The project was kicked off in the second half of 2018. Some ten colleagues from the partic\u00adi\u00adpating depart\u00adments formed the project team for the \u201cnew working envi\u00adron\u00adment\u201d, led by Mr. Mein\u00adgast.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1800px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1417-1\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" poster=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Erstes.jpg\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Our-Office-Drone_01.mp4?_=1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Our-Office-Drone_01.mp4\">https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Our-Office-Drone_01.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Work\u00adshop\u00adping for new work\u00adspace concepts<\/h5>\n<p>Our colleagues first trav\u00adeled to B\u00f6blingen to gain a first impres\u00adsion of possible work\u00adspace concepts at a partner company there.

We had a rela\u00adtively old system before. Now we are working in a cool, modern envi\u00adron\u00adment that decen\u00adtral\u00adizes work some\u00adwhat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you like the fact that we are all on the same floor in an open work\u00adspace?<\/strong><br>\nYes, certainly. Commu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion between colleagues is defi\u00adnitely much better as a result and the contact is more inten\u00adsive. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are the disad\u00advan\u00adtages in your opinion?<\/strong><br>\nThe rules concerning eating and drinking. I also think that the \u201cpremium\u201d coffee maker could be improved. A set of stan\u00addard equip\u00adment at every desk would have been good, because you never know where people sit each day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you make better use of the area? What is still lacking?<\/strong><br>\nI think a larger kitchen would be nice, so that we can cook together if we want. It would also be good to have chips in the table\u00adtops. By scan\u00adning these, we would then know where the members of a team are sitting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you return to the old system?<\/strong><br>\nNo. It\u2019s defi\u00adnitely better the way things are now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h3 class=\"accordion-item-title\"><a href=\"#accordion-item-stephan-wigh-de-alencar-project-manager-digital-solutions\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-for-inactive\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-minus icon-for-active\"><\/i>Stephan Wigh de Alencar, Project Manager Digital Solu\u00adtions<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"accordion-item-stephan-wigh-de-alencar-project-manager-digital-solutions\" class=\"accordion-item-content\">\n<p><strong>What were your thoughts when you heard that you and your team were the first at Uhlmann to try out the new concept?<\/strong><br>\nI was pleased that changes were being made. During the conver\u00adsion work, I often sneaked up to the third floor to see how my new working area was shaping up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you make of having no land\u00adline? Is that nega\u00adtive for you?<\/strong><br>\nNo way. I use the call forwarding func\u00adtion and have always used my headset anyway. Basi\u00adcally, I now have more space and fewer cables on my desk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about the idea that you must lock away your laptop, keyboard, mouse, etc. every day?<\/strong><br>\nPerson\u00adally, I have no problem with that. There are lockers for us to stow away our things after work. No doubt, even larger lockers would have been better, but as long as it is not a problem to store the keyboard diag\u00ado\u00adnally, the size is okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think about the various work\u00adrooms \/ areas? Do you use them frequently? Are some of them less useful than orig\u00adi\u00adnally thought?<\/strong><br>\nI think I have used all the spaces so far, the project zones the most.

I haven\u2019t been in the \u201ccube\u201d yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you like to return to the old system?<\/strong><br>\nNo, defi\u00adnitely not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h3 class=\"accordion-item-title\"><a href=\"#accordion-item-gina-braun-assistance-digital-solutions\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-for-inactive\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-minus icon-for-active\"><\/i>Gina Braun, Assis\u00adtance Digital Solu\u00adtions<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"accordion-item-gina-braun-assistance-digital-solutions\" class=\"accordion-item-content\">\n<p><strong>How did you feel on the first days in the new office?<\/strong><br>\nI thought, wow.

I also highly value the various options of gath\u00adering for a short, stand-up meeting in the cube or the arrival zone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the posi\u00adtive effects of the change in your opinion?<\/strong><br>\nThe fact that the work is cool, and that I am happy and glad to work in this team.
