New Work 2026 – Between Autonomy and Isolation

New Work promises autonomy and flexibility, but also creates new challenges for companies and employees. This keynote highlights current developments in the world of work and uses empirical data to show what areas of tension arise and how New Work approaches are implemented in practice.

The St. Gallen longitudinal study provides well-founded insights into typical implementation patterns and their effects. Additionally, current return-to-office trends are classified, and key leadership principles are presented that are crucial for a sustainable and healthy design of New Work.

Learn which factors determine success or failure and gain practical insights for leadership in the modern world of work.
