Abstract:
Major societal challenges like the COVID 19 pandemic and global climate change have forever altered the way people work together and think about work. But what does this mean for organizations? This article explores this through a case study of a German research institute’s transformation project towards sustainable hybrid work. The case at hand is particularly interesting as the research institute faced the additional challenge of a pending move during the COVID 19 pandemic. The article aims to present experiences and recommendations for action for an adequate design of sustainable hybrid work in all phases of the transformation. First, it presents a concrete New Work concept along several dimensions for sustainable hybrid work, which has been developed drawing from literature and practical experiences. Second, this article provides insights into the implementation, showing the collaboration of several interdisciplinary teams and deriving good practices on the way towards sustainable hybrid work. This article complements previous findings by combining hybrid work and sustainability and showing ways of integrated, interdisciplinary implementation. Thus, our findings provide a basis and structure for other researchers to explore the concept of sustainable hybrid work and the development and measurement of its success factors in more depth. Practitioners can use the concept and the good practices as a blueprint for their own transformation towards sustainable hybrid work and decide on corresponding organizational adaptations.
