New Work: Between Successes and persistence for Equality

New Work, self-organisation and without rigid hierarchies are our hopes for more equality – after all, structural rigidities in companies are being thrown overboard. Which hopes have been fulfilled? Which are often disappointed? Which disadvantaging aspects are further going on? What aspects can “old work” companies take away? Annika Koller and Josef Kruckenberg have been working in companies with Holocracy framework for many years and they are committed to diversity and inclusion. Dr Gabriele Schambach has been accompanying companies on their way to gender equality and diversity for year, e.g. with “Leaders for Equality”. The three of them give an insight into the opportunities that “New Work” organisations without rigid hierarchies and with flexible role offer for equality. And they show why not everything shines as brightly as it seems at first. Homogeneous employee structures, traditional understandings of leadership and social positioning do not stop at “new work” companies. What exactly does this mean for gender equality work? And what can be learned for the necessary cultural change? We can look forward to the results!
