“New Work” in the Digital Age

In control cabinet manufacturing, the digital transformation is changing not only the specific work processes, but also the way people work. The focus is shifting more and more to creative and flexible working methods, and classical hierarchies, work hours and work environments are loosening their hold. “New Work” is becoming the “new normal” in Minden as well – WAGO is encouraging this transformation, in order to remain a reliable partner for control cabinet manufacturing customers and an attractive employer for future applicants.

At a Glance:

Individual self-realization and personal development are central values.
The four pillars of the “New Work” transformation
“New Work” practices give WAGO employees more space for creativity and innovation
Control cabinet manufacturing processes need to be made more efficient and homogeneous

The Transformation of the Working World into a Knowledge Economy

“The transformation of the working world has led us, through the industrial revolution, to a knowledge economy. The path from here to the digital economy is no longer very far.” For Nicole Kreie, Director of International Project Service at WAGO Kontakttechnik, the question is not whether digitization will continue to transform work environments, but rather how fast this transformation will occur. Knowledge doubles every few years; it is becoming harder and harder to filter news and knowledge to find the essential information. “These days, managing, maintaining and efficiently using this accumulating knowledge are essential.” This inevitably leads to digitization, which will transform both work processes and information processes.

The crisis caused by the outbreak of the global Coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated how quickly a change to external circumstances can affect people’s work environments, by forcing companies to accelerate the digital transformation process. “And it’s made clear that even in an industry that is crucial in driving product innovation on the market, we don’t always know what’s coming – but that’s all the more reason we need to be prepared for current events.”
