
437
She doesn't just get an extra day off.
438
She now has to work an extra hour the other days she works.
439
Our shift times have changed since the four -day week was introduced.
440
We now work nine hours with a 45 -minute break.
441
Of course, it's a bit harder because you're here longer.
442
The longer hours are sometimes exhausting.
443
Sometimes just eight hours is demanding, and now it's nine.
444
You just have to get used to it.
445
The hotel group has around 700 employees in Germany.
446
Tim Meckelholt is the personnel coordinator in Cologne.
447
The new working model is his responsibility.
448
The crucial point was the shortage of skilled workers.
449
Partly because of the pandemic, we noticed a real lack of trained personnel.
450
As a company, we knew we had to do something, including when it came to working hours.
451
The four -day week is already in other industries and other areas.
452
Why not in the hotel and restaurant business, too?
453
staff now get three days off a week even in the
454
kitchen felix fonseca is a junior chef the 26 year old has yet to find a drawback
455
it's a very very big luxury especially in the restaurant industry the shifts haven't gotten harder in themselves
456
so from that point of view it's all positive.
457
I'm very glad with the extra day off during the week.
458
I'd recommend it to anyone who gets offered it.
459
But it does mean that the hotel needs more staff than before.
460
That's an extra cost.
461
It's logical that we need more staff, because there's one day missing, so to speak.
462
And unfortunately, in three departments, we aren't yet able to offer a four -day week, because we simply don't have enough people."
463
But the four -day model is up and running in five of the hotel's eight departments anyway.
464
Department heads are sharing feedback.
465
Scheduling is, of course, a bit more difficult.
466
We have to take into account requests for time off and, of course, the events and functions at the hotel.
467
With more challenging scheduling and higher staffing costs, the four -day workweek is a challenge for the company.
468
Of course, a model like this will create some initial costs.
469
We knew from the start it would be something we'd have to invest in.
470
Under the old model, Anna -Marie Breuer would be done for the day.
471
Today, she's using the extra hour to work on her department's schedules.
472
You do notice that you're a bit tired in the afternoon.
473
There's this one o 'clock slump, where normally with a five -day week you'd be finished.
474
You think, isn't it time for another coffee or some fresh air?
475
You notice that you're here for longer than before.
476
Here in Berlin, the Futurium Museum helps answer the question of how we'll live in the future.
477
Researcher Daniel Detling is studying the future of work.
478
The old working world was monotonous and male -dominated.
479
Now we are already in a new working world, which is more varied, more diverse, in some ways also more radical, and above all, more female.
480
For reasons that include demographics, we need more women in jobs and in management positions, and this change needs to be accelerated.
481
Detling sees an especially big change in what today's workers consider important.
482
It's less about money and career.
483
Ultimately, the big issue is time.
484
Models of working hours and flexibility with time.
485
I think we have to be even more radical in how we think from the point of view of employees.
486
The big topic is having control over one's time.
487
That's something German companies haven't yet prepared for.
488
He believes that when and how much we work will need complete rethinking in the future.
489
children born today have a life expectancy of at least 85
490
to 90 years why should they retire in their mid 60s an issue
491
that's becoming more important is the redistribution of working time across
492
our lifetimes like having more time away from work between 20
493
and 30 then in return working more between 50
494
and 70 this is where i see the next revolution and i think it'll come in the next five or six years.
495
Greta and Jan have already decided to work less.
496
Before their big trip, they do a final test drive to the Netherlands.
497
Their idea of the future of work is being mobile, working where and when they want.
498
They have exchanged the security they once had with freedom.
499
I had a job that was secure and well paid for a really great, socially minded and generous employer.
500
First, what I've gained by giving that up is to work for a start -up.
501
It's a very different kind of work, and I'm learning a lot about it. So that's one thing.
502
But then it also offers me a flexible form of work.
503
And thirdly, of course, there's the travel, exploring the world.
504
Not just seeing it on vacation the way we used to with our old jobs, but every day.
505
Those are the three things I got when I traded in the old job.
506
Despite the excitement about what lies ahead, Jan doesn't take this new way of life lightly.
507
No one knows what the future holds.
508
And we're not immune to those feelings of uncertainty.
509
But in the end, we very consciously decided to do things this way.
510
And right now, at least, we can say it was the correct decision.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
